The Nameless Days

This was not a total waste of time, it just felt a tad undercooked. Now, should it be at the top of your cue? Probably not... but it had some decent potential.

The foundation of the plot and the lore behind it was solid, spooky and intriguing. It was that and the poster that got me to commit to watching. Unfortunately, it didn't go much of anywhere and teetered on the precipice of boring... It just really needed to beef up that storyline and action.

It held it together for the first 2/3s despite its cliche script and slight lack of engaging action... but something about when it hit the third act it really kinda fell apart. The story and the acting seemed to go down hill and something about the over all quality felt like it gained 10 indi points... and not the particularly positive ones. The monster also had some potential but piece by piece leading up to the final reveal it unfortunately looked sillier and sillier.

However, as stated, the story was intriguing and spooky. Also for the majority of it the acting was pretty decent from most of the cast. If you are a forgiving viewer and patient with/appreciative of indi cinema I would recommend. 4.5 rounding down to a 4.

The movie could have been way better, the plot had potential with the use of this lore, but it was executed poorly. The mid-range acting skills killed the mood on several occassions and the plotholes didn't help either. At one point the father said to his daughter "don't look" while sort of making an attempt to shield her? It didn't work at all though, because his hand was uselessly waving around in the air instead of actually trying to cover her face or turn her away from the scene. If you watch it, you'll know what I mean.

In my opinion the movie was quite boring and I don't necessarily even recommend it.

I enjoyed this film, I appreciated that it gave more of a storyline. So many horror flicks rely just on gore and scare leaving. Nameless days has an interesting storyline, message, and the spook factor! It's a low budget film that is well done!

In fact, it's pretty okay for a low-budget, no-star horror film - with some decent acting and cinematography - but it lacks narrative punch (most evident in the lacklustre ending).

Well, no wonder that the days were nameless, because the 2022 horror mystery "The Nameless Days" was a massive swing and a miss from writers and directors Andrew Mecham and Matthew Whedon.

Sure, when I sat down to watch "The Nameless Days" it was without knowing anything about the movie, aside from it being a horror movie. I found the movie's cover/poster to be interesting, and since it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.

But the storyline in "The Nameless Days" was just bland and downright boring. I actually drifted off to sleep twice during the monotonous and pointless narrative that moved with the speed of snails. So yeah, you're not exactly in for a grand moment in horror cinema with this movie.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate. Not great mind you, but not bad either. So at least the movie had that working for it. I wasn't familiar with the cast here, which I usually enjoy when watching movies, but the cast in "The Nameless Days" literally had nothing to work with.

Visually then "The Nameless Days" was bland. Again, you're not in for a grand cinematic experience in the horror genre, should you opt to sit down and watch this movie.

My rating of "The Nameless Days" lands on a two out of ten stars. This is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us did suffer through the ordeal so you don't have to.
