One Must Fall

I'm always looking for lesser known movies that have been well reviewed, and I saw this pop up and thought "Hey, 7.2 with 1000 reviews, this is gonna be pretty good."

Little did I know that I should've actually READ some of the reviews, cause it turns out this movie was heavily review bombed with 10's and it shows. Though not all the actors are terrible (Sarah and Dorian are passable), the dialogue is particularly awful and the scares are non-existant. The practical effects are standard b-movie fare, definitely nothing to write home about.

Pretty bad, even by b-movie standards. Shame about the blatant vote manipulation, guess it's the only way to get people to watch your lousy movie.

It tries. It starts out quirky and camp humor horror. Then it turns into sadistic slasher serial evil killer. For no reason. The killer tries to imbue some sort of philosophical element to the purpose, but this is wasted by the comedy start. Then it just gets ugly and stupid.

Maybe it was the lack of my coffee intake for the day, or maybe it was the fact that you have such poorly written characters that you quite literally put your audience to sleep. I'm a stickler for finding hidden indie film gems, in fact I mostly seek out horror films. I found this on IMDb tv and thought why not, could be a hidden gem. I typically never read reviews...well with this romp, I probably should have. The characters are so boring and paper-thin, you honestly wish they were dead. Yes please die. I snoozed for a good 15 minutes as I was trying so hard to keep my eyes open. However I did run back the film and watch the bit I missed. My nap was more entertaining. Side note: don't end your film with some world building almost marvel type end credits scene when it's a low budget indie film. Just don't. It makes you look pretentious, and as a great author once said: "An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure."

First off never in my life have I seen a film where people give it 10 stars on IMDb not even classics such as The Godfather or Taxi Driver...so obviously these are family friends of the actors or filmmakers and I even noticed some reviewers ARE the actors and filmmakers. C'mon seriously?

Secondly the movie doesn't deserve even half of ten stars because it was just indie horror schlock. Boring dialogue, boring characters, boring gore. Completely forgettable. Thank GOD it was free to watch.

The premise of the movie was interesting, but that was the best bit about it. I was excited to see where it was going but it's just kind of lack luster. It's not an awful movie, just not terribly good.
