The Nameless Days

There is nothing really too wrong with this film apart from that it is so drawn out and boring.

Everything is average. It's not the kind of really bad film you sometimes get, where it looks amateurish. No, it looked ok, the actors were ok, the camera work was ok. Everything was ok and was a perfect ground for something chilling. However it never happened.

A lot of darkness and running from the monster. Personally I am mostly bored at the moment in any film when they just seem to run away and are chased by whatever. This film was almost the whole time just running and hiding, and that was very boring.

I gave it a 3 because it wasn't an insult like some films. The actors deserved that much. They were likeable but boring.

This is not going to hold anyone's attention and nothing exciting ever happens. Even what should be exciting is boring.

If you want a background movie for chatting with friends, this is kind of ideal. It will never grab the attention of anyone in the room away from your chatting, and yet you can have some moving images on, like a fireplace.

I was weaned on scary movies. Dracula, The Mummy, Frankenstein. Stories that creeped into your dreams, but not so gory as to traumatize anyone. I guess the blood, guts and gore has a place, but I still prefer a story. This story worked for me. I'm glad that I ignored the naysayers.

An Aztec demon hounds the American-Mexican border for 5 days. Rahui and his pregnant sister Gabriela are trying to cross the border when the supernatural being attacks the group. Track athlete Nicole (Ally Ioannides) and her migrant-hating father Charlie (Charles Halford) live on the family ranch at the border.

This is functional as a B-horror movie with a few problems. The biggest issue is the monster. I don't like her. She's too slow. Nicole is supposed to be a track athlete. It seems set up for a fast monster to chase after her. She's not scary enough. For a horror, that is deadly. There are also a few minor issues with the acting, the staging, and the plot. If they fix the monster, this would be fine.

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!

I notice more movies being low-rated here than years ago. Watching movies & listening to music are my favortie forms of entertainment. But it seems like most people commenting on movies here these days, actually don't like movies. They seem to expect every movie to be on the level of Marvel or DC, unless Nicolas Cage stars. Then it can be as idiotic as the WWE and reality TV. Is it those 4 years of Trump, or these years with the CCP virus that infected so many people's ability to enjoy anything. One ridiculous comment about this movie mentions the bland landscape, apparently so out of touch with the world that they forgot that life happens in ugly places as well as the beautiful vistas of New Zealand.

The Nameless Days has flaws, but none that would take away a normal horror movie fan's enjoyment. To us, it wasn't a waste. Fans of low-budget horror movies of the past, that TCM recognizes as horror classics should be able to appreciate this fun little supernatural horror. For the wannabe Roger Eberts, no this, your idol was a wannabe director who flopped at movie-making, so like so many UK musicians who failed became the harshest music critics, Rog became a movie critic, critiquing what he couldn't accomplish. I always preferred Gene Siskel, & watched mainly to see extra scenes from movies not shown in the trailers.
