All Girls Weekend

A solid contender for a spot in the top 10 worst movies I've ever seen - and I watch a lot of low-budget indie productions, particularly in the horror genre.

Combining the worst of a Blair Witch vibe with wooden acting and an utterly banal script and characters so paper-thin it's surprising they can stand, "All Girls Weekend" makes The Human Centipede look like it deserves an Oscar in comparison.

I saw in another review, this movie allegedly had a $1million budget - I find that hard to believe. I don't know, but if it's true it was a staggering waste of money and I can't fathom what they even spent it on.

The set is a small section of woods outdoors, save a couple of brief shots right at the start in a hotel room and a room in an abandoned building later on. The lighting, effects and production quality are all at a level you'd expect from a shoestring budget amateur production.

The plot is threadbare and what little is there doesn't make sense. Without putting in any spoilers (not that you could "spoil" this awful movie for anyone) - at one point there's a bit where there's a shot of a bear that is possibly stock footage, seeing as you don't see it in a shot with any of the cast.

Please don't waste your time with this. It was horrific, but not horror. I don't know what else to say.

I'm not even gonna lie. I started following the director on Face Book. Thought I'd support females in the biz. She pumped up this film with all the "awards" and where it was released I got all excited when it popped up on Prime. After 10 minutes I thought it must be a different film. It's beyond amateurish. Flat angles, lighting, just all bad. Dumb script. Literally makes no sense. No cohesion. It's as if they're written over night.

From the looks of reviews on this film and others, the director is either delusional or just a complete fraud. I get having dreams and trying to sell yourself in Hollywood, but I'd be embarrassed to have my name attached to this one. Definitely wouldn't be bragging and giving myself a pat on the back for how quickly I write scripts and pump out films if this is the result.

Assuming you've read the other reviews on this page, I'm skipping all the diatribe about that the budget was supposedly $1,000,000. Yes, for that amount of money this should have been much better. However, as a low budget, bare-bones horror film, it really wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I have certainly seen worse films with better reviews. The story is simple, yet ambitious, and if it fails to live up to that ambition, well...better luck next time.

The editing was iffy, the acting spotty (sometimes decent, sometimes bad), but the location is visually appealing and little things made it somewhat enjoyable to watch, if only once. I won't use spoilers, but the progression of the second-to-main character is actually fairly subtle and interesting. If you watch the beginning and the end you'll see what I mean.

In sum, is this a great film? No. Is it the worst possible film ever made? No. I found it on YouTube and the comments there are much more forgiving, perhaps because they didn't read these reviews first.

The premise is reasonable but the acting was terrible. The emotions of all the characters was very "canned". I would compare the quality of the acting to that of a middle school play. I hung in there until the end just to see the whole point of the story. It was pretty much a waste of time although luckily I didn't have anything else to do at the time anyway.

This movie has very little to it, there are just some women in some woods walking around and sometimes talking, then sometimes there are some creepy whispers. That is actually it.

Sometimes you have so little budget that you have to cut corners, but this film takes it way too far. You can do so much more, just have good characters and interesting dialogue. Instead this is just a boring slog that does very little to entertain you.

Overall I wouldn't bother with this one, there is nearly nothing going on and it's not even like the film tries to sell itself with skin or gore as both are sparse here too. No good.
