Guess Who

Wow! Just wow! This movie is beautiful!

Michel St-Martin is a master in his craft! The cinematography is simply incredible and I can't wait to see what he does next!

I heard that this movie was shot in only fourteen days! To do something so beautiful and entertaining in just fourteen days is so impressive!

Every shot is masterfully though out. Every scene and every sequence brings tension and fear in my body.

We also have great performances by Keeya and Corteon, the chemistry they add on screen must overlap into real life!

Another big props to director Amelia who directed this story into an entertaining and beautiful movie.

For a Tubi original movie that was free to watch, this was surprisingly good. I won't give away any spoilers, because with a title of "Guess Who", you should know there's going to be surprises along the way but it's best to see this without knowing too much beforehand.

I never heard of Mummering before watching this, but apparently it's been a tradition since the 1800's and is actually a real thing. I'm surprised that a horror flick hasn't been made with this kind of plot until now because a tradition like that just screams for one.

I thought the plot and acting were both good here and the film kept me interested until the end, and I thought the final scenes were pretty intense...(don't worry, no spoilers will be written in this review.)

I especially enjoyed the lead actress who played Kaitlyn and would love to see her in more horror/slasher flicks. I think she has the perfect look to be a great "Scream Queen" actress like Jamie Lee Curtis was back in the day.

I thought she was really good as the innocent girl thrust into a nightmarish situation and felt the actress displayed lots of charm and charisma. I'd love to see her again as the "Final Girl" in more of these types of slasher flicks.

I thought rest of the actors were also good as well as the production quality and pace of the story. If Tubi continues to make more original horror flicks like this, I will continue to watch them. (but then they'll probably start charging us to watch so maybe I shouldn't say that lol) I give this film a solid 8 and recommend especially to other horror/suspense fans. I really enjoyed it.

A trailer park. Interesting. Why have I never seen a horror movie set in a trailer park before? That and the central concept - mummers - help elevate this from the mediocrity it would have been otherwise. The mummers concept is weird to say the least, and it the movie stayed with that instead of going the direction that it ultimately does it would have been much better. As it is, this is an average middle of the road thriller. A slasher that loses its edge halfway in. The performances are decent, actually they're better than the script deserves. I don't do spoilers so I won't go any further with a review other than for free, on Tubi, it's not bad.

I just finished watching this on Tubi. It's about a man coming back home to visit his family, along with his wealthy fiancee. His family is super weird and his hometown takes part in a yearly ritual night of pranking. As bodies begin to appear, suspicions arise and secrets are laid bare.

Though unoriginal, it would have been okay as long as the film was made competently. Poorly made with below average acting, non existent cinematography, a lousy script and almost nothing of value beyond 2 decent kills.

It just makes zero sense and just continues to spiral out of control, completely blowing apart in the last act. None of the plot twists make even a little bit of sense. It's almost as if if the first half and last half were two different movies. The first half being a slasher and the 2nd being weird familial drama.

It was a major waste of time and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Visiting his family for the holidays, a couple not only looking to celebrate their current engagement but also to partake in a long-standing community tradition known as Mummer's Day but when she starts to believe the celebrations are hiding something more devious tries to get away before it affects her.

This was a highly enjoyable effort. One of the finest aspects here is the incredibly solid setup that provides this with a fun central storyline to play out. The main focus is on the game they play in the community which seems like the kind of feature that a group of people would bring up and bring up with those around them including the need for dressing up, the ceremonial masks, and the joke that sets everything in motion that all comes together into a solid enough feature here. That this is brought up in the middle of a solid secondary storyline where his return to the family and the cordial unease felt where he still feels guilty for leaving and having access to money through her that no one else in the community can match makes for a great time as he tries to make amends while they poke at him for it but not outright demand access to funds. This keeps them firmly likable while still creating a bit of a strain on everything which is the perfect tone here. This also allows the more traditional genre setups to emerge rather nicely here. The fact that everyone is there wearing masks and wandering around in disguises as the point for the whole experience is lamp-shaded nicely when she points out the potential for a maniac to take advantage of it all to do something and get away with it, which then turns into the films' scenes of the killer wandering through the celebrations unaware. Assuming that there's something wrong but not sure who it is due to a series of pranks instead of the real culprit, there's a nice bit of suspense generated here with the strange figure going around dealing out some brutal and graphic deaths that are handled rather nicely. As the finale features a series of twists and counterreveals for what's going on that takes things into a genuinely unexpected direction that has some intriguing action here, these are enough to give this one a lot to like about it. There are some factors here that bring this one down. The main drawback here is the sluggish pacing which keeps much more of a focus on the family relationship and the exploits of the celebrations rather than bring about more of a straightforward slasher effort. This takes until the hour mark to start bringing more of a focus on that matter, where even though there are stalking scenes here with his wandering through the crowd and picking off stragglers nothing happens to build off this kind of setup. That the final half turns into a bizarre kidnapping plot that's quite a bit removed from the kind of stalk-and-slash that this one could've been involving a killer going around the festivities trying to knock off a group of revelers is the other big factor here where it becomes something completely different from the starting point and isn't as interesting as the rest of the material that came before. This twist ends up doing a lot here and holds the film down.
