The Dead Thing

This movie sucked. I heard good things, and was very disappointed. Its a romance movie. Basically 50 first dates without the laughs. I felt like I was dosed with acid and wanted to pull my hair out the entire watch. Had to turn it off about half way through. There is literally a scene when a ghost is slapping someone, that's about as scary as it gets. I was waiting for something to happen, but nothing did happen. Watching a bean burrito melt in the microwave for 90 minutes would have been a better watch. Alas, I didn't have a bean burrito to obliterate, only my mind was obliterated by this poor watch, like I did to my toilet later that evening.

No pun intended - the main character is barely living ... there is not much happening for her except for job, sleep and ... well hooking up. Not shaming her and you shouldn't either - you could say that she lacks emotion, she lacks connection ... so there is a hole that she needs to fill (get your mind out of the gutter, talking soul of course) ... finding someone who is able to do just that is not going to be easy.

Of course the one she does seem to find ... well there is a reason she connects to him. If you are not aware of the story or have read any synopsis, I will not tell you more. I can tell you that she gets clingy, which seems to go against what we learned about her ... but stick with it and it will make sense.

There are other flaws (story and character wise, with some twists either being predictable or not really playing out the best way they could) ... but overall this is more than decent ... fair warning this gets quite sexual - including nudity! Just know this (whatever you make of it is yours)

This movie has a fairly interesting-looking poster that definitely caught my attention. I'm a huge horror movie fan, and the vague plot description made me curious. We follow a young woman who lacks emotion and connection in her life and, as a result, keeps hooking up with men she finds on dating apps. Through her sex-positive lifestyle, she meets a charismatic and sensitive man who hides a dark secret that turns into a dangerous obsession.

Unfortunately, the movie doesn't really offer much for the audience to enjoy. We follow our lead character, played by Katherine Hughes, through her daily life, which is not particularly engaging. Most of her dates are dull and end with predictable sex scenes. The one potentially interesting element is the mysterious man, but even his character is never fully developed, and we don't get many answers about him.

Our main character is also not very likable, which makes it hard to root for her or stay invested in her story, even though Hughes gives a good performance. The movie needed something compelling to happen in order to make it enjoyable or memorable. There are no real horror elements, and the mystery is never properly explored. Her relationship with her coworkers had potential but remains underdeveloped and uninteresting. A few comedic moments could have improved the pacing or at least offered something entertaining for the viewer.

Instead, the film just plays out in a flat and unsatisfying way. Some people might find enjoyment in it, but I struggled to stay awake and definitely can't recommend it. [3.5/10]

Dead Thing, did not watch the trailer because telling myself that, If I did not watch the trailer maybe some good coming out of this film, wsll there is some good and some bad, the goods is that Valentines is over, looking for the right person to be with whenever is a alive or dead, it can be anyone from just a dating website like eharmony. They went with an app that's similar to Tinder. The Erotic thriller is making my slong hard like I have to take a puff cloud. The bad part it wasn't the plot, cast did a fine job, characters were on & off. The main problem is that there should be more violence in the movie like blood like "The Monkey" instead is very mild all I see is a dead man's dead corpse by the reflection. It maybe a dislike but I just wish the Kills were more severe instead of a chokehold, I am just saying there's that in the future experiences that's all. I wanna say the score is good but It's a 4.9/10 is near close to a 5 was not intense but there is decent camera shots in the movie that I did appreciate myself.

This was just not my type of movie. It was a very slow, artsy, horror adjacent film. It was never scary or particularly interesting.

It reminded me a little bit of Alex Garland's Men. It was a "message movie" and I suspect it was trying to say something about hookups, intimacy, and toxic relationships. But I really lost interest by the end, so the main message was lost on me.

I caught this one for free on streaming today, so I'm glad I didn't pay for it. I would recommend waiting until you can catch it for free on one of your services. It's on Shudder right now.

You might end up liking it if films like Saint Maud and Men are enjoyable to you. But this one wasn't quite as good as either of those.
