Bag of Lies

The movie was cool, it didn't try to be too big for its pants. The characters were portrayed well, albeit a little bit stiff in the first 20 some minutes. After that they seem to be fine. But what I really liked was the soundtrack. Whoever did that probably has a ton of the same 90s Warp Records stuff that I collect.

Overall it was a nice hidden gem on streaming services. I didn't even look at the description before viewing because for so many of those films even that is a waste of effort. Not once was I thinking I should start looking for something else. I wasn't completely enraptured by the ongoings of the film either. It seems to hit a nice stride of entertaining, without trying too hard, and just overall chill.

I was on the edge of my seat! This movie definitely kept me guessing! I was confused as to what was going on to keep her alive, I didn't really figure out what was going on until the end of this movie. The movie was disturbing. The acting was good! Despite the fact it was low budget...there was one part that confused me on a scene where the girl was having a good day & changed her hair appearance in 1 scene. I didn't quite understand how she went from one look to another. Besides that it was sooooo good! This movie would be good for a girls night or a date night! I highly recommend, this was a great watch!

The cast carries this movie. The setting and sets were well done too. Oftentimes with indie work, I find myself too distracted by the acting to make it through the entire show. I watched this to the end with friends. We enjoyed the suspense and sharing what we thought was happening. I'm not the best at reading in between the lines, so had I not been having a fun night with friends, I may have gotten more frustrated with the sometimes confusing progression of the plot. When it comes to the horror genre, I usually choose suspense and thrill before violence and gore, so I liked that aspect. If you're on the fence about watching, I would say, give it a shot!

Let me start the same way I start all my reviews. I love horror movies. I grew up on horror movies since I was a little kid.

Bag of Lies (2024) was not a scary or funny movie. I have tried to watch this movie a few times, but It kept losing my attention.

The acting was not bad. I do not believe it was the actors fault this movie didn't do well.

The story line, the picture, and the excitement were not there.

The beginning of the movie had promise, but it just fell short.

I usually do not give movie reviews less than a five out of ten, but there is no way I can give this one a five, this is why I gave it a four. There are other bad movies that are just not as bad as this one.

I do not recommend this movie at all.

Overlooked the low production quality at first because it seemed like it may have been a unique concept for a movie, but the plot ended up making no sense at all. The writing was not good, and the acting wasn't good either. Not a single jump scare was actually scary.

Music was awful, particularly at a point where the husband is supposed to be listening to something the wife had made and then referred to it as dark and haunting when it was like this weird electronic stuff? It made me and my wife burst out laughing actually. It just didn't fit how he described it at all.

They got pretty repetitive with the whole "oh it's her, it's her-it's not actually her though" bit.

Overall this seemed like a student film. Not worth the time unless you feel like chatting about what's wrong with the movie the entire time.
