Villanos

It is an interesting story, but the poor choices by the young couple is irritating. Overall, it's good for a brain off entertainment.

Was expecting great things after the trailer. The storyline was good and there was some fun along the way but the script was lacking any real spark and there weren't many memorable moments.

Worth a watch if your bored.

"It never got weird enough for me." Villains is not a bad film, nor is it one I regret watching. It is brisk, quirky, and without any offensively glaring issues other than it plays it safe. This little genre film had potential in regards to all aspects of filmmaking (the writing, direction, acting, etc.) but it also had an air of reserve that suggests inexperience. Villains is so concerned with going down easy for the mainstream that it never attempts to be anything past standard. I wanted to love this film in the way I love Funny Games, Bound, and virtually everything by John Waters, but instead I find myself going back to one word when someone asks me to describe Villains... "meh."

This was a very original movie. I really liked the characters and it kept me guessing. The ending is a little bit of a bummer else I would have given it an 8/10.

The female lead is adorable and may have a promising future.

A fun little movie. A nice surprise.

*NON-SPOILER*

No doubt this film lives up to the comedy-horror genre, but the horror isn't the type of 'gory, scary, intense' horror. It's more of a mysterious, bad-situation type horror.

The comedy side of things can be funny at times. It's hard to describe what the film is about without giving out a 'big chunk' of a spoiler. A lot of the storyline occurs within 4 walls, where one of the two couples involved, live. The other couple is battling to get away.

The film is filled with the standard tense moments, 'will they, won't they' type scenes but overall it's alright to watch, nothing special but I've seen a lot lot worse.
