User reviews

This "movie" is garbage. But not just garbage, hot garbage served in a dirty ashtray

All of the 9 and 10 reviews appear to be fake. I clicked on nearly a dozen users who gave this a 9 or 10 and they all have ONE review and all the accounts are exactly 2 months old. What a joke.

I assume these are paid for or are from people who were part of the production. If a real human watched this and gave it a 9 or 10, they are either reviewing the wrong movie or they are write fake (probably paid) reviews.

The acting here is bad, like horribly bad. Very wooden and stilted. Like regular everyday people reading unfamiliar text aloud.

There are also some pretty major plot holes like how did the 'bad guys' discover who was doing the catfishing?

I'll admit, I didn't necessarily see the ending coming but I won't spoil it for anyone dying to see this, good luck. It's painful to watch.

The movie is supposed to be about a girl who cat fishes men to buy her gifts in exchange for photos / videos. But that whole part of the movie is almost inconsequential and very thinly explored.

Also, if you're getting ready to buy a gift for some hot girl online, try doing a simple reverse image search and see if someone is sending you stock or stolen photos. You can probably save yourself a lot of money.

I don't understand the people who gave this movie a 10!! The acting alone is like a -10. It was so hard to get past that alone. I'm not even sure I can finish it. It sucks.

Not a terrible idea, but very poorly executed. After a fairly promising opening scene, the tone changes. The acting is wooden, and if the pacing were any slower it would be going backwards!

I've seen worse, but not much.

I looked at the previews and the storyline looked pretty good. Seventeen minutes in I shut it off. The acting is horrible and embarrassing, and I was watching it alone! I don't understand how people kept the movie on. I want my 17 minutes back! 😩

If anyone believed the ratings and watched this based on that, you've been punked. Worst acting ever. The story actually had promise. But it it was just horribly delivered.

I tried. I really tried, but I felt like I was torturing myself by watching this movie. I made it thru maybe 25-30 minutes, and that felt like an eternity. The acting like nails on a chalkboard. I checked out after that 30 minutes.

Hilarious This movie is staged like a serious film, but it is hard to decide which is more amateur, between the beginner High School level acting the inane plot, the bad amateur writing, or just the overall amateur production and direction. I watched all 2 hours of this fake movie wondering when it would develop into something legitimate. Spoiler alert, it never does. This movie if it was a serious attempt at a film, is a complete failure. But it may have a second life as a comedy or a counter example of film making. This is not the worst movie I have ever seen, but it is among the worst five or so.

Yes it is longer than needs to be. Plenty to chop out. Mostly the church scene. Acting not as bad as some say. The lead actress Lilly Leann Wright shows a lot of promise. Her two friends not so much.

It's a INDEPENDENT FILM... what were you expecting? Hollywood production values? I think they did a damn good job. So why are so many people bitter here? Is it because they mention God in the movie? If that's a problem then that is YOUR problem.

Rant Over.

The good: Cinematography above average even really good for a budget that had to be in the six figures if not less. Someone has had some training with lighting and blocking scenes. All fundamentally sound. Even when they do something like breaking the 180 degree rule, they do it in such a way that is impactful. Like when Mrs. Roberts confronts Clara.

Some nice uses of camera movement in a few scenes as a storytelling tool.

Not every scene is a work of art but it's solid camera work for sure.

The plot. I thought it was interesting if not a bit convoluted. You have to pay attention to details. I realize this is difficult for this current generation but there was definitely a story here.

The acting is average. It's not terrible but it's definitely better in some spots than others.

I really liked the ending, the score and the sound design, which was way above average for this kind of film.

The Bad: The dialog is not the best and I think that it makes the actors seem worse than they are. As a writer myself, it's easy to substitute exposition for dialog. So in this sense, yes the film is not the best. The script weighs down a few scenes and makes them feel unnatural. The whole of the film is not like this, however, as towards the middle of the film it felt much more natural but it took a while to get there...which leads me to...

The length of this film. If it had been just 10 minutes shorter then I think more people might stick around longer for the climax. Otherwise, the editing was tight.

Overall:

I liked what they tried to do with this. It's not 100% successful all the time but it had enough to keep my interest and enough intrigue to carry it through. So don't listen to the reviews saying it's "the worst movie ever made." It cleary is not. Watch and decide for yourself.

Had fun watching this one. You can tell the filmmakers put a lot of work into it. It has its shortcomings...mostly on the budget side though they got good production value out of what they had. Some of the shots are beautiful if inconsistent.

If you are too stuck up to give independent films a chance then perhaps you should pass on this one but for me it harkens back to the days of mid 80s cinema. Who doesn't like movies from that era?

