Baby Blue - Assassino em Série

I thought this was fun to watch! And entertaining enough to sustain my attention, draw me in, and engage the horror trivia fan in me. Especially since the film's horror references were right down my alley.

The aesthetic, editing, acting, writing, and pacing all landed pretty well for me. This was impressive quality suspense in some respects, with a pretty consistent uphold, though the genre does blend & vary.

It's a fresh hybrid at a break-neck pace that uses simple and done-before tropes and contrivances with such earnest tribute for storytelling, and quirky acting, that it may suspend your disbelief just enough to enjoy it.

This is a techno-horror film that references films like 'The Ring', while imitating other films like the original asian 'One Missed Call', & a slew of American horror motifs & references.

This is a modern horror vehicle for a horror film less traveled these days. And it even teeters in to comedy and surrealism. It never tries too hard, and the editing is sharp and neat.

The music drew me in, and the plot twists came with a dose of fun and squirmy suspense.

I would definitely recommend to horror fans who are willing to enjoy a wacky thrill ride, not to be scared, but just to test your knowledge of popular horror tropes seldom seen with this kind of fresh and raw audacity.

Won't blow your mind but it's certainly a bit different compared to much of the modern free nap-fuel out there these days especially in this genre. A crazy dark horror comedy with an edge. Thank you Tubi & the creators.

The premise is old, tired, and played out. What truly sucks about it and is its major downfall in my opinion is this annoying, slobbering, caveman looking kid, Cyrus Arnold. Someone never taught him how to swallow his spit and anytime he gets erratic, which is often unfortunately, he starts drooling every where. Also, when he talks, his mouth sounds like it's full of his spit 24/7. Last, he is one ugly dude, hence the caveman reference earlier. So, sucks looking at him, sucks listening to him talk, makes him a weak link.

Aside from that, it's like every other pile of garbage coming out these days with a young/teen leading cast, full of angst and piss and vinegar which keeps the viewer from connecting with the character or giving 2 squirts about what happens to them or if they live or die.

Of course there's the other "admirable" trait the "ask Google" generation oozes, the know everything when really knowing nothing mentality because they are almost solely educated on Google and the internet. Which makes them think they know everything with the ease and speed of merely looking something up on their smartphone for any and all answers which, anyone with half a brain cell knows you can't believe or trust anything on the internet without taking a grain of salt with it, except for the Gen Z/ask Google generation, they take it all in full stride.

So, if these kinda things don't bother you or your just a young reader of this review, feel free to watch this, there's far worse out there trust me, just don't pay to watch it, it's free on Tubi.

It's a clearly low-budgeted little indie horror flick, but they really got the most out of the moderate means. The premise is not that original (a group of not so bright youngsters who want to make it in the world of internet vlogs go on a ghost-hunting trip), it's a bit like Ghostbusters with a camera, or a Scooby-Doo episode without Scooby-Doo. But they still made a pretty decent story of it, with a serious sinister undertone and a creepy atmosphere. The few VFX were convincing enough, it has a good pace, and the acting was fine (although the annoying August character went way over the top!). Just a pity that the actor they used for the killer didn't look in any way as menacing and horrifying as was intended, in spite of covering his face with blood smears; the sunglasses and cigarets made him look almost cute, like some defiant teen.

If anything, the writing was a bit unbalanced. The dead, but still haunting serial killer didn't get any serious background or motives for his acts. The unfortunately killed Hutch seemed to be forgotten by everyone, including the writers, as was the sister of Baby Blue who apparently still hovers in that house (or I missed some clue). Her sudden change of sides from obedient daughter to the savior of the victims came totally out of the blue. And the very last scene in the car impressed as an afterthought of the writers: hey, let's throw in something that we could use for a sequel! But there were some pretty strong scenes too: the blinded guy in the basement looked great, and the whole sequence with the deranged mother from hell and her milk-obsession was absolutely top notch!

This is a cross between Smile, It Follows, The Ring and even Barbarian believe it or not. It's also a combination of tech horror/found footage/reality. It's really unpredictable and well paced, thoroughly enjoyable film!

So for once Tubi puts its hat in the ring for a (probably licensed after finished) movie that's actually good! Yay!

The plot is simple, like many neo-slashers, this is about an entity that kills. For those that haven't seen it THE ENTITY (1981) is fantastic and ahead of it's time.

No spoilers, but the movie is quick paced, funny at parts and the plot is well constructed as well and has some good creepy and scary moments. 6.9/10!

The plot was great. I kind of knew that it would be a good movie because Anthony Turpel was there (and c'mon, look at him). But that suspense was WOW!. It was so hook grabbing that midway I almost forgot about Turpel and just enjoyed the film. I have to say the best part of these movies is the realism they bring compared to big Hollywood movies. They kind of create a documentary/curiosity feel that's never too tense so you can rest easy at night. However, I have never cursed (no pun intended) out so many people while watching a horror movie in my life. I wanted to punch each character in the face or become Baby Blue so that I can make them punch themselves. I really do praise the directors for articulating the best annoying hipster character they could. They deserve a raise. But other than that, really great movie. And there was no sarcasm in this review (literally) 😐.
