    Prank(s) gone wrong

    If you are not into reality tv and/or prank shows, you may have to overcome a bit of ... well story plot to be interested or even invested. Then again, almost every movie needs to have some of that. If you can overcome that hurdle there is quite some tension and the movie is nicely told and edited.

    Indulge it and it will be somewhat rewarding. Be offended from the start and you've wasted your time ...

    Good concept

    Started off very enjoyable, but the ending was disappointing. They could have done so much with it! And didn't really tie everything up. All in all, well worth a watch, even if just for the gorgeous church converted house!!

    Suspenseful horror

    Saw this at 2020 Nevermore Horror Film Festival. Although a low budget film, its great orchestral score helped accentuate the suspense. I preferred to know as little as possible about the plot going in, and it certainly kept me guessing about what was going to happen next, and who set this into motion until the finale, which is difficult to do well. So, I won't spoil any of it here either.

    Both good and bad

    Just randomly decided to stream this movie. For an independent film, it definitely grabbed my attention more than normal. I went into it, expecting a really bad movie, but was delightfully surprised that it kept my attention.

    Reflecting on the movie as a whole, it feels like it was struggling to understand its own identity. The plot seemed like copied and pasted good parts from wildly different scary movies. All culminating in a very watchable movie that lacked any sort of cohesion. A storyline that gives ADHD on cocaine vibes.

    Last but not least, the actress makes one dumb face throughout the whole movie, it was unbearable to see.

    I didn't get it!

    Started off reasonably well...got very boring in the middle...and ended with a lot of action. But if I'm honest, I didn't really understand the premise.

    What motivated them all? It just didn't make sense to me.

    You see someone you haven't seen for years, and you just agree to stay at their house for the weekend...without even catching up first?!! Especially considering that they're just starting IVF...you don't go a wacky adventures during IVF!

    For the most part, the cinematography and sound were good, but overall it's a good idea that was poorly executed.

    Could of been so much better.
