Nuit barbare

The structuring of this movie is utterly bizarre. Almost an hour into a 90 minute movie nothing had happened. Just endless talk about nothing interesting. Was this supposed to be extreme effort put into character development, so that when the event the movie should've been about actually happens we care more? If so, it did not work.

I can handle a slow build up if it's done well. But this was basically just watching a group of adults act like no adults in the history of humanity have ever acted. Then when the event actually happens it has to be worth it for the patience you have invested, right? In this case it wasn't at all. It was just weird.

It was hard to find much to like about this one. The cast try their best to bring some life out of the script but even that mostly falls pretty flat. Not a lot to see here. 4/10.

This film mangles the story of this type of film. Annoying people with secrets come together. And then a seige happens, tormenting them. And more stupidity ensues. Actors do well with what they are given, but unfortunately, there is little given to them. Nothing new to this genre of film.

Another poor lockdown movie, set entirely in a country home where two couples are having an uneasy evening together. Dark secrets spill out into violence, and that's even before a "home invasion" type scenario develops. Tom Cullen and Iwan Rheon have been fine elsewhere but can do little with the boring scripting and trite psychology here, while the latter half becomes increasingly ridiculous as well as being entirely overfamiliar.

This is a horribly slow movie. Don't waste your time or money on it. It has no real rhyme or reason why someone would waste there money making such an awful film, they should have the money too a charity or something useful.

I really was torn between all the good and bad reviews on weather to see this one or not. After watching it I can see why. The story did not explain what the heck was going on at all unfortunately. So your trying to figure out why they are doing what they are doing. The acting was good and for that they get points but they really lost point with me for such a confusing story. This is one of those movies that is good to watch but nothing is explained so you wish you never started watching it in the first place. As always, be your own judge. I myself will not see this one again and will not recommend it to anyone I know.
