Right, well as I sat down to watch the 2015 movie "Illusions", I had checked it out on IMDb, as I wasn't familiar with the movie at all prior to getting to watch it. And it being a horror thriller definitely had my interest peaked. So of course I took a chance and sat down to watch "Illusions".
But just to break any illusions of this being an outstanding movie, take heed, because this is by no account a grand movie. It felt amateurish at best, like something you could make yourself with a proper HD camera at hand. So yeah, I was sorely disappointed with this movie.
I didn't find much of any enjoyment in the storyline, as it was just too stale and slow paced, with little of any much interest happening as the storyline trotted on in a monotonous pace.
As for the acting in "Illusions", well... Let's just say that you are not in for a grand spectacle of award-nominating performances here. I am sure that the actors and actresses in the movie were putting on good enough performances, but given the limitations of the script and directing, then it wasn't a memorable array of performances.
I found "Illusions" to be way too mundane and bland, offering virtually no entertainment or enjoyment for me. And for a horror thriller, then "Illusions" was just a swing and a miss. There are far better movies out there in the horror thriller genre. Trust me.
My rating of the 2015 movie "Illusions" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
