Ash and Bone

Well, at least the cover/poster for "Ash and Bone" looked interesting.

But I am getting ahead of myself here. I stumbled upon the 2022 horror movie "Ash and Bone" here late in 2022. And with it being a movie that I hadn't aready seen, and with me assuming it was a horror movie from the cover, then of course I had to see what writer Bret Miller and director Harley Wallen had to offer.

And it wasn't actually a whole lot. The script and storyline in "Ash and Bone" was mundane and bland. There wasn't much of anything exciting, scary or thrilling going on throughout the 97 minutes that the movie ran for, and that made it a rather prolonged movie experience to sit through.

I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and that is something that I enjoy when watching movies; getting to see new talents on the screen. And while the performers didn't have an abundance of workable material from the script, character gallery and dialogue, then they actually still managed to put on fair enough performances.

Visually then you're not in for a particular grand treat here. "Ash and Bone" is not a movie that makes use of a lot of special effects, so don't get your hopes up on that account.

This is not a horror movie that I would recommend for fans of the horror genre, because it was a pretty weak foray into the genre. Ultimately then the movie's cover/poster was the best thing about this ordeal.

My rating of director Harley Wallen's 2022 movie "Ash and Bone" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

This really deserves maybe a 3/10 at the absolute max, but obvious fake reviews and ratings will deceive people into thinking it's worth watching. It's not.

I have nothing against low budget indie films. Unfortunately this one is simply not good. The acting is bad, the characters and the script are bad, the story is so predictable and really not that interesting. This feels like something that's been done many times before.

The final scene was just weird and out of place.

I really don't have anything positive to say about this movie. Don't waste your time with it, and definitely don't believe the 9 and 10 star ratings and reviews.

The story is very basic and has been done 100s of times the acting is horrible 1 actress is decent shes 1 if I guess youd called a villian has no gore some us implied but they dont show it the tension isnt there cause of bad acting and mediocre filming . I would say it's a slasher wanna be and a thriller wanna be but doesn't accomplish either. I was going to turn it off but it's free on my Amazon prime and its horror so 7 out if 10 are junk anyway so what the heck. Usually when they get 5.8 and 5.9s I love them but this 1 is a loser. I think it's getting harder because we have so many streaming companies and the usual suspects that need films so they have to accept crap and in return people's standards are getting lowered.

I got reeled in by the good reviews but suspect most of them aren't impartial. This movie is slow paced and there's nothing that you haven't seen a hundred times before. It's not bad enough to turn off but not good enough to enjoy, which is a particular type of torment.

I've no issue with indie horror and have some in my top 10 but unfortunately this isn't one of them, or indeed in the top 100.

There's a lack of action, gore and even the storyline doesn't provide anything worthwhile. If there was a generic horror storyline app then this is what it would produce. Best avoided and not with the time.

Get real! This is not a 10. I give every movie 30 minutes to convince me that it is worth watching. After 30 minutes the sheriff arrives and it looks like the poor sheriff hasn't got a proper police car. I feel so sorry for him driving around in his private car.

The plot of this movie is so uninteresting. There is no need of copy-cat backwoods-horror-movies. What can be the reason to watch a boring third rate movie?

When this movie is a 10, Nightmare on Elm Street is a 100. I just hope the ensemble enjoyed making this movie, so at least someone had fun.

Please watch something else.............
