One Must Fall

It tries. It starts out quirky and camp humor horror. Then it turns into sadistic slasher serial evil killer. For no reason. The killer tries to imbue some sort of philosophical element to the purpose, but this is wasted by the comedy start. Then it just gets ugly and stupid.

A nice little slasher movie. To see if your adictive to slashers but nothing special on it. Predictible.

ps: the 10/10 guys... please be serious, your just not credible

As horror it's subpar, as comedy it's poorly written. The acting is below average except for the main girl, she's okay. Concept is pretty good...just the script wasn't very good. The comedy is VERY generic, and due to the writing lacking, that means the comedy is weak as well.

The only thing that could've saved this was to be full horror or full comedy.

As I find myself saying so often lately, this would've been a great concept for a TV show.

One Must Fall suffers from fairly bad writing, directing and acting that isn't exclusive to small budget movies but nonetheless brings down the movie.

Although set in the 80's, the time period itself does not factor into anything, other than perhaps to eliminate mobile phones from the equation, which could have been taken care of in other ways.

Barry Piacente stands out, playing his role quite well, and being surrounded by the other mediocre to outright bad actors makes him stand out even more. The practical effects were good and very well done for a small budget movie. There is some tension, but the movie is ultimately brought down by the aforementioned bad writing and directing, even going so far as to use lines from other movies.

All in all not a movie I would recommend, but director Antonio Pantoja definitely has potential once he gets some more experience under his belt and realises that not many people can pull of writing and directing simultaneously, especially first timers.

What did I just sit through?

"One Must Fall" is listed as a horror comedy on IMDb, but you are in for surprisingly little of both horror and comedy when you sit through this 2018 movie from writer and director Antonio Pantoja.

The storyline was essentially rubbish, and I must admit that I zoned out of it about halfway through. Nothing in the movie appealed to me. But still, I was waiting for the horror and the comedy. In vain, I might add.

The acting in the movie was adequate. I enjoy watching new and unfamiliar faces on the screen, and that was given here in abundance. It was a shame that the actors and actresses virtually had nothing - as in literally nothing - to work with in terms of a proper script and storyline here. I can't really point out any performance as being more memorable than the other, sadly so.

I can't recommend that you spend your time, money or effort on "One Must Fall". Some of us suffered through this rubbish, so you don't have to.

My rating of "One Must Fall" is a generous two out of ten stars, solely based on the production value the movie had. Granted, not every movie is targeted for each and every one in the audience, and "One Must Fall" was definitely not winning me over. This was a massive swing and a miss.
