#ChadGetstheAxe

Was fortunate enough to have watched this at Glasgow Frightfest 2023. What a great "found footage" film. Really funny moments in here, had an absolute blast watching with a massive audience, who were laughing and cheering throughout. Cast were all on-point, and the live-stream "comments" that popped up throughout the film added to the experience with recurring commenters developing hilarious and unique personalities . If you like A24 high-art horror or want something genuinely terrifying, this might not be for you, but if you want a really fun, creepy, easy watch - don't sleep on #chadgetstheaxe.

Gen Z comedy horror movie. 4 dumb and not that likeable characters are live streaming inside a house in which a satanic cult killed people. On the screen, tenths of comments are flooding it, creating a messy and chaotic viewing/sighting.

If what i am saying bothers you, don't watch it, you're not gonna like it. I am in my 40's and i found it funny at times. It was not so easy to watch will all those comments and the shaky camera but i enjoyed it, i would say even that some comments were hilarious. Characters were dumb but not annoyingly dumb, at least for me. On the contrary, as the movie was progressing, i started to like them.

Acting was not great but i have watched way worse young actors in 20's movies. It was passable.

So, i think it was a fun ride. Lower your expectations because this is definitely not a 10/10, 9/10 neither a 8/10 movie and you will probably enjoy it as well.

Horror Comedies for the win! If you want something to watch that will keep the Halloween vibes strong without making you pee yourself - for gentle Halloween lovers like myself - this is the right speed. Comedy is the strong suit of this film and that's not a complaint - this film kept me entertained in the theater and will tickle your scary/funny bone at home too. The subject matter is timely and the actors nail their shallow/likes-obsessed characters in a way that will have you rooting for their demise. Rent or buy, you won't be disappointed! Go get the popcorn and take a chance on #chadgetstheaxe.

As a fan of horror, you learn over time that a 6 for a horror movie is sometimes a 7 or 8 when being viewed by an audience that appreciates or grew up with horror movies. I have seen dozens of movies I loved that on this platform were rated in the 5s or even 4s which early on confused me, but as you watch and watch you come to realize that certain media is held to different standard, just like how unimaginative superhero movies get 7s but all in all suck. When I saw a 6.5 for a found footage horror movie I was very exited, as movies I loved in the genre had rarely broken a 6/10 in the past, but what i got was some stupid horribly acted zoomer influenced bull that had almost no entertaining moments and actually 0 scary moments. The fact that this has or had a 100% on rotten tomatoes is just incomprehensible to me, there was almost nothing enjoyable about this movie, and almost shows how disenfranchised "cristics" are. I can't think of the name but a foreign film did the same premise 100x better (I think it was korean but had the same live feed premise just done without every character acting like an uglier Jake paul) and even that film was a 6.5 at best. Horrid acting, terrible writing, feels like a 49 year old wrote this with help from his 16 year old social media obsessed daughter, don't waste your time. It's honestly probably a 2 or a 3 out of 10 but giving it a 1 so horror fans don't get tricked the way I was into thinking this isn't a huge lazy piece of dooky.

I am convinced that the 10 ratings on here are from family members, the actors or anyone who worked on this movie. Anywho, this movie is definitely based on the premise of how obsessed we are with social media and how desensitized society has become to horror. I actually liked the plot of the movie however the downfall was the acting of some of the characters. But when you think about it, that how some of these "influencers" - every aspect of their lives have to be broadcasted in order to get views and popularity. With that mindset, the characters made some really dumb a$$ decisions/actions during the movie.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, the location was good as I've been to Louisiana and seeing swamps and the "spookiness" of the house was very realistic to me. However it wasn't scary enough for me. I did have a few scares (2-3) but that was about it. The script could've been developed a little more and a few better actors would've made me give this movie a 7. But since this movie was on Tubi and YouTube, I wasn't expecting much and I was right.
