The 6th Friend

This is not the worst film I have ever seen. I would consider it to be a strong contender for the worst film I've seen this decade.

The writing is bad, the acting is worse, and the camera-work is nauseatingly wobbly. It might be intended to feel organic, like we're watching through someone's eyes, but if that's the case the 'camera/person' is very short and dangerously drunk.

Absolutely every one of the main cast feels wooden and unconvincing. They deliver lines in ways that would make a high school drama coach despair. Seriously. I have seen school plays with better acting.

The lighting and sound are clear and the director of photography has framed a lot of the shots normally. The editing is mediocre, but serviceable. The plot is a mash-up of several horror tropes, which is fine, but I cannot tell if the dialogue or overall direction is the worst thing about this.

Sorry to say so, but boy The 6th Friend was a swing and a miss. How could this script possibly get green lighted is beyond me, because it has close to nothing to show for. The ending was easy to anticipate, the deaths quite weak, a lot of focus on dialogue, somewhat of a Tarantino style, but none of the substance.

It just wasn't enough to make a movie, out of a thin idea, poor execution, none of the key ingredients here, just some harsh mix of uncooked ingredients. Not good enough even for a side dish.

All in all The 6th Friend deserves more to be ignored than watched, just put your eye on something else and most likely you'll do better.

Cheers!

+1 Star for ht opening TRiP and the pizza delivery guy!! haha

-1 Star for the 'secret' being kept for so long, unbelievable that would have happened

-1 Star for the Ending... although it was kinda funny it just didn't make much sense

I donno I didn't feel the absolute hate for this one like a lot of other reviewers did. It wasn't great but it was watchable.

This movie is god awful. The acting is sub par. The plot is trite. The deaths are lame. Complete waste of time.

I had a fun time with it, my prewife disagrees. It's dumb but in a good way. Have a laugh and watch!
