Masquerade

This is a total dud film ,didn't expect from Bella t such a good actress choosing a weak script which goes no where ....it's a revenge plot and as the film starts if you watch properly you know what's going to happen....the reason why I am giving 4 stars is for the performance it was honest and atmosphere created was good but a poorly written screenplay..even actors cant help ....there was no need dragging the film for a simple revenge plot ....after half n hour you are left bored and feel like nothings gonna happen...total mess ...

This was the longest 80 minute film I've ever seen. The majority of the film is summed up in, "Where is she?".

Some reviewers here brag that they (and only they) understood the big reveal at the end. Sorry, but you aren't that special. And you also missed the hole in that twist that you could drive a truck through.

By the time one gets to the end and sees the twist ending, it's hard to care. If you are feeling masochistic, you could watch the movie again to "get" the twist. But is it worth it? No.

An average and interesting movie at the same time where everything is mishmash. It could have been so much more, but with a screenplay plots so confused that even the writers didn't quite figure out where it was going and headed, it couldn't generate satisfaction.

The last 15 minutes was their last thrown arrow that disappeared into the surrounding woods.

I watched this movie, and by god is it boring.

The twist at the end, A neat one mind you, just cannot save this movie.

The acting at the start is bad, Thorne doesn't show the range this role needed.

Alyvia Alyn Lind is the only one who's acting is actually not that bad.

But ever since Daybreak i am expecting her to be able to make it far.

This is not the usual horror. The closest to this I can remember is Hushed. It has unpredictable end, it is mysterious, and it explains everything at the end, although bit too unclear or complicated. Unlike in most thrillers here we could see somebody so innocent looking getting badly hurt, so no censorship. Blood looks bit fake and story looks unfinished unfortunately. But at least unpredictable.
