Don't Turn Out the Lights

Much like everybody else bashing this movie, I will too. All for the same reason. Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE acting.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if I never see any of these actors in any other movies.

The most annoying characters I've ever seen in a movie.

And overly long sections of nonstop screaming. That got old really fast, and kept on going and going throughout the movie. Yes, it's a horror, but still. They were all screaming from the beginning of the movie before anything happened.

I spent the whole movie hoping they'd all get killed off just so they'd shut up.

The movie should have been titled "Please Turn Off the Screaming".

This could have been so much better. It's your typical group of friends on a trip storyline but the premise and what happens to them, had it been handled properly, could have created a genuinely creepy story.

Unfortunately the cast of characters are such a loud, brash, dumb and unlikeable bunch of stereotypes that you just don't care what happens to them.

As for the amount of screaming and shouting, it was incessant. 80% of the film sounded like white noise because of it. Someone dragging their nails down a blackboard would have been more pleasant. As each person was, predictably, picked off it was a relief because there was one less unlikeable person screaming.

I wasn't expecting much when I decided to watch this movie: just wanted a watchable standard horror. The movie starts off typical for a horror movie. A group of friends get together to attend some festival, they get lost, and then strange events occur when they're unexplainably stranded in the middle of nowhere . The concept seemed fine at first, so I figured I'd be in for at least a decent 90 mins

The movie is unwatchable though. The acting from everyone is awful and cringy. And the characters are not likable. Their jokes (eg the "Screw Marry Kill" game) and behavior (eg drugs) make them appear more annoying than charming. The only likable character is the ex-Marine, who unfortunately doesn't stay long. Instead, we get stuck with the girls who keep screaming and arguing like divas to the point where I, as a viewer, couldn't get behind them and root for them. When strange events start happening, the ladies go on and on about "hey, maybe this is all a prank" to the point where I wondered why they would make our protagonists so dumb.

School friends reunite for a birthday outing to a music festival. One of them brings his new roommate who is a Marine. They are driving an RV. They get harassed by a couple of trucker creeps who push them onto a side road. They get lost and then stopped in the middle of nowhere.

I like the start. I like adding a newcomer to this annoying group. That has potential to stir things up. The two trucker creeps are standard. It's a nice way to strand the group in the middle of nowhere and the countdown to festival forces them to keep going. For a low-budget horror, it's fine.

When the RV stops, the movie starts on a long descent. The story just throws a lot of non-sense horror tropes at this thing. Some of it is at cross-purposes. None of this is particularly interesting. It is just one victim after another. The movie is throwing everything and the kitchen sink at this plot. It gets tiresome.

Couldn't get past the constant obnoxious yelling and the insincere acting. Turned it off after 25 min.

It seems like they tried to do the typical group of friends go off to celebrate a weekend and get killed one by one but the characters are so loud and obnoxious that we just couldn't watch anymore.

Also the music is too loud and obnoxious and just doesn't fit with certain scenes.

I really wish we could've gotten through the movie because the movie cover and trailer seemed like it would've been really good.

I would've liked to see the characters slow down, be sincere and take the role seriously (loud and aggressive does not mean you're doing it right).
