The Reading

So this movie is not one to put on to fall asleep. It will keep you entertained to say the least. Def worth a watch worse case scenario you'll have something to talk about at the end and Monique is always a good watch. She was kinda corny at the end but ultimately I'd recommend. Especially if you have nothing else to watch. Oh lord so apparently I need more words..... soooo okay! Obviously if you can't tell l'm not a bot lol so watch the movie, enjoy and my goodness who knew I'd have to right 600 words just to leave a dang review. I guess I have to say last but not least ignore the bad reviews, Im not sure which movie they watched.

Just finished watching this movie and I am glad Monique has returned to the movie screen collaborating with Lee Daniels again. Unfortunately, this isn't necessarily what I wanted to for Monique as her comeback film. The movie's strengths are the super natural aspects & Monique's performance. That was quickly replaced by a confusing plot twist, sub par acting from other actors, non sensical sub plots, and pacing issues that caused me to yawn several times over! Monique's performance is scary at times and near comedic especially towards the end. I had subscribed to BET Plus to watch this, but quickly unsubscribed after it was over. This was a good bad movie...

This film was AMAZING! I Watched it several times!!! Courtney Glaude , the cast, crew did an amazing job! Loved it! Monique was very good in this! Everyone needs to go watch it!!!! Good Job !

My favorite part was at the table, the way she sat there and had that reading and didnt even realize what was about to happen. She did a 360 and it definitely was the highlight of the film! These kinds of films are what's needed in the film industry! I really hope they do a part 2 so we will know what's to come. I'm looking forward to see what Courtney comes up with next! Love it! Such an amazing creator/director.

Do not listen to other people spouting negativity. This movie is chilling, and Monique is absolutely at her best.. a true exercise in madness...... she truly proves why she is such an excellent and beguiling actress, and is deserving of her academy award... with a twist you will not be ready for... she plays a wife who is whole family gets murdered before her eyes....

Wow, the production budget is obviously low. The Director makes the most of his film.... This movie is slow burn at its best... you truly cannot take your eyes off the characters or the screen for fear you're going to miss something....

Watching this movie made me wish I had attended film school, just so I could have the technical knowledge to effectively explain all the things that are wrong. The more I watched, the more confused I was. I was being generous when I gave it four stars. The acting and dialogue were ineffective. I do not understand the Emma character. She was confusing and near the end she was just all over the place.

There are so many holes in the script and so many questions throughout, that I'm unable to decide what the end really meant.

I want to walk away from a movie feeling like it was either completely believable or such a fantastic story that I'm willing to believe it because it was so well done - like The Sixth Sense. This was neither. I walked away from the movie asking why seasoned industry professionals put their names on this. And in the final credits...why was Monique credited three times for the same character? I don't even want to guess.

Watch this movie if you're a serious film student looking for a movie that is full of issues and things to not do when making a film. If you're a regular person, just find something else to watch...unless you enjoy train wrecks and dumpster fires.
