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.

I'm not sure what's the point of this movie. The storyline is non existence, the characters inside are stupid af. It's just boring going through the motion and there's no sense whatsoever. None of the characters, despite being younger and stronger, has any common sense or self preservation technics. Instead they behave like stupid lambs waiting to be slaughtered without a fight. This movie is a waste of time🙄 I would advise ppl to have extremely low expectations or not to watch this movie at all. I don't even have enough words to post a review of this movie because the movie literally has no plot and it's really stupid haha.

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!

And that is the guy who "played" the old creepy dude. He just was entirely not a good actor in any way. It seemed like he was hired as a favor to some financial backer's retired grandfather to get him out of the house so grandma and her book club could meet in peace.

It also doesn't help that every line written for him is just so smarmy and corny. Nothing he says sounds earned or true to character. There is also something entirely off about every non-expression he attempts. The old lady wasn't all that good either. It seems like they wanted a Lin Shaye-type but at least the second choice actress seemed seasoned and attempted actual acting. Her dialogue was just as cringe though.

And why on Earth is there both a Richard and a Ricky? Just rename out of them. It didn't help that the two non-old couples intentionally looked similar as well. I did like the cop couple. Most notably the red-headed one.

Needless to say, I also hate how it ended. The "franchise" hopefully ends 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.
