La Maldición De La Bruja

I was leaning towards a 6 originally because I thought it was slightly above average, but unfortunately the ending was quite unfulfilling. Nevertheless I found this film generally entertaining with a few iffy choices.

The acting all around was fine. Everyone did their job and no one was negatively distracting. The only person who positively stood out was the little boy. I thought he did a great job.

Story was fine I suppose, nothing wildly original. Maybe I'm stupid, but the connection between the slap face and the monster made no sense to me, it was barley explained to begin with and is also generally just a bad title lol.

Also I found the relationship written between the older brother and the girl wildly poorly written. They had just met, then she basically lives there and then they fight like a seasoned couple. It was very confusing and weird and took me out of the story. There were a few intricacies and inconsistencies like that, that gave this an amateurish feel.

Another thing that took me out of the story was the monster. It literally looked like someone bought a mask of the witch from Snow White from party city and threw some dirt on it. It looked silly and was hard to take seriously, which was unfortunate.

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did because it did have some cool creep factor, however it was not boring or a waste of time. I would recommend... but not vehemently.

The plot was going good until the police station catastrophe. It is easy to see that there was no way that boy could have done that kind of damage. The director/writer should have at least revealed the "why or who" .Like the movie "Hitcher". Where the main character portrays separately.

Well, first of all it was somewhat of an odd title for the movie. Sure, it made sense in a way, given the contents of the movie, but it just was a lousy movie title. I grabbed the movie, and was about to put it away, given the title alone, but I opted to sit down and watch it on the account of it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen.

And this was a horror movie, at least in the sense that the movie was insanely slow paced and pointless. The storyline told in "Slapface", as written by writer and director Jeremiah Kipp, was one that was lacking a proper structure. The movie felt somewhat chaotic and random. And the fact that the narrative was sleep-inducingly slow didn't exactly help to sweeten the deal.

The acting performances in "Slapface" were actually good, especially from young lead actor August Maturo, because he really carried the movie quite well.

The monster in the movie was sort of a lukewarm experience. Sure, the violent aspect of the being was entertaining enough, and the fact that it befriended a kid was fun as well, but the overall was just bland. I mean, a hag-like crone in tattered robes and shrouded in perpetual shadows throughout the entire movie just didn't cut it for me. When I watch a horror movie with a creature in it, I want to see the creature in its entire being sooner or later in the narrative. But in "Slapface" the monster was always shrouded in shadowy gloom and thus you never really get a proper look a the make-up, design, effects, etc. A fail on that account.

As for "Slapface" being a horror movie, well... Sure, if you are a pre-teen and a newcomer to the horror genre in general, then I could see how "Slapface" would be a horror movie. But for a life-long horror aficionado, then this was a mere walk in the park.

In terms of entertainment, then writer and director Jeremiah Kipp just dropped the ball early on in the ordeal and never recovered his course. This movie was weak, yet I managed to endure the ordeal to the very end. If you enjoy horror movies, skip on "Slapface" and find something else worth your time, money and effort.

My rating of the 2021 horror movie "Slapface" lands on a three out of ten stars.

The movie seems very interesting at start but then the story starts to become boring..some artists seems poor in acting..it had potential and could be a uch better movie.

The actors weren't all that great. The storyline was very sloppy. The "witch" wasn't an IT factor. It was just not a solid film..very sloppy from the jump. Found tiktok more entertaining than the beginning of this film.
