Untitled Horror Movie

I like how they reveal some of the Holywood "secrets", which might be publicly known, but most of us never really thought about them deeply. The casual talking style was nice, as was the sudden mention of botox(which for some reason cracked me up). It all felt more natural than most conversations in movies, and I really appreciate it. They obviously were overreacting at times, but it seemed like they could contain it within reasonable limits. The real quality of the movie isn't the best, the plot is shaky and almost missing, but the acting is more than good. It was spooky, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The little jabs at the whole politicizing of the movie industry were on point, mostly. I can see why a lot of people were upset after watching it. Well, I am not, and it wasn't bad at all.

What a pleasant surprise, but the movie has fundamental issues.

There was no background given whatsoever to the spell. There could have been 20-30 minutes allotted towards the spell's origins in Hollywood (perhaps a death of some other actor?), some other cities in the USA, or the entire world. There was so much room to use the spell for actual comedy instead of mashing comedy and tragedy and making tragedy look like comedy. With that being said, a huge lack of empathy for the unexpected death of Chrissy ruined it for me. I get that this is a horror comedy, but it's also a horror dramedy at the same time. Some of the actors knew Chrissy throughout their entire career. How do they go from showing so much emotion and fear when she was walking around her apartment to "she died due to an accident, let's go meet Bobbie?" - this was NOT funny.

The untitled horror movie stood out for its originality, cleverly twisting familiar tropes into something that felt fresh and unpredictable. It struck a smart balance between tension and humor, using just enough wit to keep things entertaining without undercutting the scares. However, the film's impact was dulled slightly by its generic music, which leaned too heavily on stock suspense cues and failed to elevate key moments or add a distinct auditory identity. With a more inventive score, it could have been even more memorable.

Despite its musical shortcomings, the film's inventive plot and sharp tonal shifts kept it engaging from start to finish.

This is a basic review for a basic film. If you have the patience to watch a talking head horror film...this one is a very good choice.

The actors were good and fairly believable. While I didn't quite die of laughter - there were some really amusing-to-funny bits, snarky lines, and reactions. The characters are supposed to be a little pretentious and over the top. I suspect that you aren't supposed to love any of them. Special effects? Please note this is a webcam movie...the special effects are the bare minimum and not the focus. A viewer should realize this going in. The special effects that were featured were good. It's not high art or remotely groundbreaking...but entertaining enough to recommend to horror fans. It gets compared to "Host" (2020). This film is much lighter and, honestly, more fun. Would be great as the second film of a double feature with Host. The highest praise I can give it is this: I may even watch it again.

All the nauseating camera motion of a found footage film in the making of a found footage film. Top that off with a reminder of all the Zoom meetings I've been forced to sit through during a pandemic, and I just couldn't like this film.

The character build up was thin, but that was a godsend because the characters were shallow. I didn't want to know any more about them than what was presented early on.

The concept is something everyone who owns a phone has thought of. It's only the most narcissistic of us that would even try to pull it off. It dates back to 2008 when "SMS Sugar Man" was shot entirely on an iPhone.

I'm sure there's an audience for this film, but I found myself browsing Reddit half way through.
