Nix

Nowadays, there seem to be countless horror films that get the atmosphere right and offer little else. Nix has the opposite problem, while you can give the creators credit for trying to bring a very involved horror story to screen, the movie lacks any atmosphere of horror at all. It isn't scary, suspenseful or interesting in the least. The obvious lack of budget and creativity are missing. So much of great horror depends on the lighting, cinematography and a great score. Horror doesn't take place in broad daylight. The spooky basement isn't spooky in the least. It isn't long before the film becomes insufferable. The worst I can say is, I watched it with a friend who will watch most anything and he asked me to turn it off.

It was like watching a film generated by a very low quality AI, which has been drinking heavily. The story made no sense, the acting was terrible, the dialogue illogical and often irrelevant. At one point the film almost "accidentally" stumbled into something resembling a sensible plot... but then quickly reverts back to ludicrous bad horror movie cliches. Some of the character writing and acting is so bad, that this makes a better comedy than a horror movie. In which case if you are looking for some bewilderment and a few laughs I would recommend giving it a go. Even the ridiculous outro song gave me a chuckle.

I approached this with no real expectations, but the description intrigued me so thought I'd give it a chance. But after 40 minutes I had to give up. This is unusual for me, as I normal will battle through to the bitter end. But the story was going nowhere, the dialogue was stilted, and the plot was just nonsensical. Most of the acting was below par. The story leaps from the initial set up, to 20 years later, but with no warning, and it took me a while to work out what was going on and who was who, now they were grown up. It just proceeded to get more confusing and I completely lost the plot and gave up. Not recommended.

One of the worst plots for a film I've seen in a very verylong time, and I've seen a lot of bad films. At one point we thought it would actually make a good plot and tied up some loose ends..: then went OTT and nothing made sense again.

Started off below average, and within 20 minutes makes no sense at all. Basically no story line, bad acting and laughable rather than scary.

Watched through to the end but more to see what would actually happen as had already invested time and ended up watching like a comedy.

If you want to watch a film that looks like the first AI generated film, go for it. If it was executed better, with a better plot & better acting could have actually been an averagely good 'psychological' film, but unfortunately not.

The only reason this got 2 stars is because for some reason I watched to end. What a waste of 1.5 hours.

The bad: a "thriller" that doesnt thrill. Not one bit. What do I need say more? The whole point of a "thriller" is that I get excited, that I live in great anxiety of what is gonna happen next, that I am shocked by it. None of that. Bummer.

Not any good? It aint a terrible movie, but I would categorize "Nix" as a tv movie, with below average tv movie actors, with a below average script and with below average technical details, like photography and sound.

The movie "Nix" is just going through the motions. I wonder who this movie could best be suited for and I kinda veer to the tv soap audience, because the casual tv soap viewer doesnt mind below average quality at all, they just wanna see a mildly entertaining story...
