Ash and Bone

I like indie films. But right from the beginning I knew it was a mistake to stream this film. The direction is rudimentary and continues to be so for the remainder of the slow movie.

The cast is a little confusing too because the stepmother looks like she's the same age as the dad's goth daughter.

And the crypt keeper bar tender has the weirdest hair on the planet. I think they dyed his scalp black and his grey hair is poking thru!!!! Not kidding.

And that brings us to the acting, which is pretty bad. The writing is not great, but it could have been under the helm of a more talented wordsmith.

In other words, it could have beeen a way better movie with talent across the board.

Okay horror about a family that leaves Detroit to stay at the old family cabin in the country. It's step-mom, dad and the daughter, who has a chip on her shoulder and is in the throes of rebellion against her daddy, partly because her mom died? Anyway, miss goth/metal daughter steals daddy's car, hits the local watering hole in the country village with her trusty fake ID, picks up a couple of new friends, and they go exploring in the nearest scary house, except, and I know people do dumb things in horrors, it's my favorite genre, but just how stupid is you if you go into a haunted house to explore when people still live in the house? Anyway, there's all sorts of family gruesomeness and sex-serial-killing and cannibalism in that house, but there's only one good thing either there or in this movie and that is Erika Hoveland as the bad-girl in the bad-family.

The story is very basic and has been done 100s of times the acting is horrible 1 actress is decent shes 1 if I guess youd called a villian has no gore some us implied but they dont show it the tension isnt there cause of bad acting and mediocre filming . I would say it's a slasher wanna be and a thriller wanna be but doesn't accomplish either. I was going to turn it off but it's free on my Amazon prime and its horror so 7 out if 10 are junk anyway so what the heck. Usually when they get 5.8 and 5.9s I love them but this 1 is a loser. I think it's getting harder because we have so many streaming companies and the usual suspects that need films so they have to accept crap and in return people's standards are getting lowered.

Ok, I like indie movies, but what was this. Some of the cast were OK, but most of them horrendous. Obviously made up reviews. The story very hollow, and the situations the main characters get into not believable att all.

I expcct this to be below 4 in no time. At least my evening looking forward to a new great indie flick was wasted.

Camera work and dialouge sub-par, and story old as hell. It has a few qualities, especially the couple hanging out in the bar, but the main character and her friend (they hang out in the beginning) must have taken acting classes from a coupon found under someones shoe.

Do not watch.

I got reeled in by the good reviews but suspect most of them aren't impartial. This movie is slow paced and there's nothing that you haven't seen a hundred times before. It's not bad enough to turn off but not good enough to enjoy, which is a particular type of torment.

I've no issue with indie horror and have some in my top 10 but unfortunately this isn't one of them, or indeed in the top 100.

There's a lack of action, gore and even the storyline doesn't provide anything worthwhile. If there was a generic horror storyline app then this is what it would produce. Best avoided and not with the time.
