Nice effects though.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
#Horror is a who-dun-it or 12 year old girls whose parents have no issue with a little swearing. The opening credits are done in about 30 seconds and are geared toward an audience that lives on their smart phone.A group of 12 year old over privileged girls are having a dress up party at Sophia's (Bridget McGarry) upscale house once owned by an artist who killed his guests and is still at large. Sam (Sadie Seelert) is the first out cast to the clique. She is a scholar student from the less than snob area of Greenwich (?), Conn. She was invited by Kat (Haley Murphy) our second outcast. She was picked on when her mother died and has returned the favor. She is bitter and angry. Our third outcast is the stereotypical fat girl ( Emma Adler). The girls pick on each other and they all agree "Being 12 sucks."Most of the film consists of a group of girls doing what unsupervised girls do being allowed to play with art, dress up with real diamonds and furs, and drink straight vodka. And in one case...eat cupcakes. There is a murder that happens in the opening scene, a man having sex in a Ferrari. Most people garage their Ferrari and Jaguars in the winter in Connecticut due to the salt thrown on the highways. Just saying.The movie was a bunch of young looking 18 year old girls acting as if they were 12. The irony is when they cast teen girls, they normally cast women in their twenties. The film contrasts how the girls act when they have their electronic devices living in their own world and when they experiment living without them sharing their lives. While this is a who-dun-it, I never really concentrated on that aspect.Your 12 year old might like it, if your are willing to let them watch it.Guide: F-word. Brief implied sex. no nudity.
Bit weird , not good , genuinely considering looking into any previous criminal convictions of anyone who was remotely involved with the release of this monstrosity. Seriously. The scariest part of this movie was that it was made . I can literally think of 1.5 million things that Money would be better spent on than the 1.5 million dollars that went into making this . This total waste of time . To whoever okayed this . The fact that you have the time and money to do this , is more unsettling and thought provoking than anything in this (and I genuinely hesitate to use this word) film. I'm done... I am just so completely done. Shame on all of you.
If I could give this less than 1, I would...absolute rubbish! Other than the first two deaths that are right at the opening of the film, there's nothing else until the last 20 minutes! No scares, no jumps, no hint of danger...nothing! The entire film is composed of obnoxious girls prancing about taking selfies and hash-tagging their inane, boring night whilst being ridiculously mean to each other. The acting is less than poor (apart from Natasha Lyonne and Taryn Manning from OITNB fame - although why they agreed to be part of this I have no clue) and there are several moments where you just want to cringe! I desperately wanted to turn it off but thought...no, it'll get better, there'll be a murder or something will happen soon...I was so wrong! I'll never get that time back, feels like a complete waste of an evening! Worst film I've ever seen and that's saying something!!!
Not often in life do you hope a group of children get hurt or attacked but this is one of those times. This movie seemed to reflect the girls attention span, it focuses on an idea for a few minutes then completely forgets about it. It references a four way wind point in the house that never has any bearing on the story. The loose backstory on the former owner seems to only serve to add mystery to the camera killers identity. Why are the artworks moving around if the story doesn't have a supernatural element to it? There are countless other questions but the other main one is the viewer constantly has to see this hashtag game of likes but no one explains how it works or what's it purpose is. At one point it looks like a tic tac toe of photos that earns a knife emoji after clicking three random photos in a row. Explaining the game would give a little substance to their addiction to it, but it only showed that Kat played it as a child for two seconds and that made her a killer.The ways these girls talk reflect the level of warmth their parents show them but is no reason to act that way yourself. They girls act more like their are on a forced bonding sleepover for bullies. Their conversations are just a back to back of insults that as others have mentioned, does not add any compassion to them being hunted down at the climax.The movie could have been a lot more interesting if it was about the old artist killing them off for being in his house or realising that a power in the house drives people to kill. Sadly it did not do that it just shows an hour of young girls pretending to be adults who ultimately choose to kill their "friends" for the hope of getting the most likes in their nonsensical game. (Last question - Since the main killer was not there earlier, who killed the dad and mistress at the beginning?)
