Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with this movie prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2024. And since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance.
Writers Jay Black and Brian Herzlinger put together a rather generic and bland script and storyline. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it was a very forgettable movie, truth be told. The narrative just simply didn't have enough spice to it to make it a memorable viewing experience. And the pacing of the storyline was rather slow paced, and without a whole lot of interesting things happening as the narrative crept forward at a slow pace, it just was not a compelling movie to sit through.
It was pretty much devoid of thrills. There were a couple of kills throughout the course of the movie, but it was hardly enough to lift up the movie much.
Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with actor Jonathan Bennett. I will say, though, that the acting performances in the movie were actually fair.
Watchable for what it was, but "Deadly Yoga Retreat" is a movie that came and went without leaving any kind of lasting impression. And this is definitely not a movie that will find its way back to my screen a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend for fans of the thriller genre to rush out and get to watch.
My rating of director Brian Herzlinger's 2022 TV movie "Deadly Yoga Retreat" lands on a three out of ten stars.
