I put this on because I saw Nichole Sakura was in it and I liked her in Superstore. Then I noticed the rest of the cast and kept watching. This show is basically That's So Raven if it was written by Chuck Lorre and Raven was a white Anthropologie model. The whole tone of the first episode is off-putting in that it's extremely sentimental but feels like there's supposed to be a laugh track even though there's not. By no means is this show brilliant in it's writing or acting and Maggie's personality is extremely one dimensional and just that she's hot and has good clothes, but this show is uncomplicated and sweet and I can't stop watching it. I told a friend about it the day I started watching and she can't stop watching it either.

First of all, I cannot stress how much that poster oversells the entire movie. Not even REMOTELY what I thought I was going into. I was hoping for something like 47 Meters Down or The Shallows, maybe even Open Water but with a Lifetime Original Movie budget. This is...far worse. What I got instead was if Sharknado tried to be a serious drama/thriller. But hey, I sat through the entire thing, so it wasn't THAT bad, I suppose, but it was still pretty terrible.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time. I went in not having watched a trailer or reading anything about it because trailers these days give so much away, and I like Cronenberg, so I was down for a sci-fi film with elements of horror. I don't know what I just watched. The first five minutes, my jaw was on the floor and I was ready to leave if it continued like that. It made me expect something along the lines of Mother or Climax. The rest of the movie? Terrible CGI effects, bad acting from Viggo Mortensen, story elements that made zero sense and way too much exposition about the wrong things. This movie came across as incredibly pretentious, it felt like a bunch of half thought out ideas, it tried to be shocking for the sake of it. It seemed like a film an art student made with a small studio budget. One scene looked like it could be a Chemical Brothers music video. This is the first movie I've seen in a long time that's genuinely bad. It's not even so bad it's good, it's just BAD.
