Nix

This is pretty far from perfect. It's a horror movie without a lot of horror, and the budgetary constraints show a few times. But, it's good to see Anthony C. Ferrante doing something serious, something without the dreaded words "The Asylum Presents" on it. Something without CGI sharks. Ferrante has talent, his early work showed that. Hopefully next time out he will get a shot at directing a film with a better script and a higher budget. I'd be very interested to see what he could do in that situation. He does the best he can here with what he has to work with. The script needed fine tuning, for sure. But all in all, it's ok.

I was initially lured into watching the 2022 horror movie "Nix" because of the movie's cover/poster, but also because it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And being an avid horror aficionado, of course I had to watch "Nix".

When I sat down to watch "Nix", I had never heard about the movie, so I didn't know what I was in for here. Nor did I really have any expectations, so writers Skyler Caleb, Anthony C. Ferrante, Woodrow Wilson Hancock III and James Zimbardi had every possible opportunity to bedazzle and entertain me.

The storyline in "Nix" is something that I will not say is easy viewing. It is a storyline that definitely is interesting, but also feels unnecessarily cluttered and chaotic. It is a movie that requires you to keep focus on the storyline, especially because the writers were all over the place here, jumping back and forth between characters in the present and the past.

The acting performances in the movie were good, and they had a pretty good cast ensemble, with the likes of Dee Wallace and Michael Paré on the cast list, among others.

Visually then "Nix" was okay. It is not a movie that makes use of an abundance of special effects, nor CGI. And whatever effects are there, function to further the narrative of the movie, so it worked out well enough. Just don't get your hopes up for a grand special effects spectacle.

Ultimately, then I found "Nix" to be a sort of okay movie. It was watchable, though it was somewhat of an acquired taste, I will say that much for it. And as such, I don't think that "Nix" is a movie that will easily please every member of the audience. And while I managed to sit through the 103 minutes that the movie ran for, I doubt that I will ever be returning to watch "Nix" a second time; it just doesn't have the contents in the script for more than a single viewing.

My rating of director Anthony C. Ferrante's 2022 horror movie "Nix" lands on a four out of ten stars.

It was like watching a film generated by a very low quality AI, which has been drinking heavily. The story made no sense, the acting was terrible, the dialogue illogical and often irrelevant. At one point the film almost "accidentally" stumbled into something resembling a sensible plot... but then quickly reverts back to ludicrous bad horror movie cliches. Some of the character writing and acting is so bad, that this makes a better comedy than a horror movie. In which case if you are looking for some bewilderment and a few laughs I would recommend giving it a go. Even the ridiculous outro song gave me a chuckle.

One of the worst plots for a film I've seen in a very verylong time, and I've seen a lot of bad films. At one point we thought it would actually make a good plot and tied up some loose ends..: then went OTT and nothing made sense again.

Started off below average, and within 20 minutes makes no sense at all. Basically no story line, bad acting and laughable rather than scary.

Watched through to the end but more to see what would actually happen as had already invested time and ended up watching like a comedy.

If you want to watch a film that looks like the first AI generated film, go for it. If it was executed better, with a better plot & better acting could have actually been an averagely good 'psychological' film, but unfortunately not.

The only reason this got 2 stars is because for some reason I watched to end. What a waste of 1.5 hours.

The bad: a "thriller" that doesnt thrill. Not one bit. What do I need say more? The whole point of a "thriller" is that I get excited, that I live in great anxiety of what is gonna happen next, that I am shocked by it. None of that. Bummer.

Not any good? It aint a terrible movie, but I would categorize "Nix" as a tv movie, with below average tv movie actors, with a below average script and with below average technical details, like photography and sound.

The movie "Nix" is just going through the motions. I wonder who this movie could best be suited for and I kinda veer to the tv soap audience, because the casual tv soap viewer doesnt mind below average quality at all, they just wanna see a mildly entertaining story...
