Deadly Weekend

I gave this one a 3, mostly because I've seen too many like it already. It didn't bring anything new, exciting, different, better done, nothing worth mentioning. Just another "lets make a movie in the woods" thing, that will pass by you, without leaving an impression, without even noticing it was there at some point.

Sure the budget was small, cause it is the easiest indie type of horror, the woods one, the acting was somewhat OK, the characters had some core, but after the first half, it all goes down the drain. It just becomes bad, when you get to see where this is heading...wow. So most of you, lucky people, will stay away from it, and get something good in return. Woods horror movies: plenty! Pick your choice.

Zellwood is avoidable. Watch it at your own peril!

How in Gods name do you have Sara Jane Underwood in this movie and you do not get her naked. Disgraceful. This was right before she let her self go to food. The director and writer are idiots. The movie was just written so poorly. I got to ask. Did Joe Biden and Hunter Biden write this movie?? Seriously that's how reee ttardd did it was. I gave this a 2 because the murdering children were the best part of this rotten clothing fest. I was hoping the daddy would give Sara Jane Underwood a Bath or a shower to give this clown show some sense of belonging. Would've been nice if During the axe scene Sara was nude. You blew it . Now nobody wants to see her nude.

At first I thought thriller / bit of horror movie can bring something different. I was wrong, this movie is load of crap, story line was sucks and bad acting all around. Too fake. The setting for this movie is really bad, not interesting and looks all around the same place. Story line need to be extended in a broad view, bringing more accessories / props too. In my opinion this movie can be expanded to a whole new level with more budget and good story line, never mind the bad acting. The only good thing in this movie is Sara Jean Underwood, sadly no intimate actions. Probably the actress need to find different movie approach, not horror / thriller but maybe comedy and love drama, will suit her even better.

No pun intended - Ms Underwood (is that a pun/innuendo too?) looks really stunning. And she probably is best when it comes to "acting" in the movie too. Or I was blinded by her beauty - even so, that doesn't say much, because the others are not really "competition".

We get a film in a film thing in the beginning - and all the nudity you will get in the movie too. Whatever that is going to mean for and to you. Because while they all do look good (in hot pants or whatever else they are wearing), they act irrational/not good throughout (no pun intended).

The effects are quite good - if you care for those. And I reckon there is a sort of neat twist towards the end. Not sure that is a saving grace (and last pun to ... end scene)

Sometimes you just got to stop and actually pay heed to the reviews that you stumble upon here and there, and also to the low rating that a movie scores. But as taste and preference is a matter of personal opinion, you just got to take a chance every now and again.

"Deadly Weekend" was not worth the chance at all. This is really an unfathomably slow and dimwitted movie that requires absolutely nothing from the audience. Just unhook all mental capacity, then you are ready for this movie.

Oh, and you might want to brace yourself for about an hour and a half of absolutely nothing worthwhile. The storyline was forced and wooden, leaving no room for any surprises, twists or even unforeseen turn of events.

The acting in the movie, well, I have seen worse, but there is a mighty gap from what was portrayed in this movie up to something that was passable as mediocre.

As for the effects, well, then they worked out well enough, and those were basically everything that had any leverage in this movie. And there was a fair amount of blood and mayhem in the movie to peak some gorehound's interest. But it was hardly sufficient to carry the rest of the movie.

It was as if this movie was a remnant from a mid 1980's horror movie, where they piled together unused footage and ideas.

For a thriller / horror movie, then "Deadly Weekend" was a rather boring and uneventful addition to the history of cinema.
