The Death of April

TLDR It's bad

Writing this as a huge Found Footage fan.

I couldn't make it longer than halfway through before I turned it off and fell asleep. It was boring and incredibly cringy.

Lead actress was annoying, real annoying. I think she may suffer from down syndrome or something?

Ontop of that, nothing much happens, it's just her acting like a clown in front of a web camera like she probably does in rl, and it cuts back to her lame family talking about how great a kid she was.....it does this for literally 45 minutes. Occasionally a door would slowly open in the background and they even brought out the tired and predictable ouiji board we've seen in every. Single. Horror movie.

There's much better found footage out there, so if you're looking for a good one, skip this.

I'm not going to lie I went in not expecting much and that's exactly what I got. Not complete disappointment, there was some creepy scenes but mostly it was just watching some preppy rich girl waste everything her daddy gave her for drinking and boys. The whole ghost thing was layered so thinly on top it just didn't feel like the two were a coherent story. The ending was only more frustrating as it was so abruptly executed and that was it. If you want something tame then here you go. But honestly it was a pretty plain forgettable flick I wouldn't bother watching twice. Sucks cause the movie poster looked epic. Btw....next time don't get your actor for a mom character from a porno flick....

When I was first watching this movie, I thought that it was going to be fairly interesting. Average acting, it could have been better and a good plot. The thing that ruined it for me was that nobody believed her even after seeing everything that had been happening. What kind of parent does not go visit their daughter when she first moves away? That was another thing that ruined it for me. The brother just so happens to meet a girl that's into the paranormal? The scene where the sister and girlfriend were having a seance, she had an episode of breathing difficulty, vase breaks, that scene was over the top and not needed.

This is basically if Paranormal Activity, a movie that already had zero budget, had it's budget completely slashed and made about 15 years too late.

Megan is a little interesting, but aside from that the movie is just really dull. Just imagine Paranormal Activity but even less happens. The twist is this is made to look like a documentary, but this has already been done to death and done better. If this were made 10-15 years ago I might say watch it, but the paranormal activity movies have been done to death and the found footage documentaries have been done to death now.

There's just not really much of a reason to watch this movie.

When I sat down to watch the 2022 movie "The Death of April", from writer and director Ruben Rodriguez, I believed I was in for a horror movie. Had I known that it was nothing more than a documentary intermixed with poor quality videos of a woman filming her own life by webcam, I would have given this movie a wide berth.

Writer and director Ruben Rodriguez put together an absolute stinker of a script and storyline, and not even 30 minutes into the ordeal I had lost all interest in the storyline. I have to say that watching people sit around doing fake interviews for a movie and watching crappy quality webcam video just doesn't count as being a proper movie for me, nor does it count as being entertaining.

I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list, but I can't claim to be impressed with what I was witnessed on the screen, because the actresses and actors had a snowballs chance in Hell to deliver anything worthwhile, given the inadequate script and storyline that they had to work with. Not to mention the God awful character gallery.

Visually, then you're not in for anything grand. Well, not unless you consider low quality and grainy webcam footage as being enjoyable.

Do yourself a favor and don't waste 85 minutes of your life on watching this dumpster fire of a movie.

My rating of writer and director Ruben Rodriguez's 2022 laughable attempt at a horror movie lands on a one out of ten stars.
