This movie is... unbelievably bad. I watch a ton of horror movies. The majority are disappointing but entertaining enough with some redeeming qualities. This movie has 0 redeeming qualities. Extremely poor performances, writing, direction, practical effects, dialogue, etc.
In movies, there are so many elements that can be used to tell a story. Not a single one is used advantageously here. It's very possible to tell a story with very little dialogue. Think of A Quiet Place. That movie obviously had much better resources to work with, of course, but still. It used other visual elements to tell you who the characters are, what they're thinking, what they want, what they fear, and why you should care about them. The dialogue that IS present in this movie is so amateur and one dimensional. It feels like the writers need to learn how to write a story before they try to make a movie.
Sometimes, bad movies are fun because they're goofy or campy. This movie was just cringey. I very nearly turned it off in the last 20 minutes, but decided to stick it out instead. I wish I got some kind of reward from the filmmakers for doing so.
Respect to all who worked on it, because it's hard to do regardless, and it's brave to pursue your vision & open yourself to critique. But man, this may be the worst movie I've ever watched.
