Wrath of Van Helsing

First off, hats off to anyone who is passionate enough to go out and make a film. That's an accomplishment of itself. Good for them. And I'm sure they had a blast making it.

For critique, because I want them to succeed. This should have been a videography reel for YouTube or for their resume. In that sense, it's pretty neat.

Since they're labeling this as a film and them as filmmakers, I'll judge it as so. This is one of the worst movies of 2022. I've seen 200 released 2022 films. This is in the bottom 10.

The acting was non existent. It was so badly directed. The writer fundamentally doesn't understand story. The lighting could be churned up as "point a flashlight at them". The sound was uneven and horrible. The music had to have been from a porn soundtrack. The cinematography had decent moments where they framed a scene well.

I'm not quite sure what the goal of this was. To have fun making it? Then they succeeded. Was it to entertain? They failed. I hope the director seriously self reflects if he has any aspirations of being a filmmaker. Otherwise, it's not for him. My true score is 1.5/10.
