Unsheltered

I love these kind of films but this one is just bad all the way around. I can't name one thing I enjoyed about it and for me that's tough. 45 minutes in and STILL absolutely nothing interesting or scary has happened. Not even a jump scare! I couldn't even tell you one name of any of the leading characters. I woulda until you can watch this for free if you really want to watch it. Total waste of money and time.

Why did they go there? Of all the places on earth, why go there? Why nobody suggested another location..? Was this place budget friendly?.... I wanted to understand why was this the place be?.....

Its really bad. The plot and ending. I'm actually Mad at myself for sitting through it. If I could give it zero stars I would. The ending had no clear explanation and it was one of those "something happens in the credits," endings.

I usually love scary mother nature movies, but this one was soo disappointing.. The movie took FOREVER to get going!! I mean nothing really started happening until almost an hour in; they didnt really include any of the bad hurricane weather; and I didn't think they did a good job with the gorey, special effects parts either.... I also didn't like how it cut back and forth between the college kids and the police investigation stuff; they should've kept that seperate in my opinion and maybe used it for part of the ending or something. I'm glad the filming wasn't shakey since some of it was filmed from their perspective, but they should've picked between either just using the "found footage" or just filming it from a 3rd party perspective tho. It definitely had potential to be a decent movie bc of the storyline....

It looks to have been shot with one professional camera, in addition to many of the cast's Motorola flip phones. There are worst movies out there, and at least some of the scenery was nice, and the sound was consistently mixed.

Let's just get it out of the way quickly and just mention in passing that this multicultural, woke, vaping cast is an excuse to perpetuate the most cynical and dramatic racial stereotypes. But hey, white people! Am I right? (that line is legitimately in the first 17 minutes of the movie.)

The attempt to legitimize the found footage narrative style was so lazy, and rather indicated the requirement to film this on cheap, handheld cameras. This was also the first movie I've ever seen, in my life that included re-enactments of police rummaging through crime scenes in addition to the interview-as-an-exposition-dump trope.

The acting was so bad, their lines were so insultingly stupid and their characters were so unlikeable that I found myself wanting to fight them physically. I'm not even sure if I wanted to hit the actors or their characters, but I was overcome with the overwhelming desire to hit them, while holding a brick.

I will definitely never want to see this movie again, and I may end a friendship if someone I know ever so much as suggests watching it. However, to stay consistent with how I generally rank movies, I added one star for the fact that it was filmed outdoors, and some of the scenery was pleasant to look at.
