Hurt

This movie was excruciatingly painful to sit through. Seriously, honestly, very cringeworthy. It had the potential to be really good, but failed to live up to that potential. The first thirty minutes weren't too bad. It was a good premise, but after the first thirty minutes, the storyline went downhill really fast. The rest of the movie was just the lead character Rose over acting and running around crying and hyperventilating. I've seen a lot of pretty bad movies, and after watching this one, I would gladly watch any of the other terrible movies I've seen again, before I ever watch this one again.

The torture was mine, as I struggling to make it past the 1 hour mark without slipping into a coma. I finally gave up at 1:02. The pain was in watching each dreadfully boring scene linger... and linger... and linger. The misery was in realizing I had paid $5 to bore myself to the point of tears. But, if you really want to know the details so you don't think I'm just unfairly taking out my frustrations on this film by throwing vague insults...

The direction moved at a snails pace, or slower. And I wish I was exaggerating, but I am not. The dialogue was minimal and delivered with a total lack of enthusiasm by any of the actors. The camera work made things even worse. Long, slow still shots from weird angles or perspectives. There was no action, no character development, no witty dialogue, no suspense, nothing to make you care about anyone or anything in the film. Maybe something happens at the very end, I'll never know.

And, lastly, I understand this is a low budget film. I actually like low budget, independent films. But the problems in this movie had little to do with the budget. It really seemed like an intentional, stylistic choice. And that choice was a bad one.

Initially, there was some thing to work with when hubby comes back from service and struggles with keeping things together while at the halloween hayride. But it quickly devolves into masked killing followed by 40 minutes of solid crying from the lead.

Why in the world didn't she call the police ? It's not very believable. I couldn't get past how stupid Rose was. There were cars on the road in clear view. Run out into traffic and stop someone. Or better yet call the police !!! I found myself getting mad and screaming at the screen for her to call the police. Instead she runs around like an idiot sobbing. 🙄😒👎

Cinematography is static you literally will watch nothing for a few seconds , where the character left the screen then you are staring at nothing and the character come back then you get glimpse of the character doing something while being blocked by a huge prop.

Story is okay but not interesting, too many tension built up to nothing. 1 hour into the movie still nothing but tension, it's a very slow paced movie.

Horror... idk all i see is darkness with slight pop here and there of the murderer.
