Rift

This has to be the worst film I've seen since "The Room" and even that was more entertaining. The main characters did not have an ounce of chemistry between each other or the other actors and actresses for that matter.. The acting was bad, wooden, not believable, the storyline was weak and predictable, lacking any imagination or creativity. This must have been "a made for tv daytime movie", for a rainy day in the afternoon as a filler, as a last resort. So low budget that the cheques probably bounced.

The only positive was that it lasted about 1hr 10 minutes as to not prolong the agony too much.

Do not waste your time on this terrible production.

The movie itself is okay. Obviously low budget. I'm puzzled about one thing though. Anyone who ever watched The Weather Channel when Vivian Brown was an on-air meteorologist would know her instantly. Such is the case with this movie. Every movie website I've looked at lists an actress named Stephanie Casebier as the actress portraying news anchor Mary Jacobs. No, it isn't. I looked up the actress, Stephanie Casebier, and she's looks nothing like the actress portraying that character. Stephanie Casebier is a Caucasian actress. The actress portraying news anchor Mary Jacobs is African American meteorologist Vivian Brown. I watched her for 29 years on The Weather Channel. I certainly know her when I see her.

I kept waiting for anything interesting or clever. It just felt like it was created by a group of high school kids. Plot lines were loaded with stereotypes and odd decisions. Dialog seemed forced... like they were in a hurry to get this monstrosity done as quickly as possible.

Now I have to fill a review with minimum characters to describe something that makes me angry for wasting the time? How about this... Don't watch this bad movie. It's was bad bad baddity bad. Full of badness. I could not unsee the bad which was thrust upon me. If bad were a marshmallow, this would be the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the first Ghostbusters movie. I didn't like it.

I gave it two stars because at least it provided some jobs for the actors and crew.

The movie was so horrible it feels like I just watched a rushed high school project! Zero imagination, no creativity and with the worst dialog ever. Basically, it was an epic fail!!! I'm so mad that I just wasted time I will never get back, watching the paint dry would have been more entertaining! I cannot stress this enough - DO NOT WATCH THIS NONSENSICAL MOVIE!!!

For a film shot and released during the height of COVID I can understand the time restraints and casting.

It's a popcorn film if you got a hr and some change to spare give it a watch. It's not an academy award winning but at least there was effort placed on production & lighting (the restaurant scene was dope ).

Nice to see some newcomers get a shot and cool to see a film not steeped in urban galore and gratuitous violence and sex.

Maybe with a bit more budget, no PANDEMIC, & some bigger names, Rift could have carried a little more weight.

I guess a lot of the reviewers haven't seen a tubi original.
