Masquerade

I watched this movie, and by god is it boring.

The twist at the end, A neat one mind you, just cannot save this movie.

The acting at the start is bad, Thorne doesn't show the range this role needed.

Alyvia Alyn Lind is the only one who's acting is actually not that bad.

But ever since Daybreak i am expecting her to be able to make it far.

With indie small budget full feature films getting easier to produce and getting distribution thanks to streaming, this film is not bad. You have a unkown cast as with most low budget shoots like this but you have to get over that and just enjoy that. I see too many arm chair critics wanting A list actors and MGM-Universal Studio level production values. Move on then. This you will not find. Up and coming indie productions like this are meant to entertain you as you pass the the time, not waiting for the oscars.

There is nothing to look forward to.... Generally boring with no plot.

An average and interesting movie at the same time where everything is mishmash. It could have been so much more, but with a screenplay plots so confused that even the writers didn't quite figure out where it was going and headed, it couldn't generate satisfaction.

The last 15 minutes was their last thrown arrow that disappeared into the surrounding woods.

This is not the usual horror. The closest to this I can remember is Hushed. It has unpredictable end, it is mysterious, and it explains everything at the end, although bit too unclear or complicated. Unlike in most thrillers here we could see somebody so innocent looking getting badly hurt, so no censorship. Blood looks bit fake and story looks unfinished unfortunately. But at least unpredictable.
