8 Found Dead

10 stars start up, the intro promised comic horror and it miserably failed so now down to 9 stars.

The acting wasn't great, perhaps because of the scripted lines, so down two stars for each of these issues.

Not a spoiler, but read on if you don't want to know anything from me the film: The seventh star fall when the film tries to bring in s scene of a 'clown face'. This totally made no sense to the scene, even if it was to highlight the complexity or horror. That scene alone destroys the rest of the movie for me.

Yet, I kept going and for that I will give a star.

The twists and turns could be better cut, but these made the film watchable. In those moments it had potential, so another star given.

Whilst we are now in two stars, we deduct another for the twists that didn't deliver so we are down to 6 stars.

The ending was ok until they then destroyed it, and please with all due respect, a contuation was really not necessary for me, perhaps hard core flop-horror fans will love it. For me, it's now down to 5 stars.

The only horror moment in this film was the eerie waitress at the cafe. One star for that performance so now 3.

It was a brief moment, and even that fell short so we deduct another star, ending on 4, which is just as far fetched as the film, but I wish to be respectful in my reviews, so I'll leave it here.

This was quite entertaining, better than I thought it was going to be. The performances were good But the standout performance was the character Liz played by Roseanne limeres. Really looking forward to the prequel to understand why Liz and Richard were the way they were. My only gripe with the movie was that I can't find anywhere the music. The amazing main song wonder valley is unavailable to listen to despite many a search. It is sung by big Ralph and written by the director Travis Greene. Please release it on YouTube or Spotify. Give this film a go if you like situational survival horror. Is not a masterpiece but an enjoyable film nonetheless.

This movie was ok, are Airbnbs this much trouble? If so, count me out, the acting was fine, I fell in love with the old couple. The wife Liz was hilariois to me, lol. Her character was way off in a kooky type of way,, she seemed to enjoy her screen time, playing her role to a Tee. Barbarians the movie was about an airbnb as well, so was the new Netflix Film with Julia Roberts called Leave the world behind, same premise didferent scenario though. I would leave immediately if I showed up and someone was occupying the place I rented out. The characters in these types of movies makes all the wrong decisions.

I had never even heard about this 2022 horror movie titled "8 Found Dead" from writer Jonathan Buchanan and director Travis Greene prior to stumbling upon it by random luck here in 2024. And given my love of the horror genre, of course I opted to give this movie a fair chance.

Well, if you enjoy offbeat movies then you're in for a treat here, because writer Jonathan Buchanan definitely put together something that was refreshingly unique. And thus, "8 Found Dead" was not just another run-of-the-mill horror movie crammed with jump scares to get a reaction out of the audience. While the storyline was rather bizarre, I must say that I actually found it to be adequately entertaining.

While the movie wasn't crammed with an abundance of familiar actors and actresses, I will say that the cast ensemble was nicely cast, and they definitely had some good talents to participate in the movie. The only performers I was familiar with were William Gabriel Grier and Jenny Tran.

Visually then, and while the movie wasn't heavily relying on special effects, then the effects were fair and served their purpose well enough.

"8 Found Dead" is worth sitting down and checking out if you want something that deviates from the usual horror tropes.

My rating of director Travis Greene's 2022 movie "8 Found Dead" lands on a five out of ten stars.

I don't know why everyone seems to want to hate on this. It's a decent B-movie slasher.

Does it make much sense? No, not really but does that matter? No, not really!

It's entertaining, doesn't require any brain power, and is engaging enough to keep your attention.

Was I rooting for any of the characters? Absolutely not There's a little twist at the end, which is fun, if predictable.

There's a post credit scene which hints at a prequel. I'd be happy to watch that if it ever gets made.

I was going to give it a six, because the timeline is a little confusing, but I'm feeling generous and not mean, so a solid seven it is!
