R BnB

I loved this thriller. It was filmed in the Hudson Valley where I live. I loved how they captured our beautiful fall foliage. They picked the perfect spot for this movie. It was so suspenseful. I was on the edge of my seat. I stay in Airbnb's often, now I will be looking for cameras. The hosts of the Airbnb in this movie were so creepy. They picked the perfect actors to portray them. I have watched Gloria Mann in other things and loved her. You will love Gloria Mann in this she did not disappoint. Gloria Mann played the perfect overbearing, overprotective sister. Great movie to watch on a rainy fall afternoon.

I'll just preface this review by saying it is incredibly rare for me to rate horror movies anything below 4 stars. I try to give low budget movies the benefit of the doubt for at least trying. You can check my past ratings and see that generally I don't write any reviews on here at all and I almost never rate below 4 stars. I decided to make an exception for this 'movie.'

This isn't typical a 'low budget' indie horror movie. I enjoy low budge horrors especially when they are able to punch above their weight. Alas this isn't a low budget horror movie, this is just cheap junk. I actually paid $2 to rent it... which is $3 more than it should be.

To start with the acting is incredibly wooden, like the actors probably have no experience acting in a film of any kind. You know those high school and college film projects where people just get their friends and random people on campus to act in their project? Yeah, that's basically the quality of acting in this movie.

Also, it appears to be directed and edited by someone who is a very amateur filmmaker and doesn't have much knowledge at all about film editing or directing. This movie has so many poorly done cuts and scene transitions that it breaks any potential for immersion.

Basically, anyone who gives this movie anything above 5/10 is almost certainly part of the making of this film and should be embarrassed.

A review for "Robert Mann's R BnB" (Mannatee Films)starring Ryon Thomas, Bryanna McQueeney, Gloria Mann, Agnes Artych, Alex Galick and Marco Reese Maldonado: An enjoyable thriller that just dropped on multiple streaming platforms, with the unfolding story punctuated by flashbacks, adding to the overall tension.

In a post-modern play on the classic "Old Dark House" motif, an affluent New York couple visiting an Air B&B too late realizes that they're being secretly video recorded by a murderous couple, with a Hitchcockian reveal at the end. Filmed in New York's beautiful but brooding Hudson Valley region during the autumn, the excellent cinematography by film veteran Al Satterwhite raises the film to a higher standard than one might expect. With a wonderfully creepy old Dutch-style gate house as the eponymous B & B, this reminds of the old Hammer Films horrors.

The creepy Kylo (played by Alex Galick, of Fractured) and absolutely unhinged Aubree (played by Savannah Whitten, of Impossible Monsters and Lilith) are standout characters, but the absorbing loner character of Jennifer Davies, the tough, overprotective sister of the protagonist (grippingly and powerfully played by Gloria Mann of Point Break, The Lennon Report, The Cassie Confession) is an especially welcome release to the building tension.

Overall, R BnB is a new thriller well worth watching.

Honestly, I think the plot and movie itself was great! It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat! I really enjoyed the unpleasantness of the story line. Absolutely appalling ending, which I also loved! Wasn't expecting exactly how it ended, which I find rare for me most of the time. I don't think I've seen another movie quite like it. If anything, I believe what the movie really lacked was good transition visuals. The movie jumps around in the timeline, but the edits for the transitions weren't great, which could cause some confusion and possibly a disliking for the movie overall. Although as I said, the plot was great. Kept me on my toes, not to mention the acting was amazing! I definitely recommend watching for a spooky, chilling vibe.

R BnB is a solid indie thriller that fires on all cinematic cylinders.

Artfully directed by Robert Mann, (who also is credited as the writer and editor), takes us on a fantastically twisted ride that is reminiscent of Hitchcock and "Get Out". The movie holds you, enrapt from it's gorgeous opening and heart pounding music by Bart Hendrickson, to it's surprising end. The entire cast is first rate: Ryon Thomas, Bryanna McQueeney, Alex Galick, Savannah Whitten, Marco Reese-Maldonado, Agnes Artych and especially Gloria Mann (Point Break, The Lennon Report, The Cassie Confession) (who plays Thomas's protective sister) who gives a stunningly powerful performance highlighted by her martial art skills; it is not to be missed!

The beautiful cinematography is by Al Satterwhite We have all stayed at an Air BnB, but I guarantee after watching R BnB, you will think twice before staying at another one.
