Bailee Madison stars in this messy little tale which though has an explained concept (As terrible as it is) it doesn't explain itself beyond that and leaves it to the viewer to fill in the blanks.
Poorly made, terribly paced, with forgettable characters and few redeeming features this paint by numbers effort isn't terrible it's just simply not very good either.
A decent enough (Though inevitable) twist near the end saved it a point or two but even that should have been handled better.
If they make a sequel (Which is teased though I doubt it'll ever happen) I just hope everyone packs bug spray and those annoying sticky yellow tape things that catch flies! That would make the movie at least comical.
Move along, nothing to see here
The overall filmmaking is professional and the cast takes the material seriously and perform proficiently with Bailee Madison & Justin Kelly emerging as the main protagonists. Anthony Lemke is particularly effective as the detective. There's an almost "Wow!" moment at the halfway point where Wyatt (Alex Harrouch) reveals what was really going on during the confusing opening act and I hoped the rest of the movie would change my "Meh" feelings, but it was not to be.
The perplexing curse and the baffling non-creature it unleashes (a bunch of flies that sometimes morph into a partial monster) are too befuddling. If the viewer can hardly understand what's happening how can the teens in the story comprehend their life-or-death situation with any certainty?
Note to emerging filmmakers: Work the kinks out of your premise BEFORE making the movie. The director, Sheldon Wilson, needs to improve his scriptwriting skills because the movies he writes tend to be problematic story-wise ("The Hollow," "Neverknock" and "Stickman") whereas his movies written by others can be quite good for TV-budgeted flicks ("Mothman," "Red, Werewolf Hunter" and "Scarecrow," which is excellent).
The female cast is decent, but not stellar, rounded out by Kiana Madeira as Lindsay and Dani Kind as the secondary detective. Natalie Ganzhorn has a small role as Beth.
THE MOVIE RUNS 90 minutes and was shot in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
GRADE: C-
I think this movie needed a bit more depth when it comes to the curse-how it started, who created it, and why it chose that specific method of killing. It wasn't particularly scary, but it did show how friendship and love can take a dark turn between the characters. And of course, it's always ironic that it all happens on Halloween-apparently the devil's favorite playtime.
Like I said before, it's an okay film and worth a watch.
Junk like this plays better on some YouTube channel.

- Erros de gravaçãoDetective Burke hands one of the young people his business card and tells him that he can pick up his car at the impound lot "in the morning". A vehicle that was found wrecked and believed to be associated with an aggravated assault would more than likely be held for evidence processing, which could take several days. In some cases, the vehicle could be held until the case is adjudicated.
