Baby Blue - Assassino em Série

Trying to stay relevant, a group of friends desperate for their big break in the video content-producing industry decide to look into a local true crime case, but the more they investigate the situation the more they come to believe the thought-dead serial killer has targeted them and must stop his rampage.

For the most part, this was a generally decent and enjoyable effort. One of the finer points of this one is the overall setup in place that serves the film incredibly well. The idea of the group being forced into tackling the true crime case to continue their career is clunky but worthwhile enough for this kind of effort, and the backstory featured here of the case involving the fate of the figure they're working with is quite chilling. The exploits at the hotel where the victim lived and bring them into contact with the real nature of the curse and how that continues against the series of ritualistic occurrences ties everything together under the curse. This sets up the rather fun storyline where the supernatural figure starts to insert himself into the group's life and torment them for the resurrection angle that brought him back. The series of interactions with the supernatural figure appearing out of nowhere playing mind games or instructing victims to graphically kill themselves while the rest of the group heads off into a five series of investigative processes on how to stop the curse is all handled quite nicely. It all leads to the twist-laden finale as the participants in league with the killer get introduced and start providing some vicious confrontations with the killer and his targets that allow for some fun gore and action to have some positive aspects. There are some flaws to be had with this one. The biggest drawback to be had here is the troublesome antics of the cursed brother who we're supposed to find funny yet everything he does is lame and unfunny. The jokes and quips about a learning disability aren't an excuse for the type of setup here that goes for some laughably immature and ends up causing more trouble for the group to have to deal with as he is directly responsible for continuing the struggle which makes him hard to like. That's also the cause for the killer who's a completely non-threatening figure with his faux-greaser style, baby-face looks, and goofy motivation that leaves everything incredibly underwhelming which all lowers the film overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, and Brief Nudity.

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.

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) 😐.

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.
