Canceled

If you are A bit older and have seen a lot of horror movies befor. Then this movie isn't that scary, but thats just my opinion. I wasn't scared at all.

The younger once in the audience on the other hand, screamed like crazy.

I probably had too high expectations for the filmand thought it would be more like the program Spökjakt whit more equipment and background history of the place they investigated. But for being A swedish horror movie it was quite ok, i hade hoped for more jump scares and to be really scared. Better luck next time. But go and see the movie and decide for yourself What you think of it, mabye you Will be scared , the taste is so diffrent from person to person.

I managed to miss Joakim Lundells last movie while it aired, and after seeing Cancelled, I'm glad I did.

This abomination of a "movie" lacks in pretty much every aspect it could. The plot is uninspired and dull, which makes the ending very easy to foresee. The acting is half-assed, forced and manages to feel childish at times. We won't see these actors go anywhere big anytime soon, hopefully never. But is it even their fault? The script was doomed from the beginning.

It's really just a rehash of common horror characteristics and tropes, this movie adds nothing to a genre already clad in poor attempts at making the viewer nostalgic to better films.

The ending doesn't make sense either, I'm not going to mention any spoilers, but it feels like the writers had a case of writers block, and it shows.

Is it scary though? A poorly written horror flick can be saved by good atmosphere and well made jumpscares. Cancelled has neither. It's campy as all hell, without trying to be. The setting, an old abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere looks like a studio. Everything looks "broken down and creepy" in a planned way, old children's toys can never cover up that a movie just isn't scary. Regarding the jumpscares, they're bad, and very easy to call out well before they happen.

I could sit here for an hour mentioning logical fallacies in the film, but that does not really serve a purpose. It's a cheap attempt and a scary film, and it fails miserably.

Are there any positives? Eh, the sound design is fine, and most of the camera work is well done. But overall, this film is lacking.

Better luck next time Joakim.

I really enjoyed Joakim Lundells other production: Feed from 2022. So i had very high expectations on this one. And a really good trailer.

The start was bad, then it gets abit better and then bad again.

Firstly i really "Spökjakt" and ghosthunting series. But this was a disappointing watch.

This was not in my taste.

Very cheap jumpscares and no explanation to anything.

Extremley bad scriptwriting, very bad acting and nothing origional or unique.

The story isn't unique at all. A very cofusing storytelling with very unlogic and cofusing elements.

Nothing scary in it all. Ridiculous bad. Unfortunately a very weak horror film.

Left the cinema with a feeling of no emotion really.

One of the worst horrorfilma ive ever seen.

Extremely long-winded and very illogical reasoning and conclusions. Unbelievably disappointed unfortunately. A Copy pasted horrorfilm.

But to be Sweden where we havent created alot of horror, Canceled is a honest try with some good parts.

I do not recommend it really.

I went to see this horrendous flick only to hold my friends hand and went with little to zero expectations. My gut feeling was absolutely right, I wanted to leave right out the door as many times as the movie has minutes of dreadful, uneventful and boring scenes.

The story is full of loopholes, the character development is non existent meaning you have no emotional interest or care for anyone. As someone before me has mentioned the music and camera work is OK but this quality of work is really the bare minimum for a movie to even go up in the cinemas like this.

I want my 97 minutes of my life back. - 1/10.

Feed was bad but in a good way and still entertaining, this however was not.

Very poorly written and executed. The high definition video footage from the 70s which seemed to be self-stalking a family should have been a plot of it's own (and might have been a better movie).

I don't think I saw a facial expression change once except maybe the Polly girl. It was like they had scarfaced in Botox-needles before shooting.

Still don't really know why they named it "Cancelled". There was some talk about the main characters loosing sponsorship from a pan pizza company but that was literally it.

I wish I could cancel this movie and get my money back.
