Exit 0

The app I used to find Exit 0 classified it as horror. It's not. It kept me entertained to the end. I thought it was a enticing story, but I still don't know the story-accurately. Maybe I missed a major, but small scene. If I say more, then it would a spoiler. I think it's fair to say, it's not that memorable.

The basic plot of this film is solid. It feels almost like a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode. Unfortunately, the decent plot is foiled by amateur cinematography, poor sound, uncomfortably awkward dialog, and weak editing. 1. Cinematography looks like it was shot on a camcorder. Color grading is mismatched throughout the film. Several outdoor scenes have blown out highlights. There's also an awkwardly shot scene with the main character and the detective where the 180 degree rule is broken multiple times and it's jarring to say the least. 2. Lots of scenes are shot with noisy room dialogue. 3. The dialogue is not like natural speech. Characters deliver their lines with awkward pauses waiting for the next character to deliver their lines. Not at all like people really speak. 4. This film needs to be cut down by 30 to 45 minutes. Far too much dead time on the screen with nobody speaking.

Bottom line - good premise with bad execution.

The film was slow most the way but still intriguing. Then when you get to the end nothing is explained. So it feels like then why did I just invest in this? It will have you scratching your head...and for that I can't rate it any higher. It seemed to pull pieces from other films and just didn't know which direction it was gonna go. I have seen much better. I have seen much worse. I felt the male lead did fairly well for what he had. Everyone else I didn't really but it. I get to scratch this one off the watchlist. Though I probably won't be going back for a second helping. At least not anytime soon anyway. C-

If you like weird "Twighlight Zone" atmospheric movies that unnerve you then you will enjoy this. Acting is good all round. I guessed the ending about 2/3 the way through but that's ok. Listen, we're in weird times and if you want to escape them, turn down the lights and watch this movie.

Honestly the fact that it has a 5.5 at 19 thousand ratings is astounding to me. This movie does not deserve that high a rating. The acting was mediocre at best. They emoted somewhat, and at least hit their lines and marks. There is a bit of inteigue to draw you in but its just not worth it. The whole premise is easily figured out within the first 20 minutes, and then it just draws out what could have all been done in the span of half an hour.

Truthfully it fizzled out. There was lots of potential for this to have been a good movie but they just completely dropped the ball.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
