Don't Turn Out the Lights

I wasn't expecting much when I decided to watch this movie: just wanted a watchable standard horror. The movie starts off typical for a horror movie. A group of friends get together to attend some festival, they get lost, and then strange events occur when they're unexplainably stranded in the middle of nowhere . The concept seemed fine at first, so I figured I'd be in for at least a decent 90 mins

The movie is unwatchable though. The acting from everyone is awful and cringy. And the characters are not likable. Their jokes (eg the "Screw Marry Kill" game) and behavior (eg drugs) make them appear more annoying than charming. The only likable character is the ex-Marine, who unfortunately doesn't stay long. Instead, we get stuck with the girls who keep screaming and arguing like divas to the point where I, as a viewer, couldn't get behind them and root for them. When strange events start happening, the ladies go on and on about "hey, maybe this is all a prank" to the point where I wondered why they would make our protagonists so dumb.

Do not believe the hype. This movie is a mess, it pays homage to the cult classic film Race With The Devil with the snake scene, but other than that it was all over the place. Friends take a road trip in a RV to a musical festival. Things start to unravel without explanation as they find themselves fighting to survive. The premise was a long and boring story that led up to a flat ending. I think the high scores on this movie are from friends and family of the actors, Director and production crew. What was really happening? I felt time was wasted watching this movie. Time that i can't get back.

A group of obnoxious absolute idiots set out on a road trip in which nothing interesting happens for the first hour. A gaggle of bad actors pretending to be college students screech inauthentic pablum at each other, run afoul of some cartoon hillbillies, and generally make the stupidest possible decisions in any given situation. The characters are college students as college students would be envisaged and written by a 50-year-virgin who had gone to college but who never once interacted socially with anyone. Anyway, some ridiculous and not-at-all-scary shenanigans happen and yada, yada, yada I just kept hoping every character would die already so this steaming puddle of loose donkey excrement would finally end.

I have never encountered a cast of such untalented and quite frankly terrible actors in all my years of film watching. Not one of these actors is even remotely tolerable to watch; they should stick to flipping burgers at the roadside diner they were recruited from.

The camera work and editing are barely a notch up in talent from the horrendous acting. I would guess this whole mess was some high school film project, but high school film students generally have at least an ounce of talent and creativity.

How this abomination made it off the cutting floor is beyond imagination. Don't rot your mind by watching this disaster.

Couldn't get past the constant obnoxious yelling and the insincere acting. Turned it off after 25 min.

It seems like they tried to do the typical group of friends go off to celebrate a weekend and get killed one by one but the characters are so loud and obnoxious that we just couldn't watch anymore.

Also the music is too loud and obnoxious and just doesn't fit with certain scenes.

I really wish we could've gotten through the movie because the movie cover and trailer seemed like it would've been really good.

I would've liked to see the characters slow down, be sincere and take the role seriously (loud and aggressive does not mean you're doing it right).
