Death Link

The movies not good cause the darn girls won't even look into the camera so as the actress herself like what was the actresses thinking and doing well I'm giving a 1 star for this pure garbage!!!!!!!!!

Total waste. Terrible plot with worse acting. Plot was all over the place. I did think "instatok" was clever. Don't waste the time tho. I would say zero stars except Matt Rife was in it but he should stick to comedy. His acting wasn't any better than the others. I love horror movies and the hidden gems are even better. I would compare this to a dirt clod! It made my head hurt. Seeking out hidden gems can be a painful experience. This was definitely painful. To watch and to follow. My head still hurts and I watched it well over 24 hours ago. My teen daughter wasn't a fan either. I don't have any other words.

The plot is all over the place, no exposition, no character development, not worth it in the least, random cuts, random characters being introduced out of nowhere with no background, it looks like something that would be on late on disney.

Death Link (2021) is a revenge slasher flick like so many before it. Kid gets bullied, ends up in the asylum from which he escapes and people back home start being brutally murdered. Sound familiar? Yeah. But despite its utter lack of originality (with the possible exception of the twist) Death Link is very watchable. The acting is passable, same with the directing. Cinematography was fine. All in all not horrible. When I watched it it was rated 2.6 and last I looked it was 3.3 so somebody else must've liked it.

Other user reviews would lead you to believe that this is absolutely worthless. It isn't. It IS very low budget. The acting is hit or miss. It is highly derivative. It's also fairly entertaining. The slasher subgenre has never been rife with originality from the eighties on. How can you be original with a central idea that has been done a million times? The trick is to make it entertaining and this one manages that plus some. It also falls into a few traps along the way, like offering a cast of characters that is almost universally unlikeable. And lets be honest, the social influencer thing is more played out than a bunch of investigators in a haunted location. Don't expect greatness or innovation, but it passes the time fairly well.
