Odds Are

This has to be the most stupid movie I've ever seen. I was really looking forward to watching this and was HIGHLY disappointed!!!! I hope that the people these events actually happened to had much better sense than the characters.. (COMMON SENSE) ..... Geesh, what a let down

Actually its not as bad as a 1 or two star.

It does tell the story of the murder of Lawrence Mullholland but there isnt really much tension or suspense in the movie and a lot of implausible situations which usually one would ignore as just being a movie but in this case are more noticeable because the movie doesn't really hold your attention after the first 20- minutes!

Contrary to other reviewers the ending was appropriate because it was what happened, you can't tell a true story and then change the end so it suits the narrative but unfortunately the acting was really sub-par from all involved which did not help.

Its an average watch, not great but then again its not as bad as some of the reviewers are making out but if you are looking for a gripping thriller this is not it!

One word can actually sum it up -> "MEH"! Not great, not bad just meh!

I did actually watch the whole thing with zero expectations. Hard to do with horror but otherwise so many end up being disappointing. Even the "based on true events" lure couldn't save this movie! I found myself rolling my eyes and groaning about every ten minutes right from the start. To sum it up, if you enjoy movies where main characters do EVERYTHING WRONG all of the time then you might not hate it. Honestly I'm tempted to rewatch it with bad 80's music because as a horror spoof it might be more entertaining! Lol.

22 minutes in this happens and it sets the tone perfectly. Please allow me to elaborate, a 6ft man has the heart-stopping moment of a stuggle when climbing over a feeble, wooden fence that he can look over without standing on his tippy-toes. I actually caught myself waving my hand at the screen and ranting "What are you doing"?! And that's the LEAST ridiculous things that happens in this film.

Now, I'm not going to complain about the rest of the story or the acting or the blah blah blah.

I'm just saying that it's pretty naff and from now on, I need to find a hobby for my Friday evenings as films like this make me question my very existence.

The film started promising... and stayed promising for a full 20 minutes...that is until they got into the house. Then, it got highly predictable and implausible. The villain didn't feel like a villain, the other characters were dumber than the usual horror flick characters and the promised fear was non-existent. I felt I was watching a bad documentary.

If you're a fan of the genre, watch "Don't Breathe", which is not perfect but much better than this...
