Simon

The movie was all but urban, very low quality and clearly made on low budget. Everything seemed to just happen so quickly yet so slowly (get what I mean?). It had an unusually dull mood and was quite predictable at times.

The 'horrific' moments seemed rather unconvincing and quite childish. Very simplistic. It doesn't get the viewer to fully understand and (perhaps) sympathize with the killer's actions.

It wasn't all bad though. In fact, overall the ideas were pretty good. I especially saw the ending quite interesting but still felt like it was one of those endings in which the director of the movie feels he/she failed viewers throughout the movie and decides to make up for it in the end.

It had a great environment and gave a feel of the regular neighborhood in England. However, ask me how I found this movie on a usual day, and the quickest answer I'd give you would probably come with the 'S' word.

I am a Brit watching a British Movie.

Ok...so imagine some college students who have been given a week to put a film together as part of their A Level drama. They get hold of a cheap camera which is sort of an upgrade from a standard video camera but have to use their phones for most of it. They don't have an editor so one of them talks their younger brother into "Giving it a shot", in exchange for being allowed to borrow their PS5.

Then they need a cast. No one is available so they have to do it themselves. There is an issue as they need adults too so they talk the head to physics which is close to retirement but is happy to "Give it a bash".

They realize that their acting skills have reached the level of a semi interested but half asleep sloth as they have wasted most of the year going to raves but it's all they have so they go for it anyway.

Ok, so they are ready to go but by the time they have organized all this, they only have 2 days left to make the film. Everyone has lost interest, including the brother who takes 30 minutes to edit as he is now fully engaged with the new PS5 game. Using some free download to edit, he quickly knocks it together.

And there you have it......Simon.... Enjoy.

I watched it right to the end 😭 Please don't waste any time on this. Netflix owes me 85 minutes of my life back.

If it is a teenagers school project it is a good effort but I'm paying for some decent viewing and Netflix is taking the absolute piss.

Bad dubbing, bad acting, bad photography, bad lighting, bad dialogue, and I'm only twenty minutes in. Looks like amateur actors didn't feel sure of themselves or the plot, which had a few holes. Police procedures, medical involvement and journalistic work stepped on each other's toes, and the cod portrayal of an "alternative personality" just grated. It looked like someone watched "Dexter" and thought they could do better. They didn't.

I've seen better acting at a primary school nativity play !

Sadly not an unfamiliar storyline!

Not sure if the director was awol during filming but to to say this movie is utter rubbish is the best compliment I can think.of !

The actor who played Simon, was by far the worst of a very bad bunch !

The continuity wasn't brilliant in a couple of places.

All in all, what could have been good entertainment was totally destroyed by a tired story line, abysmal acting and an unpolished finish.

It was spiced up a tad by showing breasts but it made a cheap porn movie look like a block buster. Don't waste your time watching this, you will be disappointed!
