Found Dead - Urlaub in der Hölle

I don't know why everyone seems to want to hate on this. It's a decent B-movie slasher.

Does it make much sense? No, not really but does that matter? No, not really!

It's entertaining, doesn't require any brain power, and is engaging enough to keep your attention.

Was I rooting for any of the characters? Absolutely not There's a little twist at the end, which is fun, if predictable.

There's a post credit scene which hints at a prequel. I'd be happy to watch that if it ever gets made.

I was going to give it a six, because the timeline is a little confusing, but I'm feeling generous and not mean, so a solid seven it is!

Imagine this: two couples seeking a peaceful desert escape, but what they find is anything but tranquil. As the story unfolds from four different perspectives, the tension skyrockets. The film masterfully weaves together suspense, fear, and a touch of the unexpected, keeping you at the edge of your seat.

The setting plays a crucial role, enhancing the eerie atmosphere as the characters grapple with the realization that their Airbnb hideaway isn't as deserted as they thought. And when the night turns long and bloody, you'll find yourself immersed in a journey of survival. The director brilliantly navigates between the viewpoints, leaving you guessing and second-guessing throughout.

In terms of visuals, the cinematography captures the vastness of the desert while also delving into the intimate terror within the confined space of the Airbnb. The camera work accentuates the growing unease, making you feel as if you're right there with the characters, trying to piece together the puzzle of the night's events.

"8 Found Dead" isn't just another horror flick - it's a psychological thriller that plays with your mind and keeps you hooked. If you're into suspense, unexpected twists, and a dash of gore, this one's definitely worth checking out. It's a wild ride that'll leave you talking about it long after the screen goes dark. Grab some popcorn and brace yourself for a gripping cinematic experience! 🍿🌵🔪

And that is the guy who "played" the old creepy dude. He just was entirely not a good actor in any way. It seemed like he was hired as a favor to some financial backer's retired grandfather to get him out of the house so grandma and her book club could meet in peace.

It also doesn't help that every line written for him is just so smarmy and corny. Nothing he says sounds earned or true to character. There is also something entirely off about every non-expression he attempts. The old lady wasn't all that good either. It seems like they wanted a Lin Shaye-type but at least the second choice actress seemed seasoned and attempted actual acting. Her dialogue was just as cringe though.

And why on Earth is there both a Richard and a Ricky? Just rename out of them. It didn't help that the two non-old couples intentionally looked similar as well. I did like the cop couple. Most notably the red-headed one.

Needless to say, I also hate how it ended. The "franchise" hopefully ends here.

One star for each found dead. But really solid movie. Did not feel like a normal horror movie, really well written. The intricate plot follows the four couples through the dramatic events. Tim and Rosanne bring their A game and then some. The practical locations were excellently chosen, there was a scene that was in a home of a dog painting. The dog looks like a very cute puppy. I wonder if it was a painting of someone's actual dog. Overall really liked the movie. Hope there is a part two to further the story and explain how some of the people got in that situation. I am also excited to see another story from the writer.

This movie was ok, are Airbnbs this much trouble? If so, count me out, the acting was fine, I fell in love with the old couple. The wife Liz was hilariois to me, lol. Her character was way off in a kooky type of way,, she seemed to enjoy her screen time, playing her role to a Tee. Barbarians the movie was about an airbnb as well, so was the new Netflix Film with Julia Roberts called Leave the world behind, same premise didferent scenario though. I would leave immediately if I showed up and someone was occupying the place I rented out. The characters in these types of movies makes all the wrong decisions.
