I saw positive reviews about this and I'm even more confused than this movie left me? Bad acting, bad directing, absolutely chaotic and messy plot, too scary for children but definitely not coherent enough for adults. Also, they put on these huge unnatural contact lenses on the lead actress that made her off-putting at best, and scary at worst. Speaking of which, I know most movies cast adults to play teens, but she could not pass as a teen at all, it was actually bothersome to watch. I want to know who thought that this, any part of this, was a good idea, and who (and why?!) reviewed it positively. I rarely experience something so horrid, but I did this time, and if I save one person from going through this mind-numbing, bizarre and all around baffling experience, it'll be worth leaving this review.
Is there another movie with the same name? Hard to believe anyone could rate this more than one. Seems like it was shot by an amateur film maker with a hand camera. Horrible acting, singing, music.
I came nostalgic for the fantasy puppet movies of my youth and was willing to forgive a lot. This film is unforgivable. Possibly the worst I've ever seen. Reminds me of highschool av club made movies. I still dont know what the plot was if there was one so I couldn't write spoilers if i tried. I think someone got a free package of thunder and lighting effects and assumed thats all you need to tie scenes together. The 40 something playing a teen is also weird but hardly worth mentioning with how bad every other detail is. Pure cringe.
Awfully directed! The whole movie is based on a really terrible storyline which hasn't even been properly shown to the viewers . The songs are hideously bad , the scenes have no effort of proper directing. The lighting, videography really isn't up to the level of an fantasy . The effects displayed of the parallel universe dimensions are not at all sequenced together proportionately. The drift of the different dimensions aren't portrayed and co-ordinated quite right at all . The movie looks moreover like straightaway from an horror universe with rather complex fantasy characters which are hard to understand and hard to walk with the story . The animations and Gif-like pictures , vids and funny noises makes the movie more worse .
I should have gone with the negative reviews and passed on this one. The trailer made it look like a Labyrinth-ESC-type movie, so I was super excited to see it. However, very soon after starting the movie, I found that the negative reviews were more true than not. The film was odd and hard to follow, with a huge dash of bad acting. My children (10 & 12) kept glaring over at me because I picked it, and eventually they asked if I would turn it off. Roughly 45 minutes in I decided to just take the L and find a new movie. I wish I could get my money back.
