Blight

This is an excellent discourse on what happens when trust funders wander too far from their annuities. I think there might be a revenge motive lurking beneath all of the twenty-something angst running amok in the narrative. Getting back at dad maybe? Are events symbolic, metaphoric or just plain nagging rashes waiting for all those climbing out of their teen years. I do know a plea for help when I see one though. Maybe a few weeks in a soup kitchen? No, no I understand now! This is only a Korean game show fitted to the dilemmas found in the good ole USA. Please, get me outta here - descent awaits.

This movie had so much potential in the beginning. The characters were believable, good camera work, dialogue felt genuine, etc. But by a third of the way in it seems like no one could decide what plot they wanted for the movie, so they decided to just throw in a bunch of different horror cliches. Nothing tied together or made sense. There wasn't even a hint of an explanation, where we could call it an "open ending." Just a bunch of friends getting attacked.

I have no idea what I just watched. Are we dealing with ghosts? Is it aliens? Let's shake the camera a few times and make a movie. We'll let the viewers figure it out. Lol and whoever did sound needs to learn that music should not overpower the dialogue. Not to mention how many times the volume goes up then down up and down. One start for not going beyond the 75m mark. There are no spoils to spoil.

This movie had real potential! The acting, camerawork, and plot were more than decent. But I HATE HATE HARE movies that never explain what happened, and do not give the audience enough information to deduce it. It is called "tricking the audience" and it sucks.

This whole movies feels like the movie "The 4th Kind" in which they draw you in from the shaky-cam and with the classic silly chaos from party settings. You fall in love with the character Tien (the token Asian) from the beginning and even though he wasn't the lead, I couldn't stop laughing. The acting was solid from the lead character Luke.

Understanding this was StrangeDoor's first film out of film school, I say they did an amazing job. Really looking forward to when they can recruit more money and talent on their future films.
