Margaux

A litany of putrefied cinematic sins, sloppily contained in a thin polymer skin:

• Inane story
• Cardboard acting
• Self indulgent slo-mo interstitial sequence
• Infuriating dialogue
• Terrible effects
• Anachronistic technology with no explanation
• Strange scoring choices
• Deranged casting/geriatric 20-somethings
• Technobabble
• Non-existent cast chemistry
• Molecule-thin disposable stereotyped characters
• Redundant plot devices
• Inconsistent character behaviours
• Painfully unrewarding predictability
• Trying sooo hard for that 'R', not deserving it

Lawnmower man eat your heart out (this filmgives instructions).

Wooden cast of young nobodies with typical stereotypical set of boring personalities, the stoner, the jock, the nerd, the nasty girl you know the formula, lame and boring social media people. Don't insult your own intelligence and save precious time of your life that you will not get back. This is total garbage, watching paint dry is more entertaining than Margaux and the sfx are so cheap and nasty a giant curtain used to make the water room look futuristic is just laughable. CGI from the 80's cracked me up think Terminator Liquid Metal guy. Possibly my biggest mistake this decade was to watch part of this.

Not Terrible, but not great either. The concept is interesting and the production is pretty good, some of the effects weren't great but they were passable. The acting for the most part was decent.

This film feels like a dress rehearsal of the movie, it has all the right elements and you get the idea and feel for it but it's just not quite all there.

The kills, again, are respectable but it doesn't quite hit the spot.

It's not amateurish but it's not quite big league. There are a lot of horror movies that are bad, this isn't one of them but again, it's not great. It's not scary but it could've been, it has the all elements but misses the mark. Watch it but don't expect much from it.

It's good looking (for the most part, the CGI is trash) and well acted and I am ecstatic to see two Black female leads in a sci-fi horror. I'm sure, despite the actual problems this movie has, this qualifies it as "wOkE" and may immediately lead to bad reviews from certain people. But yeah, the actual issue is nothing....and I mean nothing....about this movie makes sense. First of all, it isn't a smarthouse. Ihas what can only be described as superpowers? How? Never explained. What's the white goo everywhere? Never explained. Why aren't the authorities at least 'concerned' about a house no one ever returns from? Never explained. Who built the house? Never explained. The house's motive? Explained but nonsensical. This was bad and I'm only giving three stars for the positive reasons I stated.

This would have been better if they didn't include CGI/VFX robot arms and white liquid. It would have made the movie more realistic and more fun to watch. With the ridiculous robot arms it was just distracting because they were just poorly done and made the whole thing seem silly instead of funny.

The characters also didn't even react much to freaking CLONES in front of them at the beginning of the movie. How can you just dismiss that and continue partying? I know some of them were stoned, but not all of them. They just giggled and continued talking like nothing fantastic happened. I know it's supposed to be a horror-comedy movie, but they should have put a bit more effort to make it less ridiculous.
