At the End of Eight

All people cry about anymore is how no one writes anything new and when they do, they don't like it. I loved the premise and honestly, it's a really good movie! For a $2,500 budget, the acting was decent and yes it's very low budget but good story that kept you guessing. It's a lot like don't breathe, another movie I love but has subtle differences. Not understanding the hate at all. A low budget wonder in my humble opinion.

I paid $1.99 to rent this and I overpaid by $1.99 At first it seemed ok because there wasn't much dialogue but once the "actors" started "acting" it went downhill fast. No budget. No talent. Ignorant story. I could see this as a high school film class production at best. I only finished it because I paid for it -had it been free I would have stopped once the "acting" started ugh. Drivel

This movie is so so so bad. It's not even so bad it's good. It's not the typical intentionally corny horror movie that ends up being good. It's just plain bad. I'm not even sure how the average rating is close to 5 stars?

It is written badly. Directed badly. Acted badly.

It is written so horribly that while watching one scene in particular the thought crossed my mind that it looked like an entry for a middle school script contest. In the scene one of the intruders finds a missing person's poster sticking right out of a box. Who on earth bothers to put a missing person's poster in a basement, in a box, but conveniently leaves the bright red "Missing" headline sticking up for all to immediately see?

The plot is everywhere and nowhere. There's a twist at the end that makes no sense and is unnecessary. Where was the director in all of this? Was this person really looking at the script, plot as a whole, and acting and thought "This is great."

My god, the acting was bad from beginning to end. The woman jogging around the neighborhood in the opening scene didnt even do a good job of pretending to jog.

The opening is the only reason I watched it. It was definitely cheesy and short-lived. Seemed amateur and thrown together. While the movie had nothing to do with the popular social media platform, it was.much like the Tiktok "challenges" that have become a thing these days. Maybe that was the point of the movie. To bring awareness and show the very real outcomes that can happen when playing those types of games or in the real world, doing tiktok "challenges" like this. Macbeth was probably the best out of the actors. Much like the movie, my synopsis is short and bland. It had potential of being better I think, but there's not much else I can say to say to hype it up, unfortunately.

This movie's budget was essentially non-existent. I was curious and looked it up.. it said $4500. I don't know if that's true, but if so... wow! They did incredible. There are a couple of scenes that the acting could be a little better (like any movie) but generally it's very good. It's a nice movie all things considered and I think people are being way too hard on it. I wish people wouldn't compare every movie to a $400 million dollar production. It doesn't make a movie bad if they don't have a huge budget. I hope the creators of this film keep going and make more because I thought it was a good film and all involved did a good job! Enjoyed!!
