Villains

Was expecting great things after the trailer. The storyline was good and there was some fun along the way but the script was lacking any real spark and there weren't many memorable moments.

Worth a watch if your bored.

I really like Maika, everything she is in is quirky and fun (THE GUEST, was awesome). The male lead was also great, as were the "evil" couple. The acting was so on point, and everyone was incredibly likeable, I think they made the film better than it otherwise would've been!

With that said, the plot is kinda wonky, and it's nothing you haven't seen 100x it's kinda the typical, "outlaws stumble upon a dangerous abode" type film.

As much as I'm not a comedy fan really, if this was a straight up comedy, it would've been AMAZING!! But...it's actually a crime/horror/drama/comedy. I believe it tried to be so much that it never really decided what to be. The beginning was light hearted and funny, the middle was a bit odd, but tries to be serious, and the final act it gets super dark out of no where.

It's one of those movies that you're glad you saw but probably won't watch again. I liked it, I wanted to love it.

Find myself saying this fairly often, but this too would've been a fantastic TV show.

"It never got weird enough for me." Villains is not a bad film, nor is it one I regret watching. It is brisk, quirky, and without any offensively glaring issues other than it plays it safe. This little genre film had potential in regards to all aspects of filmmaking (the writing, direction, acting, etc.) but it also had an air of reserve that suggests inexperience. Villains is so concerned with going down easy for the mainstream that it never attempts to be anything past standard. I wanted to love this film in the way I love Funny Games, Bound, and virtually everything by John Waters, but instead I find myself going back to one word when someone asks me to describe Villains... "meh."

When you're watching a movie, you know it is not so good when it fails to go into an interesting direction and at the same time your mind comes up with so many other directions in which the movie could've gone. That is the kind of feeling you get while watching Villains. It had a good premise. But fails to develop that premise properly.

It had some inklings of developing the characters, but no. It doesn't fully develop any of the characters.

It had some comedy moments. But then it never fully uses that potential.

By the end of the movie, I didn't care about any of the characters at all. I didn't care about where the story went.

The acting was good. But that was not enough to keep me interested.

It's got action, it's got horror, it's got romance, it's got comedy. Villains is a pretty good package, overall. I really like what was going on here. It's never boring always amusing and the story just kept evolving though out until the end. Great!
