Enjoyable and entertaining...
I sat down to watch the 2020 sci-fi thriller "The Return" here in 2021, without ever having heard about the movie, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
And now that the movie ended, I will say that writers Ken Janssens and BJ Verot actually managed to compile a wholesome script that proved interesting and entertaining.
The movie does manage to combine elements of horror and sci-fi in a rather interesting and entertaining manner. And I do admit that I like the storyline and the way that the writers managed to mix together the two elements for a wholesome story.
Visually then "The Return" is fairly good. Now, the movie is not one that relies heavily on special effects, well aside from the apparition, of course. But they managed to pull it off well enough, and definitely added something good to the overall movie experience.
Richard Harmon (playing Rodger) and Echo Andersson (playing Jordan) were really nicely cast for their roles and they carried the movie quite well with their performances.
If you sit down to watch "The Return" and expect it to be a scary movie, then you will be disappointed. Nay, "The Return" is a light sci-fi movie with elements of thriller and horror to it. Nothing overly scary about director BJ Verot's 2020 movie actually.
I enjoyed the movie from start to end, and it is a movie that actually is well worth taking the time to sit down and watch. I am rating "The Return" a six out of ten stars.