The acting is fine. Better than most low-budget productions. In particular, the woman who plays Mrs. Roberts does some nice work here. The actress that plays Clara is also very good for the most part and Kimmy almost steals the movie...until... well that would be telling.

It probably could have used a trim or 2 here and there but I never felt bored with it. Like the movie "Coherence", another good Indie Flick, it all came together by the end and then the length of the whole affair really didn't bother me.

I look forward to seeing what these filmmakers do in the future if they keep it up.

This movie is perfect for the night you need a movie to riff on and is perfect fodder for an MST3k style party. Independent around every corner with iffy directing, hysterical editing, strange line reads, unnecessary montages, and - the worst part of all - completely fictional reviews by, what I assume, are the family of the people involved.

Literally not one person can even remotely act(ESPECIALLY THE TEACHER'S son...OMG AWFUL. How could they not find ONE decent actor out of all these characters?!!? The main characters best friend is supposed to be in HS with her...yet she looks like she is 35...I wanted all the characters to die at the end. If they spent over $1000 making this movie you would never know it...and that would be too much money for this piece of garbage. Anyone that gave this film a score of over 3 is either in the movie using a fake account or friends with someone from this atrocity.

DO NOT WATCH.

Script is poor - meanders and is scattered.

Acting is really poor - definitely feels like first timers or non-actors.

Silver lining is this film make me feel like I could be an actor too!

All the lines seemed stiff and awkward, like everyone was reading from a poorly written script. Even a Lifetime movie puts this to shame. The acting is so basic.

After almost two hours of this boring movie I could not make it to the end so I read the reviews for the spoilers in it to find out who did it because I did not want to go back to it that's how bad it's all irrelevant this movie was. If there was a killer in this movie they failed used him to the advantage of this movie, this movie is a whole bunch of a whole bunch of other things that don't have anything to do with killing or this is not a horror movie. Movie made me feel bad about not reading the Bible often enough. I read other reviews for this movie and a lot of them said that all the acting was bad the only acting I could see that was truly bad was from the Indian girl not a good actress. 129 minutes was way too long and they didn't they didn't need that long such a boring story movie had a good premise but they wasted it.

I saw a review saying it wasn't that bad?!?! Did we watch the same thing? Our 7th grade film project was better than this ridiculous movie. I'm not going to put any spoilers in case some brave soul wants to watch this but I strongly advise you not to waste your time. The acting was beyond horrible, stupid plot and it looks like a school project. One example: Main character is painting a poster board and has a blue paint smear on her left cheek, the very next scene it miraculously moved to her right cheek. It's absurd and I have no clue how this was released for viewers and why it's on my Amazon Prime. I am not exaggerating when I say, I could write a better script, film it better and get better actors and actresses. Don't waste your time.

With a better cast and shorter run time, this may have been a watchable thriller. This main character was not crafty at all (for instance she used her normal email address when she lured catfish victims).

But funny enough the catfish plot was overshadowed by a bunch of randomized scenes of Clara's classmates. Most of the high school cast members had nothing to offer here. I sort of could appreciate the sinister and insane Mrs. Roberts character, she added some horror.

There was too much religious propaganda as well. The movie almost looked promising near the end, but it didn't have enough of an energy level. Skip it.

Poor writing, poor directing, poor continuity and especially poor acting. Very, very poor acting throughout. The movie is also way too long at over 2 excruciating hours. The movie plays like a high school project. Although I suspect some high schools would do a better job. Unfortunately, it's not laughably bad. It's just "I wish I hadn't watched this" bad.

Fisher, a "who dunnit" thriller, does an excellent job at setting a stage with a very diverse crew of young performers and industry pro's who culminate in a believable story of Dogma taken too far. An excellent first outing by Cassie B Productions in conjunction with Maelstrom Films and it does not disappoint.

You can tell everyone involved was recruited for talent and not what they represent which is a very nice change of pace. As such, Fisher does a good job presenting the characters as genuine people just living their lives while being caught up in an unexpected spree of murders and not place holders for personal politics.

Despite the obvious critique of "religious zealotry gone too far" it manages to pull this off without undo denigration of people who live their lives in worship which in my opinion is a very complicated thing to do and the highroad which many AAA production companies intentionally digress from.

Full of smoke and mirrors, Fisher will have you believing one truth only to discover another.

In the end Fisher leaves you satisfied and grateful you stuck around for the final act!

Don't listen to the naysayers. This movie has plenty about it to like. It's a little bit too long and the dialog could be better but it has a great score, so nice shots and a cool payoff... even if a little predictable. I liked it.

This movie could have been so much better if it wasn't for the acting. It was very cringe. It disappoints me because the twist was pretty could but the people cast in this movie were just ehh.

Far too politically correct. I don't need it pushing in my face. Concentrate on story please you're distracting the audience with virtue signalling. I lasted 20 minutes.
