Margaux

Someone saw the episode of 'The Simpsons' where the Ultrahouse 3000, played by Pierce Brosnan, turns evil...and tries to kill everyone.

This is just that, ramped up to 100, in movie form...but ironically, The Simpsons' episode was only 20 minutes long, but it was still way better than this.

This had no real storyline, or character development. Full of clichés. Mediocre acting and TERRIBLE cgi!

It could almost be classed as a comedy. Awful pacing...and a horrible ending.

It did have some awesome kill scenes though!

Really starting to get annoyed with this new 600-character minimum that IMDB has implemented recently.

So even when a film has absolutely nothing worthy of talking about, we still have to stretch a review to fit the limit. Counter-productive in my opinion...as it means that a lot of reviews will be full of gibberish, just to get the numbers up!

Wooden cast of young nobodies with typical stereotypical set of boring personalities, the stoner, the jock, the nerd, the nasty girl you know the formula, lame and boring social media people. Don't insult your own intelligence and save precious time of your life that you will not get back. This is total garbage, watching paint dry is more entertaining than Margaux and the sfx are so cheap and nasty a giant curtain used to make the water room look futuristic is just laughable. CGI from the 80's cracked me up think Terminator Liquid Metal guy. Possibly my biggest mistake this decade was to watch part of this.

A group of friends take a holiday in a smart house, a house that is run by AI system Margeaux, a technology with murderous designs.

This film sucks, let's be honest it's flawed from top to bottom, but on a Saturday night added a few wines, it served as an entertaining kill fest. Cheesy and corny, it's not going to win any awards, but ninety minutes of humour and kills, it's worth a look.

I'll give credit for some of the kill scenes, very imaginative, a little Final Destination at times, some of the CGI however was dodgy to say the least.

Doctor Who The Flesh anyone?

It's a very bizarre mix, you imagine if this had been touted about fifteen years ago it would have been a slasher movie, one of them would have been the killer in plain sight, now of course in this day of AI obsession, it followed the recent trend for AI systems gone bad, the trouble is it's been done many times before, but better.

You can pick holes in the script all day long, you'll wonder why so many people have gone missing from that house, and no alarms have been raised.

Of all of the characters, I think Clay was perhaps the best of them, at least he was quite funny, Lexi was nauseating, Hannah was the most cliché ridden and obvious of the lot, it's a shame they were all so predictable.

6/10.

This would have been better if they didn't include CGI/VFX robot arms and white liquid. It would have made the movie more realistic and more fun to watch. With the ridiculous robot arms it was just distracting because they were just poorly done and made the whole thing seem silly instead of funny.

The characters also didn't even react much to freaking CLONES in front of them at the beginning of the movie. How can you just dismiss that and continue partying? I know some of them were stoned, but not all of them. They just giggled and continued talking like nothing fantastic happened. I know it's supposed to be a horror-comedy movie, but they should have put a bit more effort to make it less ridiculous.

A litany of putrefied cinematic sins, sloppily contained in a thin polymer skin:

• Inane story
• Cardboard acting
• Self indulgent slo-mo interstitial sequence
• Infuriating dialogue
• Terrible effects
• Anachronistic technology with no explanation
• Strange scoring choices
• Deranged casting/geriatric 20-somethings
• Technobabble
• Non-existent cast chemistry
• Molecule-thin disposable stereotyped characters
• Redundant plot devices
• Inconsistent character behaviours
• Painfully unrewarding predictability
• Trying sooo hard for that 'R', not deserving it

Lawnmower man eat your heart out (this filmgives instructions).
