Teardrop

Good story line, acting is mediocre except Denver. Some of the set is to laugh at. The desk for instance in this 100 years old building has metal slides.

This will probably go down as the worst movie I'll see in 2022; the story was interesting at first but then devolved into nonsense, the movie plodded along at a snails pace and didn't get interesting until the midway point, and the production values just weren't much better than your average made-for-TV train-wreck that has no business receiving a budget.

That being said, the acting was...good? Most if not all of the characters played their roles well, and even with a crap script, they made the best of it. The teenagers were surprisingly adept at delivering their lines like real teenagers do. Now if that's a compliment or an insult, I'll let you decide.

This movie was garbage and will be forgotten and ignored like it deserves to be.

Beware the reviews on this movie; I see a lot of accounts that reviewed this and only this movie, which lets me know that these people know someone that was involved in this movie or worked on it themselves. Disingenuous reviewing is the bane of this site, but it continues to happen; don't fall for their lies.

To those reviewers; you aren't doing anyone a favor by lying about the quality of this movie. It's trash, I know it's trash, you know it's trash. At least be honest about it when you review it.

Teardrop is a horror mystery about a pair of teachers who bring 3 seemingly random students to investigate a ghost town. They meet an absolutely irritating local who gives them cryptic information about a seemingly random event that happened long ago.

This movie is absolutely terrible. The characters are boring teenager stereotypes , the ditzy "hot" girl obsessed with looks and having a good time , the nerdy Asian obsessed with her GPA who doesn't know how to let loose, and pervy wanna be cool kid who strikes out with the ladies. The dialogue is absolutely atrocious which nearly makes American pie look deep.

The plot is so irritating it's hard to care about, and the production value is right off of lifetime. Really the issue is just the awful flat characters , annoying setting and ludicrous ending.

I did enjoy the sound design. Yay.

This one is a hard skip.

Im a big fan of low budget b-rated films. That being said, I dont hold a high standard for them either. Thats why I'll give the film 3 stars. Its a watch one time film, break from the norm, but not worth watching a second time even 20 years later when you've totally forgotten what the film is about.

The story is mediocre at best but also has zero closure. You cant have too many open ends on a film like this, it leaves the viewer feeling unsatisfied. I.e. The Denver character isnt explained at all, and because of how it ends, seems a misplaced character to the story.

There are 2 good things to this film, first, it seems maybe the director is competent. Does well setting the scenes and taking some shoddy old west town and making a decent set out of it. Second, actually pretty good acting from the cast which is why Im okay with not fully skipping over this film. They all do a good job at playing their characters.

Actually its more a noose around ... let's not get too much into this though. We don't want to give away too much that is. The movie is quite simple in some ways and quite complicated in others. For a low budget horror movies, the effects are ok.

The story is predictable but still has some twists and turns that you may be able to appreciate. Acting is fine and while there are a few cliches that you have to endure, it is nothing that is too bad ... the ending is interesting and may elevate this for some ... again decent effort for a low budget movie.
