The Changed

Everyone's dumping on this movie like it's a college film student's final project gone wrong, but if you watch tons and tons of horror movies, you should know that this is a mostly competent film by comparison to the movies that were filmed on an iPhone 4.

Camera works is good, lighting is on point, performances are decent enough, and audio sounds good.

Where this movie falls short is that it feels more like a snippet of a bigger anthology movie, like something you'd see squeezed into one of the Creepshow films, or V/H/S anthologies as if someone told the filmmaker of this to "Make your segment like Body Snatchers", and this is what we got.

It's entertaining, but it feels like it's holding itself back. You can do SO much worse than this film though, so don't believe all of the 1/10 stars.

There's a movie I started watching on Tubi a few years back that I made it maybe 10 minutes in and was done. I left my IMDB review on it but can't remember the name. There are some others as well. So, with that being written, I cannot say this is the worst movie I've ever seen.

After browsing through trailers, I found this one and said to myself, finally, my kind of movie. It looked like a pretty good movie. Seeing Tony Todd on the cover (clever move) and in the trailer, I just knew it was gonna be a great movie. It was also genred as horror. Well, to my not so shocked surprise, it was neither of those things. I'm not going to say too much more. There are enough comments before me that express my sentiments exactly. However, one thing I will say is, Jane I think her name is...that lady who played her and the character herself were absolutely irritating. She got on my everlasting nerve. Kurt was annoying as well. All the characters were typical, blah, blah. No character arch....look, I doubt they were aiming for the an Emmy so you get what you got and it is what it is.

I don't usually write reviews for movies but when I saw the trailer for this movie I thought it was going to be so cool. Truly this was the worst movie I have ever seen - at least that I can remember.

Low budget doesn't even excuse the poor cinematography and terrible acting. Kim was probably the worst of them all though. She was so awkward, I don't know what they were thinking casting her. Honestly though, they were all terrible actors.

The movie was legitimately painful to watch. The odd camera angles were so bothersome to me. I kept thinking MOVE THE CAMERA. I don't usually even notice this kind of stuff in movies but it was THAT bad to me. The way this movie was filmed literally irritated me. I was getting fidgety watching the movie.. I just wanted it to end. If I were watching it alone, I definitely would've turned it off but the person I was with doesn't like cutting movies short.

The concept itself was alright I guess, but the storyline was terrible. It was just plain boring. There was no real buildup, the ending was so dumb and none of the characters were likable at all. I don't think I could find one good thing about the movie other than the general concept.

Definitely would NOT recommend watching this movie. Truly a waste of time.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a very long time! I have always liked the body snatcher genre, this is a joke though and you will be left wondering how you will ever get back the time wasted on this garbage. Bad acting, bad direction, lousy story!

Granted, I figured that a movie that sounded like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and with Tony Todd on the cast list couldn't be all that bad, right? But while Tony Todd is somewhat of a horror icon, then he does have a lot, and I do mean a lot, of dubious movie titles to his name. So I wasn't exactly harboring much hopes for writers Matt Giannini and Michael Mongillo's 2021 sci-fi thriller "The Changed".

But since I do believe in giving a movie a fair chance, of course I opted to sit down and watch what director Michael Mongillo had to offer with "The Changed".

And it wasn't really a whole lot, let me just tell you that. Yeah, "The Changed" was sort of semi-watchable, but that was about it. Whereas the synopsis sounded interesting enough and lead me to think of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", the reality of "The Changed" was somewhat different. And not in a good way.

The storyline put together by Matt Giannini and Michael Mongillo was just not impressive. The movie was barely sufficiently capable of sustaining a single viewing. I managed to sit through the ordeal, but I wasn't impressed, and not particularly entertained. And not even Tony Todd did anything to lift up the ordeal that is "The Changed".

The acting performances in the movie were, for the most parts, actually fair enough. I was only familiar with Tony Todd of all the performers on the cast list.

Visually then there are no special effects worth mentioning in "The Changed". So don't get your hopes up for being in a for a visually astounding sci-fi thriller. It just ain't happening.

My rating of "The Changed" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
