Bingo Hell

But it just never got here. It caught my interest from the start. The opening was bouncy, with intrigue. Then it opened up too many paths to follow. Then it got soapy and peachy.

Nothing worked after that.

But an all around good movie. Some parts were slow, like when she was putting on lipstick. But what really made this movie was their acting, I still have women like this in my life. The acting was GENUINE! So you could picture a granny being in a situation just like this. Lupita reminded me of my ex mother in law, I still drive her to bingo anytime she wants to go. I love a good horror movie and this was a bad one. It was just not great, I would say it was more of a 6/10. But I could not get over how the two leads reminded me of someone in my life currently.

A heartfelt horror/comedy with a great balance of gruesomeness and character connection. The residents of a small, impoverished, American town are struggling to remember who they once were in a community who has forgotten its true identity. Seduced by a nefarious newcomer, this Faustian story will test the moral fibre of this tribe presenting them with a fight for the very soul of their town.

This struck a note of sincerity based on the authenticity of the well developed characters and the exploration of the every day problems of the real people in America. This has all the ingredients to be a cult horror B-grade classic. A simple yet effectively executed message about people being tested and self-discovery in a light hearted comedy/horror context. Fun yet significant.

Richard Brake is an excellent villain and holy crap the horror bits are awesome! I understand the hate for sure but if you don't take it seriously and just enjoy for being a horror nerd you'd probably enjoy it too. The main old ladies are kinda enjoyable to watch. Some scenes are ridiculous for sure otherwise I really appreciate this weird amazon treat.

No offense to any of the actors in this (mostly at least decent performances), but Richard Brake takes the cake. And if a movie is only as good as its villain ... well this should be way better rated by me I reckon.

That aside (and I have no idea if there is a novel/book this is based on), the movie works on a certain level even if it does seem to be stuck in first gear for most of the running time. So yes there are pacing issues and the social commentary may be hammered home too much ... still you can have some fun with this ... certainly with Richard Brake ... did I mention how great he is in this? Well he is an awesome actor so there is that ...
