This movie subverted my expectations because it didn't have a lot of the faults I associate with modern low-budget cinema. It was competently filmed and edited. The actors were well directed. They spoke to each other naturally and at times it felt like watching real people. So what's the problem then? Well, I don't want to give spoilers but let's just say that for a viewer to be invested in a film the viewer has to feel like they are watching something that approximates reality. OR if one is watching something that is supposed to be fantasy, one at least has to have a grasp of the rules that apply to that fantastical universe. Otherwise it would be a free for all, right? Anything can happen. Nothing means anything. Does anyone every really want to sit and hear a detailed account of someone else's dream? Probably not... but why? I would argue because there aren't any stakes involved. If your best friend show up at your door and says "A guy just tried to kill me." your reaction is going to be very different than if he/she says "Last night I dreamed that a guy tried to kill me." It is for that reason that I argue that this movie was dead in the water (heh heh) from concept. There is smart writing, funny writing and scary writing in this movie but the fabric that holds it all together is a massive dud. You can try to flesh out realistic characters with unique backstories all day long but if the promised entertaining events that happen to them don't make sense... can't make sense... DON'T HAVE ANY MEANINGFUL STAKES WHATSOEVER... well, you get it. It's an unfortunate dud.

A boring, dull, witless waste of time, energy and money spent to make this. "VR" isn't really even used in a creative way, the kills are dull, the drama is empty. Just stay CLEAR of this movie in full, skip it. Its not fun. Its nothing but dead and dull. YAWN.

What else can be said? This is just no fun to watch, no scares, no thrill, no anything. Watch a bunch of people argue with each other, you get better drama from a reality tv show then this rot.

DULL CITY SNOOZE VILE.

The cabin is pretty I guess. Thats about it although we only see like two rooms. No one sleeps or makes out, just a dull film.

I decided to watch this movie on the plane. Before my flight, I had never even heard of it. I thought the writing/acting was actually quite funny. Although slightly unrealistic, I did like the concept. I think the people that gave this movie terrible ratings may have been expecting something different. The fact that I went in with zero expectations helped me to enjoy the movie. You can definitely tell this movie was of lower budget but everything was done extremely well. If you are going to watch this movie go in like me, with zero expectations and a clean slate. Don't think of this movie as anything more than a dark comedy.

I was sitting in my bedroom, laptop on my lap, wondering what I could find to watch on YouTube. Checked out some shorts, craft ideas, etc. And then Clearmind popped up. The artwork for the movie was pretty cool, so before I looked anything up for reviews, I would give it a shot. Well it is a very slow going movie, the action scenes leave you "ho-humming" and the acting was not necessarily bad, but definitely needed upgrading in some spots. The main issue besides all of that was the fact that within the first 15 minutes of the movie, I completely configured the plot and the ending, and that is one of the things I hate when I watch something new like this. At that point I had to force myself to watch it, just to make sure I was right. I recommend you to go to YouTube to watch it, since it is free and you don't need the premium account or anything. Your best bet is when it is rainy outside, all the chores are done and you have nothing else to do, check it out. You may not make it through the whole thing before clicking on a craft idea or one of the shorts. Good Luck.

I totally enjoyed this movie as it was different then most of the horror comedy coming out lately in the last few years. Writing is fun and the acting is great from some familiar faces you've seen across streamers over the years. The lead played by Rebecca Crescoff was amazing in that HBO show Hung, if anyone remembers that. Here she is a totally different character with a dark side of sadness. Or whats his face Kadeem from A Different World and the short lived Moonhaven is also funny, married to a pill of a women. All these character interactions created by the writer present like a play, letting the characters relationships development like a dramady, saving the action and the light-twist for Act 3 - instead of the more popular horror comedys that play out in a typical fashion.

Worth the watch!
