Recovery

First we had Scream. And then more Scream movies. And then movies like Saw franchise upped the game.

This movie is nowhere near either. Basically takes until the final credits to build up, and the description of the movie is far from accurate. I suppose if I got high, it might make more sense.

From the very flat acting, where character depth was not drawn upon. The plot is flimsy at best. There is more suspense in one of Donald Trumps tweets. The hypersexual teenager that tries to pass with a sweet innocence, the acting is that terrible that it makes the Kardashians Oscar worthy. The pathetic use of technology that was used to prop up the whole film, that for a film in 2016 did not seem authentic. And I guess that's the issue with this film. There is no authenticity.

In the horror franchise, the viewer expects a bit of gore. The viewer expects twists, a shock, a jump in the seat and the electric tingle as the protagonist gets what's coming. Jigsaw did this well. This film, well, did not.

If this is collecting dust at the bottom of the 10 for $1 DVD bin, let it be.
