The Return

There are supposed supernatural elements, science/mathematics, and possible mental illness. The main character is a bit wooden and the female friend is too obnoxious. Mix in an unethical psychiatrist and bad plot lines, this was a confusing movie that simply wrapped it up with a solution but no resolution.

I sat down to watch the 2020 sci-fi thriller "The Return" here in 2021, without ever having heard about the movie, so I wasn't sure what to expect.

And now that the movie ended, I will say that writers Ken Janssens and BJ Verot actually managed to compile a wholesome script that proved interesting and entertaining.

The movie does manage to combine elements of horror and sci-fi in a rather interesting and entertaining manner. And I do admit that I like the storyline and the way that the writers managed to mix together the two elements for a wholesome story.

Visually then "The Return" is fairly good. Now, the movie is not one that relies heavily on special effects, well aside from the apparition, of course. But they managed to pull it off well enough, and definitely added something good to the overall movie experience.

Richard Harmon (playing Rodger) and Echo Andersson (playing Jordan) were really nicely cast for their roles and they carried the movie quite well with their performances.

If you sit down to watch "The Return" and expect it to be a scary movie, then you will be disappointed. Nay, "The Return" is a light sci-fi movie with elements of thriller and horror to it. Nothing overly scary about director BJ Verot's 2020 movie actually.

I enjoyed the movie from start to end, and it is a movie that actually is well worth taking the time to sit down and watch. I am rating "The Return" a six out of ten stars.

It's mostly horror and sci-fi movies, but there are many colorful scenes. There's also a little romance. It's a B-movie that makes you a little nervous, but it's a decent film at the level of a B-movie.

I really love Richard Harmon and hate it that he's in such sucky movies. Does he know they're bad? Does he need a new agent? ...................................

If you are going to cast someone who is clearly 30 years old playing a young college student, know that it will bother the majority of us. If you want the older actor so much make the character older. Otherwise we will be annoyed for much of the plot. As for the film, pretty boring, and pushing it's thrills down our throats.
