Liked the idea, but the execution wasn't good

Not a terrible movie by any means, but hard to recommend. It has some good kills even though one of them is straight out of a cartoon and the idea of showing it from the POV of the killer is cool. However, the pacing is just way too slow at certain points and it starts to get repetitive. It's only an hour and a half, but you really do feel the length. Doesn't help that the acting and dialogue is just awful and the ending falls flat. Not upset I saw it, but I wouldn't pay money to see it in theaters. Worth a watch when it hits Shudder. 5/10

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm keen to see this but I'll bear in mind what you say.

[–] Creamofdacrop884 (1673) 6 months ago

I think it's worth a watch if your interested and know what you are getting into, but probably wait for it to hit Shudder in a month or two.

Been burned a few times lately on "critically acclaimed" movies. Infinity Pool and Civil War being the two flicks. I'll be waiting to stream, that way I can back out easy if Im not feeling connected to it.

I understand not wanting to spend money on movies that you were disappointed in, but Infinity Pool was not critically acclaimed. It got mostly good reviews, but it was a Cronenberg body horror film, that would not connect with the mainstream and was not heavily marketed.

Critically acclaimed as in RT critic score. Should have said that, my bad.

Okay, gotcha.

Saw it today, it was deece. It wasn’t awful, but I did go in knowing it’s going to be a slower movie

[–] Poozer91 (605) 5 months ago

That seems to be the consensus: very slow and atmospheric with graphic gore throughout. I was going to give in a look but every theatre around me pushed it out to make room for Inside Out 2 and Bad Boys 4.

Only had a 2pm and 8pm showing at mine.

The 2pm showing had a pretty good turn out, if I had to guess, 20 or so people

I loved Civil War, was non stop action suspense done well imo.

It would have been a good short film.

[–] Creamofdacrop884 (1673) 18 days ago

Agree. 30 minutes it could've worked.

totally agree with you here. Its unfortunate because i really wanted to like this movie. The concept was perfect for me. Ugh. Also, what's up with that random fire talk about "cancel culture"? it was pointless, 0 setup and 0 payoff
