Apparitions

Another worst film! Full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Avoid at all cost!

By far the worst movie I've ever watched in my life If you want to waste your time, and I mean waste it to the point that there is not a single net benefit, this is your movie.

With unoriginal scenes, poor acting skills, and just a terrible plot- this movie has managed to make amazed at just how AWFUL a movie can be.

I saw this film premiere at the Monster Film Festival in Melbourne. It was the first cinema screening I had been to in a very long time due to the pandemic and it didn't disappoint. As I sat in my seat in the sold out cinema with choc top and popcorn in hand I was excited!

The film is a horror but I did find myself laughing out loud a few times at the scenarios, dialogue and characters, it reminded me of the horrors I was forced to watch as a kid in the 80s by my older siblings, and for me it even had a Freddy Kruegar reference, which was brilliant!

Along with the LOL moments, I did also jump a few times in my seat, have to hide my eyes from being scared and was creeped out by the story. I really enjoyed the vulnerable and quirky character of Marlee played by Kristina Benton and believed the relationship between her and her husband Tom, played by Stefan Dennis and Don Bridges is always a delight to see on the big screen (as always) this time playing the local pub drunk.

Without giving too much away, I liked the twist in the plot, the killer was a simple outcome, but wasn't obvious to me making it believable.

I always enjoy Perri Cummings writing and the banter between characters was a highlight in the film and definitely played to an audience like me who grew up with 80s horror film. Perri also plays the detective and this bad ass bikey chic who has the best one liners in the script is ALWAYS a winner for me! As I was leaving the cinema, a colleague said "That played like a rocket" and he was right, this film had a great set up of characters, relationships, genre and world and then then increased rapidly and suddenly combusted into a climatic finish that was full of gore, emotion and a bit of humorous fun.

I saw this last year in Melbourne at Cinema Nova. It feels like those old school, pulpy genre films you rented on VHS growing up in the 90s, which I love! It's not a hard horror, more of a thriller/mystery with some great writing, funny moments and really enjoyable characters - particularly the three female leads.

I'm a horror, mystery, thriller, scary movie/show type of gal. I almost passed this one up due to the low ratings, but decided what the heck, and here we are. If I have any complaint, I didn't really see how the ending tied in with the story. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at the backstory should've been better developed.

Was the acting amazing? No..but it wasn't horrible either. Some of the plotline was pretty preposterous, but its a fictional movie! There were a few nods to some of the 1980's era horror movies, which were pretty clever.

I watched the movie on a streaming channel that forces you to put up with commercials. If I have to abide them, the movie better be at least decent..this one was. I give it a solid 6/10.

Have you ever been pulled into a conversation by someone you really don't like, but you speak to them anyway because you don't want to be rude? Adding on to that, they're REALLY boring and just drone on and on and on without ever getting to the point-THAT'S what this movie is like! The movie has a good storyline, but that's where it ends. The actors aren't much above the talent of high school drama students, the directors allow camera shots to linger so long on the actors faces, etc., that it almost makes you feel awkward and uncomfortable watching. The sound is so bad that I wonder if the boom guy had a hangover. The music reminded me of B movies in the 70's. Unfortunately, I can't even list this as a B movie! Don't waste your time.
