Sick

This was just a mediocre slasher movie with hardly any edge-of-the-seat moments. It was another COVID themed movie. I've seen a couple of others but they were quarantine themed.

Once in a while I come across a movie where I despised the protagonist and felt no sympathy towards them whatsoever. This was another one of those movies.

In this instance it was Parker that I despised. She was careless, promiscuous and very much self-centred. I felt sorry for Miri who suffered simply for being there with Parker. I felt sorry for DJ and Mr. Lyons who basically died because of Parker.

I felt sorry for Pamela and her husband and could understand why they were doing what they did. Simple revenge for their son's death because of COVID which they believed Parker was the one that infected their son at the party.

Anyway this was just an average movie which is surprising for Blumhouse because they usually produce some really decent movies.

Parker and her best friend take off to her family's secluded second home to quarantine during the rise of the COVID 19 pandemic, but a stalker has followed them there, and a Nightmare scenario begins.

The trailer really interested me, I'm intrigued by people's views and actions in regards to the pandemic, and I love a good slasher movie, the result was a competent and quite exciting mix.

Really interesting to consider who's side you're on, I won't give Nothing away, but by the end, you may well question if you're on Parker's side of not.

It's not heavy on the politics, they don't push a narrative either way, Covid plays a part, but it's just the backdrop for the situation.

Competently acted and visually pretty good, there are definitely a few thrills and spills along the way, it certainly opens with an audience grabbing scene.

This was pretty good.

7/10.

There are some movies you know 5 minutes going into it that it's going to be worth the while. This was such a movie. The beginning was suspenseful out of the gate and had me looking away. Great action, scary, decent acting and the kind of slasher that I would gladly see a sequel of. It had me jump several times and was just generally creepy. It actually had a similar feel to Scream which I love. It had also a sense of realism that this could actually happen that I appreciated. The characters actually did semi-intelligent things as opposed to just plain stupid decisions. It didn't insult the viewers intelligence. Finally I really liked the homage to the whole period of lock down COVID. There were a few parts that actually had me laughing because of how ridiculous and paranoid the first days of lockdown were for people. They need to make more slashers like this that are truly scary from beginning to end. Keep them coming!

Director Hyams creates a few tense moments that blends with righteous thoughts and bloody entertainer.... Oddly manages a clear winner that easily survives on the grounds of pandemic catastrophy.... Short & sweet runtime ensures a pure slasher thriller with vibrant lighting in the dark ambience,camera work is a major asset in holding audience live until the end... Early scenes does have an impact on our minds on facing the reality check like shortage of toilet papers and refusing to assist some one an deadly situations on pandemic times raising a human values rare existence... Overall a unique slasher thriller that needs a attention.

This movie is low key brilliant. Saw this to "celebrate" Friday the 13th.

First of all, the title itself. Once you watch, you'll know what I mean. Secondly, it's the perfect time for this to release.

Given what happened with the pandemic and all, it was a genius movie on their end to make this up. They took advantage of what was going on in society and mixed it in with a Scream like atmosphere. Simple yet brilliant.

Some of the scenes in this were downright hilarious. It's very, very subtle, but if you're paying attention, you will laugh for sure (or at least roll your eyes).

I didn't expect the film to have the twist that it had. You wouldn't expect that at all, kudos yet again for taking advantage of the pandemic.

I would have liked more death scenes, but given how the story played out, wouldn't make much sense to have more. The few death scenes that they had were pretty interesting.

This is a solid watch, I would recommend it.

This gets a LennyReviewz Score of: 7/10.
