Human Resources

This is clearly super low budget, but you get the send that it's made with a lot of heart and passion from everyone involved, it oozes from this movie.

It's fun, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's a cool concept. If you're a fan or The Store by Bentley Little, this is as close as I've seen to something like that in a movie. This definitely felt more like the kind of weird horror fiction I read.

There are questions in the plot, the acting doesn't always land, and I'd have preferred better costuming for the supernatural stuff, but... None of that kills this. Even when the acting doesn't hit, I feel such an earnest care from the actors that I don't care.

A lot of people demand perfection from small movies, a perfection people didnt even expext from bigger studio movies in decades past. Everything has to be a sleek package these days. I say no, a flawed movie can still be a good movie, and what I see here is passion and a lot of potential, and that is worth supporting.

I'm pretty sure this is my first review. I've had this account for years, but the negativity here inspired me to speak up.

If you want to have some spooky fun, watch this movie and chill out.

Stumbling upon the 2021 horror movie "Human Resources" here in 2023, and never having heard about it, of course I opted to sit down and give the movie a watch.

The storyline in the movie, as written by Branden Swope and Evan Swope, was a bit weird. Now, let me just say that the movie started out okay, but it quickly became somewhat stale as there wasn't a whole lot happening throughout the course of the movie. And when the final reveal of what was going on took place on the screen, you simply have sat through too much nonsense, so it was a little bit too little and too late.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but the cast did good jobs with their roles and characters. Just a shame that they didn't have a more entertaining, enjoyable and thoroughly written storyline to work with.

Visually then you're not in for anything grand. There are virtually no special effects in the movie, and it "Human Resources" have had that at least, then it would have been a more durable movie to sit through.

For a horror movie then "Human Resources" was disappointing. Sure, I managed to sit through all 108 minutes of director Braden Swope's movie, but I was only slightly entertained by the movie as a whole. And if you are an avid fan of horror movies, then I wouldn't really recommend you spend your time, money or effort on this 2021 movie.

My rating of "Human Resources" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Having worked in retail, I could relate to the characters stuck in retail hell. I really like the premise of this movie. The huge eerie store, the retail workers boredom and feeling they are in a dead end job. The setting, a large hardware store is the perfect setting for a horror movie. A new employee realises that there is something wrong with the place he is employed at. The secret is much more horrific than even he realises. The story does manage to build a nice creepy atmosphere and it gives you the feeling that something is...off. Empty employee files, weird noises. Strange sights , the movies does a good job with it's obviously limited budget. A movie like this is not to everyone's taste, but some will find themselves enjoying it.

Don't bother unless you want to fall asleep fast. Any of the 10/10 reviews were done by the director and his family/friends.

The premise had promise, however with the lackluster performance of the lead, the shoddy filming and the far too guessable plot, let's this film down. One of the most annoying parts of this movie was that the characters were so boring that they might have well been played by mannequins, at least then the "character development" choices (ie the lead's constant "anxiety") would not have been present.

If you want a not great but fun retail horror film, watch Black Friday or something similar, as they will at the very least be entertaining.

We liked this a LOT! This was totally a new kind of thing. We found the main character so endearing. This guy was totally sweet and afraid of failure and it was really well acted. Then, he gets the chance to step up and be the hero! He also, seemingly, gets the girl.

So, if you're not sure, go ahead and check it out. I mean, it's free right now on Tubi. So whaddaya got to lose?

We thought it was totally worth the good rating. It's kinda tongue-in-cheek and it doesn't take itself too seriously.

So, there you have it. Our two cents on a really good little movie.

Don't listen to the haters and just give it a shot. Hollyweird is putting out leftist trash anyways. This has none of that crap.
