Deadly Yoga Retreat

This is some of the worst acting I have ever seen in my life....and that was just in the first 3 mins. What an awfully constructed, badly written and badly acted film. Even low budget horror films shot on an iPhone are better than this. The main guy was chosen for his looks and looks alone, because he can't act to save his life. Can't believe I actually watched this to the end. Nothing but a colossal waste of my time.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with this movie prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2024. And since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance.

Writers Jay Black and Brian Herzlinger put together a rather generic and bland script and storyline. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it was a very forgettable movie, truth be told. The narrative just simply didn't have enough spice to it to make it a memorable viewing experience. And the pacing of the storyline was rather slow paced, and without a whole lot of interesting things happening as the narrative crept forward at a slow pace, it just was not a compelling movie to sit through.

It was pretty much devoid of thrills. There were a couple of kills throughout the course of the movie, but it was hardly enough to lift up the movie much.

Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with actor Jonathan Bennett. I will say, though, that the acting performances in the movie were actually fair.

Watchable for what it was, but "Deadly Yoga Retreat" is a movie that came and went without leaving any kind of lasting impression. And this is definitely not a movie that will find its way back to my screen a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend for fans of the thriller genre to rush out and get to watch.

My rating of director Brian Herzlinger's 2022 TV movie "Deadly Yoga Retreat" lands on a three out of ten stars.

I want to preface this by saying that we love LMN movies in our house, it's the go-to channel for entertainment when we're not streaming something specific. And the dog likes LMN when we're not home, being a drama queen it suits him.

Sadly this movie, more specifically the acting, and the videography was horrendous. The male lead was so over-acted and unconvincing (I know, lots of LMN films have that in common but this was over the top terrible) that it came off as a comedy. That said, I personally would recommend watching it as long as you're not missing anything important like your firstborn's graduation, the unplanned humor is worth the 2 hours.

The writer really missed the mark. They should have made Remy super charming so the girls were falling over him and have best friend be suspicious. It's LMN-101 after all!

The main gal, Isabella is discontent at home but her husband is sweet, caring and in love with her. The movie descriptor says she's in a bad marriage. Lol

Me and wife wife enjoy cheese. You can choke on the excessive cheese with this one! If you like badly scripted, shabbily acted, dismally directed films, then Deadly Yoga Retreat is for you.

Oh, on a side note, the score may be the lowest rent part of this flick.

At this point, I'm just typing to meet character quota. Seriously, as bad as this is, I couldn't stop watching it.

1. Thought Patrick(husband)was her dad,their age/looks did not match up.

2. Jonathan(Instructor)was over the top in a cringy way,feel he needs to stick with his typical storylines.

3. Was a nice location,still overshadowed by a bad & done before plot.

4. Actors chosen,most of their acting & cinematography was ok.

Would I watch it,again? Nope!
