At the End of Eight

The concept was there: a contest to sneak into a house and stay there for 8 hours. "I see you" did it well, so they tried too. However, the movie just stumbles along, literally - the characters enter the house and stumble, and hit everything, making as much noise as possible! Oh, no big deal! I'm not surprised they were found. The "twist" raised it to 3 stars but i can't forgive bad audio editting (voice overs made me think this movie was a foreign film), nor the clumsey screen writing where they tried to advance the plot with weak dialog. I appreciate the motives of each character but not enough to like any of them. I was just so disappointed.

All people cry about anymore is how no one writes anything new and when they do, they don't like it. I loved the premise and honestly, it's a really good movie! For a $2,500 budget, the acting was decent and yes it's very low budget but good story that kept you guessing. It's a lot like don't breathe, another movie I love but has subtle differences. Not understanding the hate at all. A low budget wonder in my humble opinion.

The first scene was well done, but unfortunately the movie went downhill from there. The rookie cast and high school direction resulted in laughable moments that were intended to be intense. Giving it three stars for the effort.

This movie's budget was essentially non-existent. I was curious and looked it up.. it said $4500. I don't know if that's true, but if so... wow! They did incredible. There are a couple of scenes that the acting could be a little better (like any movie) but generally it's very good. It's a nice movie all things considered and I think people are being way too hard on it. I wish people wouldn't compare every movie to a $400 million dollar production. It doesn't make a movie bad if they don't have a huge budget. I hope the creators of this film keep going and make more because I thought it was a good film and all involved did a good job! Enjoyed!!

The opening is the only reason I watched it. It was definitely cheesy and short-lived. Seemed amateur and thrown together. While the movie had nothing to do with the popular social media platform, it was.much like the Tiktok "challenges" that have become a thing these days. Maybe that was the point of the movie. To bring awareness and show the very real outcomes that can happen when playing those types of games or in the real world, doing tiktok "challenges" like this. Macbeth was probably the best out of the actors. Much like the movie, my synopsis is short and bland. It had potential of being better I think, but there's not much else I can say to say to hype it up, unfortunately.
