The 6th Friend

This movie is god awful. The acting is sub par. The plot is trite. The deaths are lame. Complete waste of time.

I had a fun time with it, my prewife disagrees. It's dumb but in a good way. Have a laugh and watch!

I enjoy slow burn horror, but this wasn't that. The 6th Friend is a by-the-books paint by number cardboard cutout of a horror movie, and that seems almost intentional. If you have ever seen a horror movie, then you have seen this one. And you can rest assured that what you have already seen was better. It takes dedication and genuine effort to stay awake for the duration of this movie, and sleep is much more entertaining.

This is not the worst film I have ever seen. I would consider it to be a strong contender for the worst film I've seen this decade.

The writing is bad, the acting is worse, and the camera-work is nauseatingly wobbly. It might be intended to feel organic, like we're watching through someone's eyes, but if that's the case the 'camera/person' is very short and dangerously drunk.

Absolutely every one of the main cast feels wooden and unconvincing. They deliver lines in ways that would make a high school drama coach despair. Seriously. I have seen school plays with better acting.

The lighting and sound are clear and the director of photography has framed a lot of the shots normally. The editing is mediocre, but serviceable. The plot is a mash-up of several horror tropes, which is fine, but I cannot tell if the dialogue or overall direction is the worst thing about this.

Not sure how this has got 10/10 and 8/10. There is nothing scary nor jumpy about this, and the Killers identity is very evident. The Plot is weak as is the dialogue. One reviewer claimed is was a Supernatural Slasher film - there is absolutely nothing supernatural in this. Just a run-of-the-mill slasher film with nothing new .... my true rating would be 3.5 as i am feeling generous
