Save Yourself

If you didn't like this movie why did you spend 91 mins Watching it? This is a Fun little Movie! I'm not one to drag on with a bunch of Hyperbole like a WHOLE LOT of these "Couch Critics" I'll just tell you if I like it or not and why! Simple, easy to the point! If your a Horror Buff give this one a Whirl! Pretty cool Ride!!!!

It's a fair premise. I think the technical craft is suitable, including blood effects. The cast is fine, and the music is swell. Costume design, hair, makeup, and all the little details that movies are made of are adequate.

So what?

The movie is well made. If this is the kind of horror flick you enjoy, then dig in, I suppose. But aside from a couple good ideas in the screenplay, what I see is a feature that's wholly unremarkable, and not meaningfully distinguishable from countless others. For that matter, as I began watching I had hoped for some morbid fun, but instead 'Save yourself' is full of cruelty for its own sake. It's not enjoyable - just tortuous, in every sense.

And of course, as is often the case in such films, there are no few story beats that wouldn't come to pass if the characters were written with realistic intelligence. But then we we wouldn't have a movie, would we? A couple especially noteworthy performances (Tristan Risk, Elma Begovic), and a few moments done especially well, save this sliding even further into the depths of tedium - almost entirely undone all the same by the last seconds, which don't make narrative sense.

Oh well. A viewer who specifically likes horror movies of mindless brutality will feel right at home here, but for anyone who doesn't, this is at best perfectly average. 'Save yourself' could be worse, sure - but not by much.

Two disappointed thumbs down.

-1 Star for being too short.

+1 Star for early bathroom scene.

And then it went crappy crappy and really was horrible. 2/10.

I can't believe I wasted 91 minutes of my life on this. The production was low quality and the acting/dialog was laughable. Low quality production can be overcome with a solid script, intriguing plot, believable acting and characters you can empathize and sympathize with. Unfortunately, this movie had none of the aforementioned. The only positive this move had going for it is the attractive female cast.

The acting is what made this movie dull and boring. The amount of dumb moves the girls made, so many slow moments. Honestly there was only one good part of the movie.

I like dumb horror movies but this was just too dumb for my likings.
