8 Found Dead

This movie was ok, are Airbnbs this much trouble? If so, count me out, the acting was fine, I fell in love with the old couple. The wife Liz was hilariois to me, lol. Her character was way off in a kooky type of way,, she seemed to enjoy her screen time, playing her role to a Tee. Barbarians the movie was about an airbnb as well, so was the new Netflix Film with Julia Roberts called Leave the world behind, same premise didferent scenario though. I would leave immediately if I showed up and someone was occupying the place I rented out. The characters in these types of movies makes all the wrong decisions.

Imagine this: two couples seeking a peaceful desert escape, but what they find is anything but tranquil. As the story unfolds from four different perspectives, the tension skyrockets. The film masterfully weaves together suspense, fear, and a touch of the unexpected, keeping you at the edge of your seat.

The setting plays a crucial role, enhancing the eerie atmosphere as the characters grapple with the realization that their Airbnb hideaway isn't as deserted as they thought. And when the night turns long and bloody, you'll find yourself immersed in a journey of survival. The director brilliantly navigates between the viewpoints, leaving you guessing and second-guessing throughout.

In terms of visuals, the cinematography captures the vastness of the desert while also delving into the intimate terror within the confined space of the Airbnb. The camera work accentuates the growing unease, making you feel as if you're right there with the characters, trying to piece together the puzzle of the night's events.

"8 Found Dead" isn't just another horror flick - it's a psychological thriller that plays with your mind and keeps you hooked. If you're into suspense, unexpected twists, and a dash of gore, this one's definitely worth checking out. It's a wild ride that'll leave you talking about it long after the screen goes dark. Grab some popcorn and brace yourself for a gripping cinematic experience! 🍿🌵🔪

And that is the guy who "played" the old creepy dude. He just was entirely not a good actor in any way. It seemed like he was hired as a favor to some financial backer's retired grandfather to get him out of the house so grandma and her book club could meet in peace.

It also doesn't help that every line written for him is just so smarmy and corny. Nothing he says sounds earned or true to character. There is also something entirely off about every non-expression he attempts. The old lady wasn't all that good either. It seems like they wanted a Lin Shaye-type but at least the second choice actress seemed seasoned and attempted actual acting. Her dialogue was just as cringe though.

And why on Earth is there both a Richard and a Ricky? Just rename out of them. It didn't help that the two non-old couples intentionally looked similar as well. I did like the cop couple. Most notably the red-headed one.

Needless to say, I also hate how it ended. The "franchise" hopefully ends here.

This was quite entertaining, better than I thought it was going to be. The performances were good But the standout performance was the character Liz played by Roseanne limeres. Really looking forward to the prequel to understand why Liz and Richard were the way they were. My only gripe with the movie was that I can't find anywhere the music. The amazing main song wonder valley is unavailable to listen to despite many a search. It is sung by big Ralph and written by the director Travis Greene. Please release it on YouTube or Spotify. Give this film a go if you like situational survival horror. Is not a masterpiece but an enjoyable film nonetheless.

10 stars start up, the intro promised comic horror and it miserably failed so now down to 9 stars.

The acting wasn't great, perhaps because of the scripted lines, so down two stars for each of these issues.

Not a spoiler, but read on if you don't want to know anything from me the film: The seventh star fall when the film tries to bring in s scene of a 'clown face'. This totally made no sense to the scene, even if it was to highlight the complexity or horror. That scene alone destroys the rest of the movie for me.

Yet, I kept going and for that I will give a star.

The twists and turns could be better cut, but these made the film watchable. In those moments it had potential, so another star given.

Whilst we are now in two stars, we deduct another for the twists that didn't deliver so we are down to 6 stars.

The ending was ok until they then destroyed it, and please with all due respect, a contuation was really not necessary for me, perhaps hard core flop-horror fans will love it. For me, it's now down to 5 stars.

The only horror moment in this film was the eerie waitress at the cafe. One star for that performance so now 3.

It was a brief moment, and even that fell short so we deduct another star, ending on 4, which is just as far fetched as the film, but I wish to be respectful in my reviews, so I'll leave it here.
