Well, when I sat down to watch the 2019 movie "Those Who Deserve to Die" I was expecting more of a horror movie. Granted, I didn't know anything about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, but the cover made it look like a horror movie and it is listed as horror here on IMDb.
I suppose technically it is a horror movie, but I think it is more of a thriller with slasher elements to it, as well as it having some psychological thriller elements to it as well. So the movie grasps around many elements. But ultimately, it was not an overly great movie. Sure, it was watchable, but it wasn't an outstanding movie.
I think that writer and director Bret Wood was just simply trying to accomplish a bit more than what was possible with the boundaries of this movie. Sure, it was done well enough, but the movie just lacks something to make it stand out.
The acting in the movie was adequate, and that definitely counted for something.
But for a horror movie, then "Those Who Deserve to Die" just failed to fully entertain or impress me. Maybe it is because I am a seasoned horror veteran. And it could be discussed whether or not the contents of the storyline was crossing a border. But of course, that is a matter of personal preference and where you individually draw the line. But keep in mind, it is a movie meant for entertainment purposes.
My rating of "Those Who Deserve to Die" is a four out of ten stars. This is not a movie that I will recommend that you rush out to get your hands on to watch, because it just wasn't that special. If you happen to get the chance, watch it, you might find something enjoyable in it. Who knows?
