They Live in the Grey

Wasn't expecting much from this, but it was quite good, the acting wasn't that good, but the atmosphere is there and it makes up for it. 6/10, not a great movie but not a bad one either.

I came into this expecting a horror based on the synopsis but all I got was a sad film of a woman dealing with grief while occasionally a glass moves.

Boring, trite and (frankly) depressing this was not what I expected or wanted and, while Michelle Krusiec's acting was great, it couldn't carry this film for me.

I could be wrong but this film is suffering from a lack of editing. It feels like it's intentional. Trying to be more psychological in its pacing, but it's actually just taking a really long time to achieve something that it doesn't achieve. It's not bad, it's just treating the story as if it's wholly original in concept. It's not. The first hour can be summed up in 20 minutes max. If it started from there, Probably a 6.5 (7)/10.

Look, this isn't anything new and revolutionary. You've seen similar in a dozen other movies

But , for a shudder original made for their service horror flick , it's a hell of a lot better than I figured it would be.

I was interested enough to want to stick around and unravel things

The acting was not exceptional, but it was decent enough. The " twist" wasn't anything I didn't see coming. In fact I saw it awhile back but figured that was too simplistic so I second guessed myself into some crazy complicated ideas. Nope. Not sixth sense haha

It's a good time killer with a good creepy vibe. Nothing you'll be telling your friends about , but a good way to spend an evening relaxing.

Definitely a slow burn and acting was poor at times. Could have been 30 mins shorter and still been the same film. Ending was good though with a nice twist. All in all I enjoyed it.
