Guess Who

I just finished watching this on Tubi. It's about a man coming back home to visit his family, along with his wealthy fiancee. His family is super weird and his hometown takes part in a yearly ritual night of pranking. As bodies begin to appear, suspicions arise and secrets are laid bare.

Though unoriginal, it would have been okay as long as the film was made competently. Poorly made with below average acting, non existent cinematography, a lousy script and almost nothing of value beyond 2 decent kills.

It just makes zero sense and just continues to spiral out of control, completely blowing apart in the last act. None of the plot twists make even a little bit of sense. It's almost as if if the first half and last half were two different movies. The first half being a slasher and the 2nd being weird familial drama.

It was a major waste of time and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Wow! Just wow! This movie is beautiful!

Michel St-Martin is a master in his craft! The cinematography is simply incredible and I can't wait to see what he does next!

I heard that this movie was shot in only fourteen days! To do something so beautiful and entertaining in just fourteen days is so impressive!

Every shot is masterfully though out. Every scene and every sequence brings tension and fear in my body.

We also have great performances by Keeya and Corteon, the chemistry they add on screen must overlap into real life!

Another big props to director Amelia who directed this story into an entertaining and beautiful movie.

For a Tubi original movie that was free to watch, this was surprisingly good. I won't give away any spoilers, because with a title of "Guess Who", you should know there's going to be surprises along the way but it's best to see this without knowing too much beforehand.

I never heard of Mummering before watching this, but apparently it's been a tradition since the 1800's and is actually a real thing. I'm surprised that a horror flick hasn't been made with this kind of plot until now because a tradition like that just screams for one.

I thought the plot and acting were both good here and the film kept me interested until the end, and I thought the final scenes were pretty intense...(don't worry, no spoilers will be written in this review.)

I especially enjoyed the lead actress who played Kaitlyn and would love to see her in more horror/slasher flicks. I think she has the perfect look to be a great "Scream Queen" actress like Jamie Lee Curtis was back in the day.

I thought she was really good as the innocent girl thrust into a nightmarish situation and felt the actress displayed lots of charm and charisma. I'd love to see her again as the "Final Girl" in more of these types of slasher flicks.

I thought rest of the actors were also good as well as the production quality and pace of the story. If Tubi continues to make more original horror flicks like this, I will continue to watch them. (but then they'll probably start charging us to watch so maybe I shouldn't say that lol) I give this film a solid 8 and recommend especially to other horror/suspense fans. I really enjoyed it.

A trailer park. Interesting. Why have I never seen a horror movie set in a trailer park before? That and the central concept - mummers - help elevate this from the mediocrity it would have been otherwise. The mummers concept is weird to say the least, and it the movie stayed with that instead of going the direction that it ultimately does it would have been much better. As it is, this is an average middle of the road thriller. A slasher that loses its edge halfway in. The performances are decent, actually they're better than the script deserves. I don't do spoilers so I won't go any further with a review other than for free, on Tubi, it's not bad.

Guess Who sees a newly engaged couple return to his downturned poor community to visit his family for Christmas. There's a tradition in this trailer community of Mummers, wearing masks and telling puns for people to pass. In addition, Mummers also try to scare people and pull pranks. (Solid, fun Christmas activities, no?)

This plotting isn't fleshed out more than this though. There is a stalker killing people. And there's a twist. There is a subtext of rich versus the poor that comes around for twist.

And the film ultimately ends with this basic idea of a plot. And a twist. And ends. There isn't much more than this. It may be filmed adequately, and the acting is okay. But, there isn't much to the total product at the end.

It's okay to watch, just not exciting, or not much to get from it.
