The Shed

I love horror movies, especially tense ones and I enjoyed this one a lot. It has some very tense moments, I was on the edge of my seat several times.

It also has a good story line. Definitely has an 80s vibe to it which I loved.

It had plenty of scenes that simply didn't make sense and pretty obvious what type of things were about to happen all throughout the movie. However there was a bit of a plot twist in the end.

The two things that seemed unbearably nonsensical to me, is, (one) if you have a vampire living in your wooden shed on a farm, far away from people, why in heavens would you not set it ablaze during one of the many sunny days available?

Secondly, even though the vampire wronged the main character, the vampire seems to have a personal vendetta out for him for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

There's no backstory, so you really don't know what's the deal with the vampire population. Is it just the one at the beginning, what are the rules, etc

I believe this must be the first feature for this writer and director so they will continue to grow and learn and get better from this. The lead actor was great and they scored with him, he is from Death Note. The script is slow at times, very cliche and not really current with 2019 and how teenagers act. More like teenagers in the 1990s or 80s. Things are different now. If they had based the story in the 90s that would have worked better. I thought the makeup in the climax scene was very cool.

This one screened at some cool film festivals and had some cool people involved so my expectations were a little high but I was not entirely disapointed with the film. Some of it felt amateuish but other parts were quite interesting. I liked the kinda fresh take on vampire movies but felt that the bullying themes were a little on the nose and annoying.

I liked it. Nice chilled and easy movie to watch. Wasn't anything exciting, but wasn't boring either. Gave me some Colin Farrell Fright Night vibes too
