Motel Acacia

Complete garbage. Made absolutely ZERO sense. What a waste of time.

The best way to describe the film is as a disappointment. It starts off strong by setting up intrigue, but never pays it off. The creature effects and location were great. Everything else fell apart at the directorial and script level. You don't really get to know anyone or why any of this is happening, so nothing seems to matter. Peoples' attitudes and motivations constantly fluctuate in nonsensical ways, to the point where the film seems adlibbed rather than scripted. I do not recommend this one.

Nothing in the movie. What is story line I did not understand till the end and that end I could manage myself to reach there anyhow. Very boring movie. Characters are weird. You can see ugliness at many situations. No logic no story all are waste. No horror, no thrill, confused end. Never see such boring movie.

The problem with weird movies is that they are just weird, pointless, meaningless, can't be understood and the characters are behaving and speaking in an unexplained manner. Now add to this recipe a mindless and pointless plot together with bad acting and you get an spoiled stew that leaves you with a bad taste and the feeling the the joke was on you and you are the victim of this movie.

It wasn't as bad as other movies I've watched such as Fearless (the worst ever) but it was just plain bad. No plot. No logic. No explanation and no scare or horror at all.

If you want better horror - go watch 60 Minutes or CNN.....

Right, well I wasn't really sure what I was getting into here when I sat down to watch the 2019 movie "Motel Acacia", except for it being a horror movie. And being an avid fan of the horror genre, of course I sat down to watch this movie, as I hadn't already seen it.

Turns out that I might have skipped on it, because this movie was not good. In fact, it was so lacking in entertainment value that I really don't fully understand the purpose of the storyline. It was just a mess of a storyline, especially because nothing was properly explained or revealed.

Especially the setting of the movie made absolutely no sense to me. Where in the world was this supposed to be taking place? I just couldn't grasp that, and it just added to the confusion of an already befuddled storyline.

The acting in the movie, however, was adequate at least. But that hardly mattered, because the movie was so weighed down by a dubious and questionable storyline and script.

Visually then "Motel Acacia" was actually quite good. The effects were rather nice for a movie such as this. And I will say that the creature designs were definitely nice. But again, the special effects and CGI team could only muster so little to make amends for the movie's massive shortcomings.

All in all, "Motel Acacia" is not worth the time or effort, much less the money. I am rating it a generous three out of ten stars - mostly because of the visuals and acting. I managed to sit through the entire movie, but this is not a movie that I will ever be returning to for a second viewing.
