Don't Say Its Name

Really solid acting and filming. Great editing and production quality. Good script and storyline. The CGI and special effects make-up were also excellent. It was more of a supernatural thriller than a horror I think, but regardless, I enjoyed it.

I read the other reviews and I didn't experience any flaws, other than from the reviewers themselves.

I hope to see more content like this.

I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2021 horror movie "Don't Say Its Name". And I did so without having the slightest clue what the movie was about, aside from it being a horror movie. But it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen was sufficient to make me want to watch it.

Now, I am not by any means familiar with Inuit folklore or myths, so the whole Wheetago thing was new to me. That being said, then I will also say that writers Rueben Martell and Gerald Wexler actually managed to put together an entertaining enough movie.

But while "Don't Say Its Name" wasn't a milestone in horror cinema, not even by a longshot, then it was actually an entertaining enough movie for what it turned out to be. And I do believe that this was my very first Inuit horror movie ever seen.

The acting performances in "Don't Say Its Name" were good. And I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor that were in the movie, and that is something that I enjoy in movies.

Visually then "Don't Say Its Name" was actually surprisingly good. They definitely managed to put together the visual CGI effects well enough and that certainly added a lot to the movie.

"Don't Say Its Name" was a nice surprise, though hardly a movie that I will return to watch a second time. Nor is it movie that I would recommend horror fans to rush out to get their hands on.

Watchable, although not an outstanding movie. My rating of "Don't Say Its Name" lands on a five out of ten stars.

In this film we follow an indigenous peoples on tribal land as they try to figure out who or what has been killing family and friends in a mysterious way. This movie is definitely trying to tell a message as well . Which is welcomed but not done in very subtle ways. Acting is decent except for one white dude who plays the obvious racist -- that could have been done better too. Glad to see a "Native" American a.k.a Indigenous peoples film. Enjoyable but could have changed some things around. 5.5 out of 10 stars.

There is nothing a film can do to irk me more than have bad sound. Nothing. Poor writing and bad acting get to me less. This one really, really ticked me off. It isn't that it's muffled or poorly recorded, it's the mix. My GOD will you PLEASE bring the dialogue up in the mix and take about 30 percent or a little more off the INSANE volume of the music and sound effects? Please. Watching this late at night with everyone else asleep is an absolute nightmare. Can't hear the dialogue so you turn it up then there's music loud enough to wake the dead. Seriously, stop that. Movie wise, it's well made. Derivative, not very original but entertaining enough. Performances are good. Could have been better if I could hear more than half the dialogue over the blaring, bass heavy music.

This film was not very good. Tbh the main reason I bothered to leave a review is that this film had 100% on rotten tomatoes due to not many reviews being submitted so far. Each review was very high and gave a glowing account. Which is why was so disappointed at the awful acting.story and effects.

I should have taken more notice if the fact that the reviewers and the publications that gave such high reviews on rotten tomatoes were unknown to me and the reason this film looks like a television movie is because it has all the production quality of one.

Do yourself a favour and avoid this film and go for something rlse.
