The 6th Friend

Intelligently written, believable female conversations may not be every horror fan's cup of tea, but it's not only a refreshing change from the norm, it aids to help suspend disbelief.

Yes, on the surface it is a standard 'friends in a log cabin being picked off one by one' story, and yes, the volume of dialogue might slow things down a little, but this all makes it seem like a situation you could imagine being in, despite its formulaic plot.

It also has a nice touch in commenting on the nature of today's like-driven narcissistic society.

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!

I enjoy slow burn horror, but this wasn't that. The 6th Friend is a by-the-books paint by number cardboard cutout of a horror movie, and that seems almost intentional. If you have ever seen a horror movie, then you have seen this one. And you can rest assured that what you have already seen was better. It takes dedication and genuine effort to stay awake for the duration of this movie, and sleep is much more entertaining.

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

Not sure how this has got 10/10 and 8/10. There is nothing scary nor jumpy about this, and the Killers identity is very evident. The Plot is weak as is the dialogue. One reviewer claimed is was a Supernatural Slasher film - there is absolutely nothing supernatural in this. Just a run-of-the-mill slasher film with nothing new .... my true rating would be 3.5 as i am feeling generous
