At the End of Eight

This movie is so low budget, so poorly acted and so bad... so bad it's almost good. If you are rating based on fun, this gets more than one star! Come on, one star reviews! I read in one review they made this for under $5000 and you can tell. But it was $5000 well spent. The premise of the movie has been done before, but there's an interesting twist to it and it is not in the least bit boring. The "villain" Macbeth is actually very well played by this actor. Actually you can see the potential in most of the actors here. It's not necessarily bad acting, but purposely played off that way. And how can you not love a movie where instead of running out the front door, they actually do run upstairs? It's too corny not find some joy in the ridiculousness of it all. The movie never tries to be something it's not. Although I do get the undertone of current society's reliance on social media possibly leading otherwise innocent people to ensue in mayhem, etc. Not an original idea, but there is a platform here. Even the part with the ripped shirt... it doesn't come off as "oh, give me a break" in a bad way. It's actually endearing. I'm not going to give a summary of this thing. Others have already done it. But honestly, it's a good mindless watch if that's what you're looking for. And the director (who also acts in the movie) is alarmingly attractive. Would love to see more from him.

The concept was there: a contest to sneak into a house and stay there for 8 hours. "I see you" did it well, so they tried too. However, the movie just stumbles along, literally - the characters enter the house and stumble, and hit everything, making as much noise as possible! Oh, no big deal! I'm not surprised they were found. The "twist" raised it to 3 stars but i can't forgive bad audio editting (voice overs made me think this movie was a foreign film), nor the clumsey screen writing where they tried to advance the plot with weak dialog. I appreciate the motives of each character but not enough to like any of them. I was just so disappointed.

All people cry about anymore is how no one writes anything new and when they do, they don't like it. I loved the premise and honestly, it's a really good movie! For a $2,500 budget, the acting was decent and yes it's very low budget but good story that kept you guessing. It's a lot like don't breathe, another movie I love but has subtle differences. Not understanding the hate at all. A low budget wonder in my humble opinion.

The opening is the only reason I watched it. It was definitely cheesy and short-lived. Seemed amateur and thrown together. While the movie had nothing to do with the popular social media platform, it was.much like the Tiktok "challenges" that have become a thing these days. Maybe that was the point of the movie. To bring awareness and show the very real outcomes that can happen when playing those types of games or in the real world, doing tiktok "challenges" like this. Macbeth was probably the best out of the actors. Much like the movie, my synopsis is short and bland. It had potential of being better I think, but there's not much else I can say to say to hype it up, unfortunately.

This movie is so so so bad. It's not even so bad it's good. It's not the typical intentionally corny horror movie that ends up being good. It's just plain bad. I'm not even sure how the average rating is close to 5 stars?

It is written badly. Directed badly. Acted badly.

It is written so horribly that while watching one scene in particular the thought crossed my mind that it looked like an entry for a middle school script contest. In the scene one of the intruders finds a missing person's poster sticking right out of a box. Who on earth bothers to put a missing person's poster in a basement, in a box, but conveniently leaves the bright red "Missing" headline sticking up for all to immediately see?

The plot is everywhere and nowhere. There's a twist at the end that makes no sense and is unnecessary. Where was the director in all of this? Was this person really looking at the script, plot as a whole, and acting and thought "This is great."

My god, the acting was bad from beginning to end. The woman jogging around the neighborhood in the opening scene didnt even do a good job of pretending to jog.
