I have to admit that I harbored zero expectations to the 2020 horror anthology "Frightvision" as I sat down to watch it here in 2025. I happened to stumble upon it by random chance, and it looked cheesy enough to make me stop and take notice. And the fact that it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, then of course I opted to give it a fair chance.
Writers Selena D., Rick Jermain, Rebecca Rinehart, Mike Trebilcock and John Ward didn't exactly put together a script for the various segments that proved particular enjoyable.
This is what happens when a group of friends get together after one of them uttered "guys, do you remember Elvira Mistress of the Dark? Wouldn't it be cool to make a movie like that?", and someone ventures into their parents basement to dig out an old VHS video camera. And instead of Elvira, we got Dr. Boobenstein.
The acting performances in "Frightvision" were pretty amateurish. Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list.
The special effects in the movie were laughably bad. The early 1990s computer games were even better than this.
Do yourself a favor and don't waste 103 minutes on this movie. Some of us suffered through this ordeal, literally, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.
My rating of directors Selena D., Rebecca Rinehart, Mike Trebilcock, Brad Twigg and John Ward's 2020 horror anthology lands on a generous one out of ten stars.
