Caça Invisível

This seems the be the new filmmaking with an absolute minimum of characters and no extras. The rise of the covid-19 safe film. Ok I get it, really I do, but this does not mean the plot needs to keep 6ft from anything interesting as well. If you are no longer relying on big special effects with lots of extras for a film to succeed it has to come from somewhere else.

No character development.

No connections between flashbacks.

No drama.

Simply stupid ending.

There's no new ground here, a bachelor party turns into a slaughter fest, as two brothers, and three friends venture into the wilderness.

I really do like atmosphere and tension as a rule, but this takes it too far, and apart from a few nice scenes, it drags on way too slowly.

The characters are all clichés, we have the family link, the quiet and scared one, the gay one, the cute one, and of course the angry one.

I watched it with friends, and they enjoyed it, I'm afraid I yawned through most of it, just too slow, the major plus point has to be the visuals, it does look very nice, but to reach the end, it's a slog. Worst of all is the embarrassing ending.

Once again I find myself struggling to find a good film on Netflix.

Maybe if it had been condensed down to 60 minutes, it may have worked a little bit better, unfortunately it's too much of a slog, 3/10.

A new German survival thriller on Netflix. The premise is simple: 5 guys on a trip in the jungle got hunted down by a mysterious hunter.

Most of the runtime was these guys running in the woods. The suspense relied on the mystery of the hunter, who was deadly and familiar with the territory. There were some scenes that worked, but for a lot of it I was bored because of how dragged the pacing was. However, I still want to see the justification for all of this.

And this is where the movie became just straight up stupid and nonsensical. In short, nothing paid off. First, there's flashbacks throughout the movie about the main guy. These flashbacks served almost no purpose and didn't change my perceptions on these characters much. They all fell into certain types of characters.

Second, and the most important of all, the reason that they got hunted was bafflingly unjustified that just pissed me off at the end. The final scene was just as random and gave more questions than answers.

Overall, it's almost like this movie exists to waste people's time. I just lost an hour and a half of sleep for this random bs thriller with almost no thrill. 3/10.

Some people in the woods. Something bad happens. They're in peril and don't know why. A few shocks. Paper-thin characters yelling at each other. You've seen this before. The reason behind "the "hunt" is told in the most ridiculous manner. Late in the game, there is a development between two characters that doesn't really get resolved due to what I thought was an abrupt ending. Nice-looking quality to the movie, but you're much better off sticking with THE RITUAL!
