Deep Hatred

Let's start with something positive: the film looks good and the cinematography is more than competent. That said...

The actors are not to blame, especially given the terrible characters and dialog they were given, for "Deep Hatred", A more appropriate title would have been "Goofus & Gallant: The Horror Movie"

Gallant fixes the flat tire while Goofus flirts with his girlfriend.

Gallant & GF worry about the moldy smell of the house while Goofus & GF jump into a clean-as-whistle pool at an abandoned house.

Gallant hugs his girlfriend while Goofus has sex in the pool.

Gallant cleans the house while Goofus has sex with his GF.

Gallant investigations the spookiness of the house while Goofus surreptitiously and salaciously snaps pool pics of Gallant's GF (who is Goofus' childhood friend).

Gallant's GF is blonde and wears white while Goofus's GF is raven-haired and wears black (and talks FOREIGN-y!).

Gallant has brought a ring with which to propose to his not-longtime GF, while Goofus derides the ring and his intention, unaware that HIS long-time girlfriend has decided HE is overdue to propose.

Somewhere during all of this, the Elder Couple visits and gives them a Mysterious Warning not to go out at night (close up on hedonistic couple). "What do you mean?" -- "Bye, kids!"

There are spooky stickman not-scarecrows all about, giving the impression they are at The Blair Witch's summer place.

Wait, was that something in the bathroom mirror behind her?! Is there a person under those crumpled bedsheets? Does The Water contain Evil?

There's more, but you get the idea. If AIs start being used to write horror movies, films like "Deep Hatred" will be the cause, since it already seemed composed entirely of algorithmically compiled tropes.

It has potential. First you have a secluded house and two couple. That's a good setup. Then it just starts up with this weird stuff going on and some sort of story about what went on at the house years before. It's just not much of a movie.

Ok nice setting, some sort of a movie about an old cult. The only part I understood was the very first 5 minutes. Pretty leading ladies, some talent but raw talent. The casting of the boyfriends I don't know who did this casting.

A story but not a story that was at all put together. It kind of had a bunch of stories that could have potentially be spun together and joined it up, but alas it failed to do so. In so many ways. Then add in two nutty neighbors, one Beth just off the charts. But I guess at least she played her role well or at least I hope so.

So a few startlingly moments but NOT jump scares. Over all just a waste of time and that's unfortunate because it really had potential in a few different stories. Please do not bother.

So on the whole the concept and plot of the movie isn't particularly bad per se. Some elements of it needed to be fleshed out more though. Really the most egregious part of the story is the twist at the end that comes out of nowhere and makes little to no sense.

The acting in this movie is terrible quite frankly. A couple actors being garbage could be overlooked, but when the vast majority of the actors are awful it really hurts the film overall and makes it seem cheaper and low-end than it may actually be. The best actor in the whole thing is the guy who gets thrown into the lake at the very beginning of the film, and that lasts perhaps a total of 30 seconds; from then on out it's struggle city in the acting department.

All in all I wouldn't recommend this movie if you're looking for a decent horror movie to watch. If you'd just like to take the piss out of a bad-to-mediocre movie though this may just scratch that itch, as there are some genuinely some unintentionally funny moments aside from the weak acting.

Watched the first 30 minutes, skimmed the rest and felt robbed of my earthly time.

Not scary, so so acting. Not completely wooden but close.

Special effects are low budget to none at all, boring from first 5 minutes.

Biggest issue is that it is boring. Never cared for any of the characters.

Feels like a play more than a movie.
