Lured

I think they started filming without a script....it makes no sense. It's not remotely scary. The makeup to make the people look scary feels right out of a carnival side show.....just awful. I'm not sure why I'm giving it 2 stars even....wishful thinking perhaps.

I think a high school film club can do better than this lol I finished it so it i guess it's not that bad. The story needs a lil something and the audience was spoon-fed too much. The ending shot/scene was ummmm cringy.

Found footage film about a guy visiting his online girlfriend and supernatural stuff happens. Good for the first two thirds. The last third gets boring.

It's not a bad premise; an American world traveller treks to meet an Asian girl he's been chatting up for six months.

Something is definitely off with her, but our male protagonist comes off as creepy-as in a creeper-creepy. His "acting" is terrible, I tried, but I couldn't like him at all.

The make-up on the scary actors is so, so terrible. An eight year old could have done a better job with those Halloween kits sold at grocery stores.

It's lame. I realize it's an Indy low budget attempt, but come on, try a little...

I gave it two stars because it could have been something pretty good had there been a better director, artists and actors (except Lei Wang as Kate she, at least, tried). Decent idea, very poorly executed.

I could see past the low budget.

I could see past the amateurish acting.

I could see past the moments of cringe-worthy dialogue and monologue.

I could see past the unbelievable and illogical actions of some characters.

I could see past all this and more because I felt, despite everything, there was an interesting story underneath it all.

But then, at the eleventh hour, the filmmakers decide to throw in a "plot twist" that renders everything the audience has sat through so far basically meaningless. That may have been forgivable if the twist actually added something or even made sense, but it doesnt; it's simple an attempt to be unpredictable regardless of whether or not it works.

Ultimately, this is a film I sat through because I thought it may deliver despite its shortcomings, but actually ended up disappointimg me.
