Flay

Didn't have much expectation but it's much better than I thought. I'd rather watch more "horror" movies that are treated like thrillers like this one than the same bloody thrashers.

FLAY. FLAY. FLAY! I wish there were a little more blood and violence to really nail it in, but it does seem purposeful that the movie was going for the suspense and thrill. It works.

It seems like a fun little movie that my daughter enjoyed (she's 11 and she likes horror movies) I made sure there's nothing too violent and it's not. Flay has the right amount of thrills and jump scares for her.

I normally wouldn't bother reviewing a movie this bland but since no one else has bothered so far, I'll take a few minutes and maybe save someone else 90 mins.

A junkie mother dies under mysterious circumstances which the movie in not one but two cold opens assures us was supernatural. After that, her daughter has to return home to settle some affairs and care for her rebellious teenage brother. The supernatural force which is barely Slender Man starts menacing them in a series of whatever scares that might land for very young viewers.

The acting, the story, everything is just unmemorable. It's not even that the movie is remarkably bad. It's just blah. When you picture grade Z horror made by people that were neither exceptionally incompetent nor remotely talented, this is exactly the movie you see.

The music gives me the creeps. The muted colors and the splash of red scenes are perfect for the mood. Loved every moment of it.
