Shelter in Place

I watched this about a week before it came out. Been sitting here waiting to give this movie one star, which was only available to do so today, as it was the official release date.

This movie is bad. And I mean really bad. So bad it hurts because you realize you could have been doing anything better than wasting your time watching it. If you spent money on this movie, then great job getting clowned, because at least I didn't give them a single penny. You on the other hand have to live with the fact that you wasted actual money on it! Haha! Scream into that pillow for me later tonight when you try to sleep.

There was some great build up in this movie, and then the ending just sort of happens. Why is it happening? Oh, you're going to love the non-excuse they give, which amounts to the degenerate "Somehow Palpatine has returned" line from the recent Star wars dumpster fire.

Look, in short, because I don't want to spoil it and have my review hidden, this movie is not a movie. It's just something that people happened to film over the course of a week or whatever, and then somehow managed to actually string it all together. The scenes make no sense together. There is not real plot because the way it was filmed was nothing more than random scenes that could narrowly be spliced together to form a modicum of coherency.

Do not waste your time, and do your duty and give this movie the 1 star it deserves. I imagine the creators are going to see this, and I just wanted to say directly to them, "This is a cry for help; you lack serious skill and talent. I would say you should probably just get used to the idea of working at McDonalds, but I would be concerned if I saw you making my food."

Finally seeing reviews of a film where 100% of the first 15 reviews are fake (aka first-timers/friends of the film). It was watchable, but very boring almost all the way through. No sensible ending or backstory just makes you feel like a potato for watching it.

This movie is a slow burn and I mostly like the first 2/3's of it. It's a newlywed couple stuck sheltering in an empty hotel where they're the only guests and there are only two people on staff. After a few weeks of this, they're going a little crazy.

I dig all of that.

But then the ending happens...and it really just makes zero sense. It tries to be wild unexpected and it tries to make you question what is real and what isn't. What ends up happening is this odd ending that comes completely out of left field and makes zero sense.

Skip this movie, it's not worth your time.

Unless you're extremely bored and haven't yet had enough pandemic themed streaming content, this is an utter waste of time. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

1.5/10 rounded up to 2 stars.

The movie is horrible.

Looks like they didnt bother to ask the Hollywood Roosevelt permission to film there. All the shots are like voyuer as if they were hiding in the bushes.

It's a dumb story with third rate actors and poorly directed. Nothing really happens it's so freaking slow.

Not worth your time at all.
