The Changed

Granted, I figured that a movie that sounded like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and with Tony Todd on the cast list couldn't be all that bad, right? But while Tony Todd is somewhat of a horror icon, then he does have a lot, and I do mean a lot, of dubious movie titles to his name. So I wasn't exactly harboring much hopes for writers Matt Giannini and Michael Mongillo's 2021 sci-fi thriller "The Changed".

But since I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance, of course I opted to sit down and watch what director Michael Mongillo had to offer with "The Changed".

And it wasn't really a whole lot, let me just tell you that. Yeah, "The Changed" was sort of semi-watchable, but that was about it. Whereas the synopsis sounded interesting enough and lead me to think of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", the reality of "The Changed" was somewhat different. And not in a good way.

The storyline put together by Matt Giannini and Michael Mongillo was just not impressive. The movie was barely sufficiently capable of sustaining a single viewing. I managed to sit through the ordeal, but I wasn't impressed, and not particularly entertained. And not even Tony Todd did anything to lift up the ordeal that is "The Changed".

The acting performances in the movie were, for the most parts, actually fair enough. I was only familiar with Tony Todd of all the performers on the cast list.

Visually then there are no special effects worth mentioning in "The Changed". So don't get your hopes up for being in a for a visually astounding sci-fi thriller. It just ain't happening.

My rating of "The Changed" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

There's a movie I started watching on Tubi a few years back that I made it maybe 10 minutes in and was done. I left my IMDB review on it but can't remember the name. There are some others as well. So, with that being written, I cannot say this is the worst movie I've ever seen.

After browsing through trailers, I found this one and said to myself, finally, my kind of movie. It looked like a pretty good movie. Seeing Tony Todd on the cover (clever move) and in the trailer, I just knew it was gonna be a great movie. It was also genred as horror. Well, to my not so shocked surprise, it was neither of those things. I'm not going to say too much more. There are enough comments before me that express my sentiments exactly. However, one thing I will say is, Jane I think her name is...that lady who played her and the character herself were absolutely irritating. She got on my everlasting nerve. Kurt was annoying as well. All the characters were typical, blah, blah. No character arch....look, I doubt they were aiming for the an Emmy so you get what you got and it is what it is.

Poor Tony Todd. He should not have to be involved in a stinker like this movie. It is pure amateur (except for Tony). Terrible, boring writing. Nothing happens. The dialogue is comical. Not even gold old Tony can save this amateur snorefest.

The acting is bad. It's shot in bad video. The script is horrendous. I'm not sure if anything could be saved. On second thought, yes, there is: it's only 78 minutes long, which on the other hand, is way too long.

Anyone who rated this film high is probably a part of the production. I am insanely generous to give it a 3 (but I just got some better antidepressants from my shrink). Avoid absolutely. Ab-so-lu-te-ly!

This is the worst movie I have seen in a very long time! I have always liked the body snatcher genre, this is a joke though and you will be left wondering how you will ever get back the time wasted on this garbage. Bad acting, bad direction, lousy story!
