    I liked this until the end

    I was enjoying this until the last ten minutes or so when it seemed that the script ended too soon and someone had to jump in and finish the movie at whatever cost to what went on before...

    I was not a big fan of It Follows, didn't really care for the entire concept of the movie once the initial theme was established, so while I can agree that this is reminiscent of that film, Don't Look Away also has its own lore and its own strange engulfing vibe that kept going all through the film until the unfortunate ending.

    I could think of several ways this could have ended, but the ending that was settled on really felt totally out of place with the rest of the film.

    A nice try - I hope

    The second I laid eyes on what the movie is about I immediately thought about SCP foundation. You know the one. They have a wiki with a lot of crazy and creepy stuff. It was an okay-ish try to make something out of the concept, if that was intended. If not, this is a sorry excuse and a rip off. A bad rip off. I want to think that it was thought out to use the concept in good intentions. Cause SCP's are creepy. This was not creepy.. at all. The actors where actually good, and made a good effort. But over all I didn't like this. I don't regret watching it though. It's a good Monday evening brain collapsing watch if you are bored. But I will never recommend it to anyone, and I will never watch it again.

    Worst movie I think I've ever seen

    I honestly don't know how this movie got approved to be produced. From the horrible writing to the atrocious acting... This is by far the worst movie ever. I'm watching it on Prime, but from my understanding this was released in theaters.... There is no way I'd pay to watch this. It's a Sunday in the summer, no football so I decided to watch a horror movie. This is not a horror movie, I think anybody could've made a better plot & gotten better actors. Please don't waste your time with this movie.... It's a waste of existence, if I can rate this movie it would be a negative star... After watching this I believe I can become an writer & sell my movie...

    the Horror was watching it!

    Thought it was really stupid, in fact I feel like the filmmakers were hoping i was stupider than the movie so that i would not notice how much it made no sense. The only thing the filmmakers got going for them is that somehow, they got this released in a movie theatre. That's impressive, its attempts to mimic a giallo-styled slasher film of the 70s and 80s just made it more garbage as I was expecting something cool and unique, but the artist went over my head. Although based on the bad ADR it could have been this film did not have the money needed to be good. I give it credit that the "Slasher" was creepy...at first but not creepy enough to justify the badness of it all.

    A Film Doomed By It's Idiotic Premise.

    The acting here is decent.

    The production quality is good.

    But you can't get over how stupid the premise, itself, is.

    It's supposed to be "like a creepypasta come to life", as one of the characters puts it.

    Unfortunately, the story they chose to run with is so implausibly absurd, that it's hard to remain engaged with it.

    Let alone take it seriously.

    Because the killer here is a mannequin that kills anyone who dares look away from it...hence the title of the film.

    It might have been a concept that worked, if it were done better.

    However, as it stands...it's just not interesting in the slightest.

    One of the problems with it is that there are too many characters.

    None of which are properly developed...so you don't care about any of them.

    Which is why each death ends up being even more anti-climactic than the one that came before it.

    Leaving you to sit through one lackluster, and pointless, kill after another...hoping it will end sooner than later.

    Because the kills aren't cool.

    There's virtually no gore.

    And the mannequin is kind of dumb looking.

    Which makes you wonder exactly what they are trying achieve with it...other than to alienate those who chose to dedicate their time to watch it.

    Because the plot is so brutally bad.

    You simply lose interest in it by the time you reach the halfway point of the film.

    After the introduction...I really thought this was going to be cool.

    But it was all downhill from there...

    ...straight to the bottom of the barrel.

    So don't fall for the clever marketing.

    Because this film sucks.

    Do yourself the favour of passing this one by.

    So you don't waste an hour and a half on it like I did.

    2 out of 10.
