Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I am writing this because I was reminded of the film when asked by a meme sharer on Facebook what is the worst movie you've ever seen? I'm guessing that sums it up really, thanks Netflix Maybe not the worst ever but it popped into my mind, unwelcomed from around a year ago & I can't beat it for now. Does this review contain spoilers? Fairly sure there is nothing to make the experience worse so no. If you like low budget " arty" shots you'd still be better off navigating instagram randomly. Obviously this is my opinion but it seems others share it so view at your own risk.
But a film masquerading as horror on Netflix? That I pay for? It's almost as though students had been tasked to work out how horror films makers perform jump scares and other clichés.Really poor, predictable, terrible acting, the lead character (male) one of the most unlikeable characters I've come across since James Corden.Absolutely nothing of any merit to write about and certainly nothing original other than the nuclear war theme which doesn't really have a huge bearing on the film as a whole.How this made its way onto Netflix is beyond me.
Another low-budget found-footage haunted-house movie of the familiar type, with shades of understated British quirkiness that recall some of the Brit horror films of the '80s. A student of paranormal research and his girlfriend are on a road trip to find a haunted house for him to study. Well, this is Britain and Dartmoor to boot, so it's no surprise that they come upon a choice example. But when the weird-o-meter starts rising into the red zone, they call in a professor and a medium for damage control help, and all playing out against the backdrop of an "unfolding" world nuclear crisis. What's the point of the nuclear crisis when a spirit or spirits are on the prowl? Here is the '80s throwback concept: More of scary! Just add nuclear crisis to any situation for instant tension! My wife and I have watched probably a couple of thousand horror flicks between us since the '60s, and we've seen far worse films, many of them made by more famous names on much bigger budgets. Despite the rants of the ever-increasing "It-sux-dude" tribe in these parts lately, we give it a pair of likes.
I don't think there's a horror film that me and my wife hasn't seen in the past 10 years (maybe more as she's a real addict). If you are looking for a film that is truly scary, this is the one for you... lights off and be prepared for some jumpy momentsI have given this film 10 / 10 - I have never seen my wife scream and jump like she did several times whilst watching this film... she and I both loved it.Great story line, acting and as I say the scares are phenomenal... even if I did have to escort my wife to the loo three times last nightHope the director sticks to this Genre and replicates the success he has achieved in this film.
