The Changed

Poor Tony Todd. He should not have to be involved in a stinker like this movie. It is pure amateur (except for Tony). Terrible, boring writing. Nothing happens. The dialogue is comical. Not even gold old Tony can save this amateur snorefest.

I don't usually write reviews for movies but when I saw the trailer for this movie I thought it was going to be so cool. Truly this was the worst movie I have ever seen - at least that I can remember.

Low budget doesn't even excuse the poor cinematography and terrible acting. Kim was probably the worst of them all though. She was so awkward, I don't know what they were thinking casting her. Honestly though, they were all terrible actors.

The movie was legitimately painful to watch. The odd camera angles were so bothersome to me. I kept thinking MOVE THE CAMERA. I don't usually even notice this kind of stuff in movies but it was THAT bad to me. The way this movie was filmed literally irritated me. I was getting fidgety watching the movie.. I just wanted it to end. If I were watching it alone, I definitely would've turned it off but the person I was with doesn't like cutting movies short.

The concept itself was alright I guess, but the storyline was terrible. It was just plain boring. There was no real buildup, the ending was so dumb and none of the characters were likable at all. I don't think I could find one good thing about the movie other than the general concept.

Definitely would NOT recommend watching this movie. Truly a waste of time.

Everything about this movie was done very poorly. The acting, the script, the lighting, all horrible. Even the horror OG Tony Todd had a horribly boring character to play. Even if you're really bored, you'd be better off watching Nicole Kidman in Invasion. If you don't mind horror, an ultra low budget film done right: It Follows.

Granted, I figured that a movie that sounded like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and with Tony Todd on the cast list couldn't be all that bad, right? But while Tony Todd is somewhat of a horror icon, then he does have a lot, and I do mean a lot, of dubious movie titles to his name. So I wasn't exactly harboring much hopes for writers Matt Giannini and Michael Mongillo's 2021 sci-fi thriller "The Changed".

But since I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance, of course I opted to sit down and watch what director Michael Mongillo had to offer with "The Changed".

And it wasn't really a whole lot, let me just tell you that. Yeah, "The Changed" was sort of semi-watchable, but that was about it. Whereas the synopsis sounded interesting enough and lead me to think of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", the reality of "The Changed" was somewhat different. And not in a good way.

The storyline put together by Matt Giannini and Michael Mongillo was just not impressive. The movie was barely sufficiently capable of sustaining a single viewing. I managed to sit through the ordeal, but I wasn't impressed, and not particularly entertained. And not even Tony Todd did anything to lift up the ordeal that is "The Changed".

The acting performances in the movie were, for the most parts, actually fair enough. I was only familiar with Tony Todd of all the performers on the cast list.

Visually then there are no special effects worth mentioning in "The Changed". So don't get your hopes up for being in a for a visually astounding sci-fi thriller. It just ain't happening.

My rating of "The Changed" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a very long time! I have always liked the body snatcher genre, this is a joke though and you will be left wondering how you will ever get back the time wasted on this garbage. Bad acting, bad direction, lousy story!
