Murder on the Cape

WOWSERS, I just joined IMDB to review this, I can not beleive Netflix bought this piece of garbaaaage. You know how in movies sometimes an actor is actually portraying an actor, and they intentionally need to make their acting look bad and as if they are reading a script with the wrong inflections, etc. Well that's what this movie sounds like over and over again, as if the actors were trying to sound as if they were bad actors, like the are pissed at the producer for the horrible scripts and want to make this a flop. I almost wonder if this film is intentionally trying to be the biggest worst movie ever just so people will share it as the disaster it is, like Sharknado or something. The script and story line though, soooo bad.

Hey Crab Man. Hey Earl. These two sentences have more plot and are more exciting than anything you will see in this movie. Were it not for the fact that this is based on a true story and someone was actually killed it would be funny. The camera work was done by someone who seems to think that every shot must fill the frame with a face so close to the camera that you can actually smell the mediocrity. In one shot the director seems to have gone out of his way to fill whatever space was left around the actors bulbous face with a plain white background. You can imagine him shouting "A little more to the left! It doesnt work unless there is absolutely NOTHING behind him!" This does nothing to distract from riveting dialogue such as when the female victim tells her love interest "I want to see you again" to which he replies, "Alright" and leaves.

The best part of the whole movie was the drug peddling townie loser, who I hope to God was actually baked out of his mind to have spent this much energy on this piece of crap and that he no longer remembers making it.

I rated this two stars only because for the first 15 minutes I couldn't stop laughing at the poor production value of this made as a high school project movie. The other 75 minutes were like a prostate exam only without the feeling that you did something good for yourself when it was over.

Acting? Plot? The dead tuna was the best actor in the whole movie.

I'm not sure if they hired mentally handicapped people as some kind government program or they just stumbled across a bunch of locals fresh off a paint huffing binge but I don't think anyone in front of the camera is a professional actor. No, seriously. There are at least 3 cast members on drugs or they have OCD.

The writing is awful, the plot makes zero sense, the characters' behavior is unrelated from scene to scene. And through it all the sound track is the same Lifetime movie sad piano. No matter what is going on. I'm not even sure there WAS a director.

My family cannot forgive me for choosing this movie. The storyline was both slow and also rushed. It seems that there was no director in the movie and the actors took turns to film different scenes themselves. Valuable data download was lost as we watched this whilst on holidays. There was obviously not much of a budget for this movie as the same clothes were constantly worn and the actors seemed to be random locals rather than professionals.

The camera would pan in and out of focus and the scenes would cut from one to another with no flow of the storyline.

It's such a shame as it sounded like a great storyline. I have never written a movie review in my life however felt it was imperative to warn people to not watch it. The only good thing about this movie was the way my family bonded over the terrible acting and directing.

P.S Don't forget to do a Where's Wally to find the one extra they could afford to pay that appears randomly in scenes.
