The Anniversary

The most annoying movie I've ever watched in my entire life. It sucked in every aspect 🙈

This is painfully boring, with the action starting well after halfway through the movie. The antagonist was not compelling and the victims were super noisy throughout. The acting was bad and the script was lame. The characters felt like children in grown ups' bodies. It was so tedious to watch.

Sadly, I've learned that all too often, bad movies are propped up in the ratings by fake reviews and sandbagged rankings. This movie is case-in-point. It is definitely not the worst I've seen, but read the first three reviews...trust me...as someone who takes his reviews seriously (and I write many), these are props. Nothing about this movie is remotely as those reviews state. Everything about it is subpar, and in many facets, VERY subpar. I don't mind a little bad acting, I don't mind stories that have been done to death, and I don't even mind when less professional equipment is used, as long as there is a semblance of cohesion and flow, and a decent enough script to pull it all together. The acting in this was, again, not the worst I've seen, but the rest had almost no redeeming value. Bummer, as I enjoy "cabin in the woods flicks."

Feel free to check my other reviews. I RARELY give 1's, as there is almost always something that can be taken from a film. ALMOST always. Just not in this case.

Not sure which is worse: the acting, script, or direction. Save yourself the headache and skip this waste of time completely.

Based on the previous glowing reviews, you'd think this little indie film was an undiscovered gem. Or maybe, after you saw it, you'd suspect the reviewers were somehow affiliated with the film...or being charitable, just saw a different movie.

In any case, this movie is just plain bad. The dialog is inane, the characters are generally unsympathetic and their behavior is irritatingly stupid when the "action" begins. The so-called "action" was followed by 10 or so minutes straight of high-pitched caterwauling and lack of realistic responses by the characters/victims. The villains were lifeless cardboard cutouts. I hoped and couldn't wait for the lot of them to be killed off and this turkey to be over.

I appreciate those risk-takers who make indie movies. However, this one would have been better left at the junior high-school where it was probably written. See something else or don't say I didn't warn you!
