Apparitions

Well, as I sat down in 2022 to watch the 2021 horror movie "Apparitions" from writers Perri Cummings and Paul Anthony Nelson, I had never even heard about the movie. All I knew was that this was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. So of course I opted to give "Apparitions" a chance.

Boy, oh boy, was this movie a swing and a miss from directors Perri Cummings and Paul Anthony Nelson. The movie's storyline utterly and completely fell short of providing me with any sense of entertainment, and it was a massive drag to sit through this train wreck of a storyline that just snailed its way in a very monotonous pace. And it didn't help much that the dialogue was wooden and the character gallery bland.

Sure, I wasn't familiar with a single performer on the cast list in "Apparitions", and that is usually something that I really enjoy in movies. But here in "Apparitions", not so much. Why? Well, because the actors and actresses virtually were given no running chance to get off of the ground, and they had nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline, characters and dialogue.

And as for "Apparitions" being a horror movie, well... I suppose if you are fresh off of the boat and never seen a horror movie before, then "Apparitions" will prove to be chilling and suspenseful. But if you, like me am a life-long horror aficionado, then "Apparitions" just didn't deliver anything.

My rating of "Apparitions" lands on a two out of ten stars.

I saw this last year in Melbourne at Cinema Nova. It feels like those old school, pulpy genre films you rented on VHS growing up in the 90s, which I love! It's not a hard horror, more of a thriller/mystery with some great writing, funny moments and really enjoyable characters - particularly the three female leads.

Another worst film! Full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Avoid at all cost!

By far the worst movie I've ever watched in my life If you want to waste your time, and I mean waste it to the point that there is not a single net benefit, this is your movie.

With unoriginal scenes, poor acting skills, and just a terrible plot- this movie has managed to make amazed at just how AWFUL a movie can be.

Have you ever been pulled into a conversation by someone you really don't like, but you speak to them anyway because you don't want to be rude? Adding on to that, they're REALLY boring and just drone on and on and on without ever getting to the point-THAT'S what this movie is like! The movie has a good storyline, but that's where it ends. The actors aren't much above the talent of high school drama students, the directors allow camera shots to linger so long on the actors faces, etc., that it almost makes you feel awkward and uncomfortable watching. The sound is so bad that I wonder if the boom guy had a hangover. The music reminded me of B movies in the 70's. Unfortunately, I can't even list this as a B movie! Don't waste your time.

I'm a horror, mystery, thriller, scary movie/show type of gal. I almost passed this one up due to the low ratings, but decided what the heck, and here we are. If I have any complaint, I didn't really see how the ending tied in with the story. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at the backstory should've been better developed.

Was the acting amazing? No..but it wasn't horrible either. Some of the plotline was pretty preposterous, but its a fictional movie! There were a few nods to some of the 1980's era horror movies, which were pretty clever.

I watched the movie on a streaming channel that forces you to put up with commercials. If I have to abide them, the movie better be at least decent..this one was. I give it a solid 6/10.
