Don't Say Its Name

In this film we follow an indigenous peoples on tribal land as they try to figure out who or what has been killing family and friends in a mysterious way. This movie is definitely trying to tell a message as well . Which is welcomed but not done in very subtle ways. Acting is decent except for one white dude who plays the obvious racist -- that could have been done better too. Glad to see a "Native" American a.k.a Indigenous peoples film. Enjoyable but could have changed some things around. 5.5 out of 10 stars.

This film was not very good. Tbh the main reason I bothered to leave a review is that this film had 100% on rotten tomatoes due to not many reviews being submitted so far. Each review was very high and gave a glowing account. Which is why was so disappointed at the awful acting.story and effects.

I should have taken more notice if the fact that the reviewers and the publications that gave such high reviews on rotten tomatoes were unknown to me and the reason this film looks like a television movie is because it has all the production quality of one.

Do yourself a favour and avoid this film and go for something rlse.

Poor acting from virtually all the cast denigrates what would otherwise have been an average supernatural "myth" movie.

Quite boring with lots of extended conversations about the meaning of life ie padded script fillers which just seemed like the writer did not have much to say.

The special effects / gore looks like tomato sauce (and not even of HP quality, more your Lidl cheapo watery variety) and the horror is the usual invisible predator to save cash. It is obviously low budget and to be fair I do judge based on many things including the movie budget but this was just badly made - from the absolutely out of place music which really annoyed me at points in the movie where it jarred badly as it was so out of place.

Then we have the rather poor acting from the main female lead - it was as if she was reading off a cue card at times. She was so out of place as a Ripley / Vasquez hard-ass female ex-army vet, it elicited a chuckle on more than one occasion - what was the casting director thinking?

Nope as a horror movie this one is a bit of a plonker!

I was hesitant at first to watch it afraid of I was gonna waste my time but it was entertaining I won't lie, I was expecting something totally different reading the plot but the actual plot and story was actually really dumb but it was nice I've watched much worse I suggest it if you have nothing better to do.

There is nothing a film can do to irk me more than have bad sound. Nothing. Poor writing and bad acting get to me less. This one really, really ticked me off. It isn't that it's muffled or poorly recorded, it's the mix. My GOD will you PLEASE bring the dialogue up in the mix and take about 30 percent or a little more off the INSANE volume of the music and sound effects? Please. Watching this late at night with everyone else asleep is an absolute nightmare. Can't hear the dialogue so you turn it up then there's music loud enough to wake the dead. Seriously, stop that. Movie wise, it's well made. Derivative, not very original but entertaining enough. Performances are good. Could have been better if I could hear more than half the dialogue over the blaring, bass heavy music.
