The Nameless Days

In fact, it's pretty okay for a low-budget, no-star horror film - with some decent acting and cinematography - but it lacks narrative punch (most evident in the lacklustre ending).

Well, no wonder that the days were nameless, because the 2022 horror mystery "The Nameless Days" was a massive swing and a miss from writers and directors Andrew Mecham and Matthew Whedon.

Sure, when I sat down to watch "The Nameless Days" it was without knowing anything about the movie, aside from it being a horror movie. I found the movie's cover/poster to be interesting, and since it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.

But the storyline in "The Nameless Days" was just bland and downright boring. I actually drifted off to sleep twice during the monotonous and pointless narrative that moved with the speed of snails. So yeah, you're not exactly in for a grand moment in horror cinema with this movie.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate. Not great mind you, but not bad either. So at least the movie had that working for it. I wasn't familiar with the cast here, which I usually enjoy when watching movies, but the cast in "The Nameless Days" literally had nothing to work with.

Visually then "The Nameless Days" was bland. Again, you're not in for a grand cinematic experience in the horror genre, should you opt to sit down and watch this movie.

My rating of "The Nameless Days" lands on a two out of ten stars. This is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us did suffer through the ordeal so you don't have to.

I notice more movies being low-rated here than years ago. Watching movies & listening to music are my favortie forms of entertainment. But it seems like most people commenting on movies here these days, actually don't like movies. They seem to expect every movie to be on the level of Marvel or DC, unless Nicolas Cage stars. Then it can be as idiotic as the WWE and reality TV. Is it those 4 years of Trump, or these years with the CCP virus that infected so many people's ability to enjoy anything. One ridiculous comment about this movie mentions the bland landscape, apparently so out of touch with the world that they forgot that life happens in ugly places as well as the beautiful vistas of New Zealand.

The Nameless Days has flaws, but none that would take away a normal horror movie fan's enjoyment. To us, it wasn't a waste. Fans of low-budget horror movies of the past, that TCM recognizes as horror classics should be able to appreciate this fun little supernatural horror. For the wannabe Roger Eberts, no this, your idol was a wannabe director who flopped at movie-making, so like so many UK musicians who failed became the harshest music critics, Rog became a movie critic, critiquing what he couldn't accomplish. I always preferred Gene Siskel, & watched mainly to see extra scenes from movies not shown in the trailers.

I was weaned on scary movies. Dracula, The Mummy, Frankenstein. Stories that creeped into your dreams, but not so gory as to traumatize anyone. I guess the blood, guts and gore has a place, but I still prefer a story. This story worked for me. I'm glad that I ignored the naysayers.

There is nothing really too wrong with this film apart from that it is so drawn out and boring.

Everything is average. It's not the kind of really bad film you sometimes get, where it looks amateurish. No, it looked ok, the actors were ok, the camera work was ok. Everything was ok and was a perfect ground for something chilling. However it never happened.

A lot of darkness and running from the monster. Personally I am mostly bored at the moment in any film when they just seem to run away and are chased by whatever. This film was almost the whole time just running and hiding, and that was very boring.

I gave it a 3 because it wasn't an insult like some films. The actors deserved that much. They were likeable but boring.

This is not going to hold anyone's attention and nothing exciting ever happens. Even what should be exciting is boring.

If you want a background movie for chatting with friends, this is kind of ideal. It will never grab the attention of anyone in the room away from your chatting, and yet you can have some moving images on, like a fireplace.
