#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.

I put this on not expecting a lot from it to be honest and wasn't sure if I would even make my way through it or I would end up turning it off. I was actually surprised that it was OK and watchable even though the acting wasn't great especially Chad himself. The whole livestream and people commenting as it's all happening is a good idea considering its how life really is. I just wish the ending had cleared things up a bit more but never mind. The whole idea was good but just needed better actors and a better ending but was better than I expected and have watched and turned off worse. Could have been more gruesome but was good for some jumpy moments.

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.

#chadgetstheaxe is really fun, smart horror comedy that offers lots of scares, lots of laughs, and lots to think about when it comes to social media and influencer culture. What I really appreciate though is that the social commentary is done in a way that is entertaining and clever without being overly earnest. The characters are all great and you unexpectedly end up being invested in all of them, the influencers' "fans" included. The movie is a continuous livestream making the fans ever-present through their live comments, which adds a lot of entertainment, but also makes you realize that the fans are also like villains in their own right. There are lots of unexpected twists and it's not overly gory, so it's still a good watch for people who might typically shy away from horror movies.

I would highly recommend.

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.
