#float

At about 30 to 40 min the movie gets stupid It's hard to explain how it's just disappointing actors don't seem to care about their friends. There is no sense of urgency there is no emergency. The one is always on Instagram even though her friend was taken right behind her. The movie is just stupid plottedid. The trailer was a lot better than the actual movie can't believe. I paid 3 bucks for the stupid thing. I mean there's no urgency nothing the characters don't seem to care about nothing and no one. The cast could have done a little bit better by improvising practicing. The role would have showed a little bit more determination in the movie to make a movie feel as I thought it would be in trailer. Anyways. This is a corny movie don't get it.

Directed by the Head of Business Affairs for quickly tanking studio Blumhouse, Float is just more proof that Hollywood producers are almost universally creatively bankrupt.

Float is a semi-found footage horror film about a group of millennials going on a tubing trip in memory of their friend who died on the river last year (why was he tubing by himself?). Utilizing about every cliché in the genre, someone or something begins to kill them off. (Don't worry, it will never explain what)

The acting is atrocious. The script seems like it was written on a napkin. The attempts to be relevant come as subtle as a hammer to the head. "People thought covid was fake too until it killed them!" "Rosé all day!" as well as a monologue to the dead guys urn they brought along how she "knows he was a good guy and wouldn't be hurting them" all will leave the viewer shocked the director isn't fresh out of high school.

Further proof was the music. There were several points they used the actual stock stinger effects that every YouTube video editor gets for free! I had to look up the composer, he did 2 things back in 2015 and nothing since. Considering a lot of the music is a guitar strumming or some synth pads I can't imagine why.

After a very tiny theatrical run, Float was dumped quietly on Tubi.

I find little to recommend here. There's about 3 kills with some standard gore. No nudity but the cast is in bikinis and swim trunks almost the whole time if that's your thing. Everything else is done so pedestrian that it's unforgivable for someone supposedly with experience.

Oh, and guess what? We get a music video during the end credits! How #kewl.

I'm not really sure what to say about this movie except what I put in the title - it really seems unfinished. It's only 75 minutes and I think it really needed 15 more. A lot of movies are good until the end, and it's like they didn't really know how to end them so they come up with a really bad ending. This one sort of takes another approach - the plot isn't bad up until the end, and instead of giving it an ending, they just kind of ended the movie abruptly. Honestly, I'm not really sure what happened at the end. You're left not knowing if the creepy guy is good or bad. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this one.

Right, well I have to admit that the fact that this 2022 horror movie had a hashtag in the title was a clear and present sign of something was wrong here. But still, as I hadn't seen the movie nor even ever heard about it, and it being a horror movie, of course I opted to watch it.

Sure, I wasn't harboring any expectations to the movie, so writer and director Zac Locke had every opportunity to entertain and bedazzle me.

Except he failed to do so.

"#Float" had a very generic storyline, if you could get past the annoying social media influencer aspect, which is a laughable concept to begin with. And the fact that there was nothing scary or interesting happening throughout the 76 minutes that the movie ran for, also just helped cement this as a waste of time movie.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but there were actually some fair enough talents on the cast list, I will say that much, despite of them having virtually nothing to work with in terms of a properly interesting script or memorable characters.

As for "#Float" being a horror movie, well, that might be stretching the term a bit.

If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this one. It just simply isn't worth the effort, nor the time or money.

My rating of "#Float" lands on a two out of ten stars.

I figured I would watch this movie late night since it was only a little over an hour long. Horror CAN be done quickly, though this wasn't Dien well at all. I turned it off 20 minutes in and that was giving it a chance from the opening credits on. Good horror can be done with bad actors and low budgets, but they skimped on the acting, like REALLY SKIMPED. Had a goodish premise and then Blake had to go and ruin it for anyone willing to give this movie a shot. The 3 girls were all actually good actors but the dudes seemed like they were pulled off the street to be in this movie. The creepy dirty guy was ok as well, then once again, Blake comes in the scene to ruin it. Don't waste your money on this like I did.
