Reed's Point

Starts Off Bad, But Wait, it Gets Worse... Whoever makes this garbage should stop and focus on something else. Wedding videos maybe? Or possibly just a new career in general because this is fraud.

With unoriginal scenes, poor acting skills, and just a terrible plot- this movie has managed to make amazed at just how AWFUL a movie can be.

The best way to watch is with the sound down while wearing a blind fold.

Music is one of the most important parts of a movie . It's suposed to set the right mood for each scene .

This is soap opera music . It's ruining the movie . I can't even get into it.

Music can make or break a movie . I can hear this one breaking .

Maybe if it put me in the right mood I would have actually finished the movie .

This music , and the bad acting put me more in the mood to look for another movie to watch .

Maybe another time I will watch it on mute and read subtitles to try and get through it that way .

But usually if a movie disappoints me already in the first quarter , I don't usually go back .

Firstly, the good - this was streaming for free on Youtube. The bad - that was probably still too much to pay.

As I see it, low budget movies like this need to lean into the mayhem to get away with it. This outing aggressively refuses to do so - instead meandering with expository heavy dialogue, long scenes of wandering around yapping, wooden acting and scant signs of the Jersey Devil we dialed in to see.

The third act at least lifts this effort from a 1 or 2 star rating to the lofty heights of 3 stars, as it is only then that things become a little unhinged and fresh. But that doesn't serve to elevate the movie to anything more than 3 stars.

How did this even get made??? I've never acted before or been to acting school or have any natural acting ability that I know of but somehow I feel that even I could have done a better job than some of the wooden spoons in this movie. Shame because it looked like it could have been a lot better - the scenery wasn't too bad and the general idea was good but like a previous poster mentioned..it's way to hard to overlook the acting (yes... looking at you, leading actress...)

Right, well where to start?

First of all, I have to admit that I had never even heard a single word about this 2022 horror movie from writers Tricia Aurand, Suzanne DeLaurentiis and Sandy Lo, so I wasn't sure what to expect here. But with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and watch what director Dale Fabrigar had to offer.

Well, the storyline is pretty weak. Sure, there were aspects to it that actually had potential. But the overall image was just a less than mediocre one. So this wasn't a particularly great horror movie experience. In fact, there wasn't really anything scary in the movie, especially not for someone well accustomed to the horror genre.

The dialogue in the movie was pretty awkward and it was somewhat toe-curling to listen to. But to make matters worse, then the actors and actresses were just fumbling around in the dark here delivering less than lukewarm performances and delivering the dialogue as if they were struggling to take it serious. The movie suffered terribly from these facts.

For a horror movie then "Reed's Point" was a swing and a miss. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this movie so you don't have to. Trust me on that one.

My rating of "Reed's Point" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
