18 & Over

This is all over the place. It doesn't know if it's a horror movie, or a campy horror movie, or a drama, or a black comedy. You can be a campy horror movie, you just have to commit to it. I want to say I have respect for ALL filmmakers and congrats on getting this made. I know how much work goes into making a full feature film. The problem is, this doesn't all fit together and there's too many voices. If it wanted to be campy it should have stuck with that the whole way through, but it kept switching up the tone and that didn't work. It made it unwatchable and very difficult to get through. Again respect for getting it done, but it could have been SO much more if the tone were all even.

This is a frustrating film. The horror film part is well acted, tense, and has good twists. But for whatever reason, there is an annoying reality show element that feels like it was clumsily added later.

The reality show-within-a-movie is a bunch of horrible social media folks and doesn't connect to the real movie in any additive way. Paris Hilton almost makes it win some irony points, but it never lands.

Keep your finger on FFWD and you can still get a decent experience out of this.

I'd love to see a 70-ish minute cut. Call it "18 & Over, The Good Parts Edition". I think I'll do a fanedit and come back to it in a few years.

I mean come on! As far as thrillers go this wasn't that bad! It was all very relevant to the time I'm which it was made. From the webcam girls to Covid. And the cast, I mean come on it was sooooo random but so GOOD!!! From some really uhh names, to some stellar B lister cameos. The plot was good, the music was decent and some of the dialogue was cheesy, in a way that makes it amazing haha! And then we have the ending...It. Was. Glorious hahaha!! I am so not mad at the time I spent watching it. I loved seeing Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton. Then Jake Weary shows up. Like I said before. I don't understand the hate. It claims to be nothing more than it is. A cheesy thriller with a great cast.

IS IT CAMPY AND DUMB? Yes. That's the beauty of it. People don't appreciate dumb movies enough. Too many movies have to be "good" or "well-made". Those movies are fine, but bad movies are too. Treat yourself to a nice garbage movie and watch this masterpiece.

But seriously, I think that the people in the reviews saying "Pamela Anderson must be hurting for money" are missing the point. This movie is campy and fun to watch. It's silly and no, it won't win any awards. But it's a decent plot with good acting. Highly recommend.

I gave it a 6 because I mean.... It's still not a perfectly good movie....

Alone at Night (2022) is a movie currently available on Hulu. The storyline follows a young lady with an Only Fans type page who has her top client obsessed with her. She is quarantined and feels safe from her followers...until someone breaks into her house with a motive to either kill or kidnap her, or both. Can she stop her would be attacker and unmask whom would want to do this to her?

This movie is directed by Jimmy Giannopoulos (The Birthday Cake) and stars Ashley Benson (Springbreakers), Jake Weary (It Follows), Winnie Harlow (America's Next Top Model), Paris Hilton (House of Wax), Pamela Anderson (Barbed Wire) and Luis Guzmán (Wednesday).

This is one of the wildest and most random casts you will ever see in a movie. It's too bad the writing wasn't better so they could have been better utilized. The primary storyline had potential but the kill/attack scenes weren't that intense, gory or well done. The entire reality television subplot wasn't needed and really didn't add anything to the movie. The execution of the reality series was both funny and really bad at the same time. There are some scene with good use of lighting and camera angles and the cinematography was very clean, almost too clean for the genre. A little more grit could have been used throughout the movie.

Overall, this is an awful addition to the horror genre that I would score a 3/10 and recommend skipping.
