Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Do these people ever went to acting school or something. I mean in the 80's the lowest B movies (now called "indie") were 100 time better then this. Camera shooting, light, acting, music, writting ... anything were better, or at least watchable. Do someone try to learn any basic of movie making nowdays ???? What is it, a movie ??? NO , it's a homemade video for their backyard with no light or camera or editing. It's terrible not only this title but ALL the others Indie videos from this year and the years before. Digital camera has killed the cinema.

The trailer for this movie looked interesting: Some people pull of a heist, and the place they wind up camping out is haunted by demons. Unfortunately, the trailer was misleading. The story is very hard to follow, trying to keep up with who is double crossing who, what role the third party female victims in the house are playing, and who the audience should be rooting for to survive.

On top of that, the sound editing is awful. The background music is too loud and often drowns out the spoken dialogue in the movie. Two more prominent films that are guilty of this are THERE WILL BE BLOOD and DUNKIRK.

This movie is just wrong. It has a story that jumps all over the place, a poorly written script and terrible acting. As a result the movie is hard to follow. In general the characters are irrelevant, unidirectional and have no development throughout the movie. On a positive note some of the special effects are decent. Outside of that there was little to no entertainment value.

The heist premise was fine. It evaporated in the countryside and then I was watching another movie. I was able to trim the viewing time to about 15-20 minutes (or less) by fast forwarding through all the garbage to get a sense of the unremarkable and forgettable story/"plot". You might want consider doing the same.

Well, I stumbled upon the 2021 movie "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" by random chance, and of course I opted to sit down to watch it as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen.

And I had no idea what I was getting into here, as I sat down to watch the movie from writer and director Justin Price. So it is fair to say that I had no expectations, nor any clue what I was in for.

"Wrong Place, Wrong Time" started out well enough, but then settled into a monotonous pace and never recovered from that downward slope.

I am sure that if you have never seen a vampire movie before, then there is some enjoyment to be had by watching "Wrong Place, Wrong Time". But for us that have sat through vampire movies before, then "Wrong Place, Wrong Time" just didn't really cut it. It was just too mundane and slow paced.

The make up and prosthetics in the movie were a bit all over the place, because some of the effects looked rather interesting and good, while others were just an eyesore to look at. Personally, I must say that the make-up department did a good job with the master vampire, because that looked good, though there was no articulation on the face when the actor tried to mumble his dialogue through the latex.

"Wrong Place, Wrong Time" was not a movie that brought me much of any entertainment, though I managed to sit through the entire ordeal. And this is definitely not a movie that I would recommend fans of the vampire genre to rush out to get their hands on or sink their fangs in.

My rating of this 2021 action horror movie from writer and director Justin Price lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
