Morbid

While the idea of the movie was good, they did a terrible job doing it. Awful actors, no screaming what so ever, the effects were the worst and they did not even explain some stuff in the movie. They could have done a better job with the game idea.

The actresses where terrible, they did not even know how to scream properly or give the movie emotion. I hardly put "1" rate to a movie, but this one diserve it. The actress with the lantern was ridiculous because you could see everything perfectly.

To be a 70min movie it was very slow, it need it emotion and suspense and some of the things that happened did not even make any sense.

Plot

A group of friends at a Halloween party play a Japanese board game called Morbid - where answers to the game could mean the difference between life and death.

Cast

Zero familiarity with anyone involved, and most were truly awful

Verdict

There's a sub-genre of horror I love, namely where people are thrown into a deadly game. Whether it be Cube, Circle, The Human Race, Would You Rather or one of countless others. I was excited for Morbid as it's another one, but boy it's not on the same level.

The first thing you notice is how cheap it all feels, the cast come across as untrained, the effects are pretty much non-existent, the kills are some of the worst I've seen in a long while and the plot is random imagery with absolutely no coherence.

I watched it with the missus and we both were in awe at the absolute mess we were witnessing.

I don't know what can be said other than I recommend it, as something to avoid.

Rants

Anyone seen Circle? That was a hell of a film, can be found on Netflix I believe or at least it can in the UK I think. Another movie with a bunch of people who wake up in a strange place and are forced to play a game of death where there can only be one winner. Full of moral and ethical choices it's fascinating, entertaining and one that keeps you thinking long after. Basically it's everything Morbid is not.

Breakdown

All feels cheap Terrible kills Plot is dreadful.

Ashlynn Cox is from my hometown but hmmm...Maybe hemorrhoid commercials. I should have given this a 1 star rating but, I watched it all the way to the end so I gave it a 2 star. The ladies are very. Easy on the. Eyes is the only plus.

Bad! Really bad! Cult classic bad!

I found this a fairly decent movie. Granted the actresses did lack some kind of emotion and feeling, but giving them the benefit of the doubt, I think they made the movie work with the overall feel of it, and all actors have to start somewhere right?

The concept of the game itself is a really clever and original idea. I think if they had just a slightly higher budget it could have been depicted in a more graphic matter, considering the context of the game itself.

Definitely something that can be re-made into something that could rival Ouija if the budget is high enough. Id love to see a remake with few known faces to see how much of a good film it could actually be.

I didn't even bother to rent this. I added to my watch list and after coming here to check the ratings/watching the trailer, I knew it was one of those films. Those that you can tell just from the trailer that it is low budget, odd acting, everthing.

This gets a 1 star from me because of the obvious misleading rating score. FYI to Director, producer, whoever: doing this does not help you. It rips your credibility apart. Start accepting real reviews from people you've never met and strengthen/grow your skillsets from it.
