The Girl with No Name

The Girl with No Name was a pleasant surprise. I honestly was not expecting much from this low budget (I mean seriously LOW budget) horror-comedy movie, but I ended up really enjoying it. The concept is very simple and straight forward but if you pick up on the satire then you will realize what a clever little flick this is. This is a satire on modern society and the stereotypical roles men and women are expected to play. Toxic masculinity is a big theme in this movie and the director is not subtle at all with the feminist message the movie delivers. The characters think "the girl" is a demon simply because she is able to outsmart them and in some cases overpower them. I found this very amusing because in the society we live in women are often victims of stereotypical norms. The men in this movie are exaggerated but at the same time it is a fair criticism on how toxic these sexist societal norms are. There are jarring digital distortions that occur throughout the movie...I am not quite sure the purpose/meaning behind these distortions but I found them to be very effective. They could possibly be a metaphor for how gender roles have become distorted in modern society? I should mention that this movie is quite violent and vulgar and the violence/vulgarity is nicely put in contrast with the humor. The characters are very offensive...this movie is really funny but you must have a dark sense of humor to appreciate it. I would love to see this movie re-made with a larger budget, but for a micro budget flick this is a 10/10.

The Girl with No Name starts out kind of slow but once it gets going it's undeniably entertaining.

REALLY dark humor at play. If you can handle disgusting, vile, crude, sick, and just plain awful characters for 80 minutes then this flick is for you. There is clearly an over the top pro feminism message throughout. Seriously.. all the men in this are absolutely terrible people. I recommend.

The script was horrible, like the writers didn't have a clue how to write real dialog. The casting was horrible, there was no connection between characters. You couldn't believe anyone was connected to anyone. The acting was flat. It's as if no one had ever had one single acting lesson. Lines were delivered as if they were reading them for the first time. Was there even a director present on the set? The ridiculously long lingering shots on things gave away all the things that could have made it interesting. Therefore there were absolutely no surprises. Honestly, every aspect of this movie was way below par.
