Nix

The bad: a "thriller" that doesnt thrill. Not one bit. What do I need say more? The whole point of a "thriller" is that I get excited, that I live in great anxiety of what is gonna happen next, that I am shocked by it. None of that. Bummer.

Not any good? It aint a terrible movie, but I would categorize "Nix" as a tv movie, with below average tv movie actors, with a below average script and with below average technical details, like photography and sound.

The movie "Nix" is just going through the motions. I wonder who this movie could best be suited for and I kinda veer to the tv soap audience, because the casual tv soap viewer doesnt mind below average quality at all, they just wanna see a mildly entertaining story...

It was like watching a film generated by a very low quality AI, which has been drinking heavily. The story made no sense, the acting was terrible, the dialogue illogical and often irrelevant. At one point the film almost "accidentally" stumbled into something resembling a sensible plot... but then quickly reverts back to ludicrous bad horror movie cliches. Some of the character writing and acting is so bad, that this makes a better comedy than a horror movie. In which case if you are looking for some bewilderment and a few laughs I would recommend giving it a go. Even the ridiculous outro song gave me a chuckle.

I hardly ever leave reviews but I'm so surprised at the low rating this has so I wanted to give my perspective as someone who is easily pleased when it comes to horror films and doesn't need everything to be terrifying or overly complicated.

Nix had a cool looking monster, a likeable family, some sad and real moments - You can't ask for much more these days. Not to mention it had a few "ahhhh cool" moments for me.

Sure, it was a little vague in places but for what it was, it was fun and interesting as long as you didn't think about it too much. A fun way to spend a Friday night with a friend and some snacks.

This is pretty far from perfect. It's a horror movie without a lot of horror, and the budgetary constraints show a few times. But, it's good to see Anthony C. Ferrante doing something serious, something without the dreaded words "The Asylum Presents" on it. Something without CGI sharks. Ferrante has talent, his early work showed that. Hopefully next time out he will get a shot at directing a film with a better script and a higher budget. I'd be very interested to see what he could do in that situation. He does the best he can here with what he has to work with. The script needed fine tuning, for sure. But all in all, it's ok.

No connections at all. Don't get to know the characters. Nix doesn't mean anything at all. Movie didn't make much sense. No chronological order. Some weird trippy parts. Acting horrible. Plot lines hard to follow. Nothing explained about the monster. GREAT MOVIE GUYS! I had a great time watching it. You should watch it just for the custom soundtrack at the end. They blew the whole budget on it. Nicks was lowkey kinda weird looking. I wish there was a backstory. Great concept but where was the skills to prove it. Let me remake it for you guys. I'll keep the soundtrack ;) (for the record, I will be hearing that song in my nightmares every night for 3 years)
