Spin the Bottle

The plot is a lazy, rehashed mess that attempts to cash in on the nostalgia of party games but delivers nothing more than tired clichés and painfully awkward dialogue. The acting feels like a high school drama project gone wrong, with performances that range from wooden to outright cringeworthy. The pacing is all over the place. Production values feel cheap, as if the entire thing was thrown together without any real thought or effort. This movie is not just a waste of time; it's a blatant insult to viewers' intelligence and a sad reminder of how low some filmmakers will stoop for a quick buck. Even Justin Long couldn't save this mess.

Then this movie would have been just another teen unfunny movie of underage drinking and making out and football tryouts and middle-aged fitness influencers attempting to play high school cheerleaders and Justin Long and Ali Larter and not F Murray Abraham as the only people you know.

But instead this haunted kissing game adds like an unnecessary seven hours to what would have been a 80 minute thing for you to drop your nieces off at the theater while you danced danced revolution over at Dave and Busters.

I think all that remains of the original premise to the adolescent romp is the soundtrack which is more apt for an American Pies reboot than for a horror movie this dull and overly long.

And who doesn't wear a black tie to a funeral!

It's cheesy but it's enjoyable because it's not trying to be anything else. If you liked truth or dare you might like this one. It had some good scenes and scares but unfortunately did what most horror movies do and explained itself too much and was too long, it would have been more enjoyable if it was 30 minutes shorter because right now it's just long enough that you loose focus. However if you're new to horror and don't want something too scary this is good, good to have in the background while hanging out and talking about the movie, not too gory but still has some pretty spooky deaths, and feels classic. It feels very 2013 except for the 2024 slang phrases which I feel they managed to incorporate in a way that worked better than most movies that try that.

Where do I even start? It's amazing to me that a movie with a listed budget of over $2M would be as hollow, lame and look as bad as this. There is no style, there is not even an attempt at atmosphere, it's not remotely scary and the script is lifeless and on the nose. Why use CGI so much in the movie? Open the furnace, CGI fire! CGI smoke! CGI blood! Who financed this movie? I don't think anyone involved has ever actually seen a horror film before. It was like a combination of trailers for Halloween episodes of Days of Our Lives. None of the characters act real, zero verisimilitude. A total dud. Overblown lighting that looks like a carnival haunted house. And it's over two hours long! We live in the age of Barbarian, Hereditary and other edgy, hard hitting horror movies that push the envelope and have well constructed stories along with well designed productions. This ain't that. Awful. Like watching a high school church production.

Really good movie. Keep's you on the edge of your seat. From beginning to end, you need to pay attention. Everything adds up in the end.

Glad to see Justin Long play a good guy in a horror flick. Loved Jeepers Creepers 👀 & Cabin Fever 🤒

Horror, suspension, mystery, romance, death scenes, jump scares.

Don't miss a minute of this movie. Sit down, relax & enjoy this highly recommend, entertaining movie.

They Definitely have to make another one, film, similar to this. Original casting and everything.

Every actor played exceptionally really good.

It's a shame this didn't come out in cinemas. 😔🎬
