Widow's Point

Well, granted I was lured in by this 2019 thriller's movie cover/poster, and I actually had no idea what the movie was about or who was in it. The movie seemed like a horror movie, little did I know that it was a mere thriller, so I sat down to watch it.

And "Widow's Point" was a swing and a miss from director Gregory Lamberson in terms of entertaining me. Sure, the movie was semi-watchable, but it was very, very slow-paced and rather uneventful. And when something did happen, it was just something bland which made me merely shrug my shoulders at best.

For a thriller, then "Widow's Peak" was stale and generic. The storyline was very scripted and predictable, which most definitely didn't add an ounce of enjoyment to the movie, to be honest.

What did work for the movie was the fact that Craig Sheffer was on the cast list. But even with him on the cast list it wasn't much of an uplifting addition to the movie, because he had very little to work with.

The special effects in "Widow's Peak" were not impressive. They worked as intended, for sure, but they were by no means impressive, especially for a movie from 2019.

I am rating "Widow's Peak" a mere, but generous, three out of ten stars. I wasn't impressed nor entertained. And chances of me returning to watch "Widow's Point" ever again are about as big of a me winning the lottery; and since I don't play the lottery, well...

I understand that this is a relatively low budget movie, and production values will be limited; but this was pretty bad, all things considered. I was hoping I would like it, because it sounded interesting. Unfortunately, it seems as if this movie was trying too hard to take itself too seriously, with acting that can't be taken seriously at all and it made me turn it off about halfway through. Plot holes, cinematography and less than ideal acting led me to lose interest. Now that this can be watched for free, go right ahead and do so, but I can see why it quickly ended up there.

I had hoped this was going to be a creepy ghost story. At first, it started that way, then it went rapidly down hill. The acting was atrocious, and the story line went too far over the top for my liking. I wouldn't waste your energy on this!

I'm a huge horror/B- horror fan. I comb through all the FF, UFO, paranormal stuff, and creative features available on Prime. Seeing this movie starred Craig Shaffer along with an acceptable preface I have it a shot. First, what happened to CS acting? I consider him just under an A list actor and have enjoyed his films. This movie opens with absolutely awful acting. CS agent is one of the worst in the film. All of the actors were just unbearable to watch. I was hoping CS would make this movie bearable. After a box of Cheezits....he just didn't. If you're a fan of hidden gems, avoid this one. It needs to remain hidden.

This is so hard to review. On one hand, it is absolutely awful. I mean, it is as bad as anything I've ever seen. On the other hand, it is unintentionally hilariously. I laughed harder at this than I did the room. There is a sequence near the end with Sheffer channeling his inner Gary Busey in the most so bad it's good way possible. As a movie, this is cheap junk. As a late night, get your friends together and laugh joke, it's great!
