A Message from Brianna

I have just made an account to post this review.... I've never written a review of a movie before. I will save you the time and tell you don't even bother. The director should concentrate on a different career choice, cause this just ain't it! Well I can't believe that this was allowed to be made. Nothing good about this film, a hour of my life I won't ever get back. Poor editing, you could even see cast crew in one of the scenes. I'm utterly speechless to this. Story line could have been executed so much better. Just speechless!!!!!! Acting was terrible I've seen high schoolers do better than this! Come on man, you all should be ashamed.

So let me first start with being very clear that I went into this with a mindset to really support my people and their efforts in the film industry. I have sooooo many mixed emotions... one being that I typically don't like the quality in filming of most B list movies, this was definitely a greater film skill quality than those considered B listing ... but the acting did not match that spirit. The acting was at best mediocre. The portrayal of the overbearing, angry and non supportive black wife and the weak submissive black male irritated my soul. I quickly gained a high level of disgust for the character Kathy portrayed by Asia'h Epperson. I spent most of the movie hoping the husband .. played by Vernon Davis would just.. for lack of a better phrase.. put her in her place... the dumpster... something! I was also equally confused by the casting of their daughter... this whole grown non walking child they had laying in a crib in their room .. like WTH??? That child was as big as the mother! The plot and storyline was at it's least generic... I just don't think anyone would find enjoyment in watching this ... but I watched til the end for no other reason than I hate to not know for certain how a movie ends. Their attempt at a plot twist at the end was a major fail, it just didn't have a place in the predetermined story line.

The was horrible,the acting was just bad. The wife always having a nasty attitude and that nurse when he went too see his grandfather wow!!!! I didn't like the storyline at all. When the father walked in the kitchen and didn't see his daughter on the floor I knew it was going too bad then.

For them to just leave nah it wouldn't of happened over a ghost and blame the husband for everything it was grandfather not the husband .Couldn't believe they just left that baby like that,made no sense,ending was strange.

Oh i forgot!!!! It got me when the grandmother killed that girl,it wouldn't of been that way, she would of stabbed his ass. Movie was bad just bad.

This movie was weak as hell. No black people would stop fighting for their child and dump her. Just plain ridiculous. The acting was mediocre at best. The male was weak.

I sat down to watch the 2021 horror movie "A Message from Brianna" from writer and director DeShon Hardy without ever having heard about the movie. But this being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen was sufficient to make me watch the movie. And I will say that the movie's synopsis actually sounded interesting as well.

And "A Message from Brianna" was a horror movie. Not because it was a scary or disturbing movie. No, it was a horror to sit through, because the storyline was very bland and generic. And the acting performances in the movie were amateurish at best. The entire atmosphere of the movie was just oozing with low key and low budget horror movie. At best, then "A Message from Brianna" felt like a home video project.

I wasn't entertained by the storyline that DeShon Hardy managed to concoct for this 2021 horror movie. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on, not even if you are an avid horror aficionado like myself. Some of us suffered through this so you don't have to.

There was just nothing scary about this movie, aside from how bad it was.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but I wasn't impressed with what I saw on the screen.

My rating of "A Message from Brianna" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
