Calm Before

I like a good slow burn thriller. I hate a glacially paced, poorly directed, sloppily written, amateurishly filmed mess. This one checks all those boxes. Add in a few pointless characters and silly subplots and you have the makings for a real stinker. Three out of ten is generous and is ONLY awarded for a decent performance from the female lead.

Try a new recipe, take a walk, call a friend you haven't heard from in a while, meditate and get in touch with your inner self. Maybe, just maybe, read a book? Do anything but waste your time. A glowing group of reviews (not the February cluster) ALWAYS signals a desperate attempt by hose involved in the film or their friends to pump air into a hopelessly flat tire....

How someone could fund such a complete load of rubbish is beyond me, the film wasted 1.49mins of our lives and left us saying "what the hell was it about"

I've been in the film industry for 19 years. I've judged a lot of films for festivals and had a film festival and I still have a virtual festival. So I don't like giving bad reviews, but unfortunately this was not a well made film. The filmmaker tried to make a film crossing to many genres and it didn't work. Was it a horror, drama, psychological thriller, infidelity, woman scorned? What was it? This was not done well. Hopefully the filmmaker learned some valuable lessons regarding genre and audience. Making a film for everyone means you've made a film for no one. So good luck watching this film.

This movie started our suspenseful and interesting. As it went on, it unfortunately started to feel very drawn-out and a little bit all over the place. Some people are commenting that the movie didn't make sense - I think it did, but there were too many attempts at cliffhangers and twists and turns that it just lost my interest at some point. I stuck it out until the end but ended up feeling disappointed.
