Right, well I wish I had opted to check the IMDb rating for this 2020 movie titled "Home Stay" before I sat down to watch it. Because this movie was bad, so horribly, horribly bad.
Had I known that this movie was going to be a movie filmed with mobile phone cameras, CCTV cameras and such, then I wouldn't even have given it a running chance. And had I known that it was a movie where you just follow the monotonous and uneventful events of a married couple on their honeymoon, then I wouldn't have given it a second glance.
But let me just tell you that this movie is excruciatingly boring and uneventful. I managed to endure 45 minutes of pure, unadulterated boredom. Nothing, and I mean that literally, nothing happened in the 45 minutes of prolonged torment that I managed to suffer through. And I saw that people were saying skip to the last 10 minutes of the movie. I didn't even bother to do that, because after 45 minutes of absolutely nothing, I just had no more interest in the movie, its characters, its pointless storyline or its laughable camera work.
When I sit down to watch a movie, then I expect the movie to be a properly made movie. And that means proper and professional camera operating, cinematography, and such, and not something that is filmed with a dubious mobile phone camera or CCTV camera. And I most certainly have no interest in what feels like a home movie.
Sure, the acting performances in the movie were adequate, when you take into consideration that the actors and actresses had virtually nothing to work with in terms of a proper script, storyline, characters or the like.
"Home Stay" is without a doubt one of the worst movies and most boring movies I have ever stumbled upon. And I can't make it clear enough how much you have to give this movie a wide berth. It is just a total and utter waste of time.
I have no idea what writers Robert Jauregui and William Leonardo Molina were thinking here when they wrote this movie. But it amazes me that it collectively took two people to come up with absolutely nothing. But it would be more entertaining and enjoyable to just go out on the streets in the local neighborhood where you live and watch random people go about their business - it was essentially what was going on in "Home Stay".
My rating of "Home Stay" lands on a one out of ten stars. This movie was just atrociously bad, trust me. Do not waste your time, money or effort on this heap of rubbish.
