Nix: A Entidade

I'm guessing that the writer and director had visions of a haunting family drama, but missed the mark woefully. There's something to be said for giving your audience some credit for their ability to read the room. There's no such credit here, with every character's role over-played just to make sure the viewer gets the picture of family dysfunction. At least some small degree of subtlety would have helped, and given the audience the opportunity to wait in anticipation for more character revelations. But no, the characters are thrust in your face, along with the 'spooky' character whose lurking presence does little to instil a sense of dread. There's no room here for the viewer to relate to the characters- they are so painfully over-acted and clichéd that it's downright annoying. The premise itself isn't terrible, but it is so poorly executed that it becomes unbearable.

Nowadays, there seem to be countless horror films that get the atmosphere right and offer little else. Nix has the opposite problem, while you can give the creators credit for trying to bring a very involved horror story to screen, the movie lacks any atmosphere of horror at all. It isn't scary, suspenseful or interesting in the least. The obvious lack of budget and creativity are missing. So much of great horror depends on the lighting, cinematography and a great score. Horror doesn't take place in broad daylight. The spooky basement isn't spooky in the least. It isn't long before the film becomes insufferable. The worst I can say is, I watched it with a friend who will watch most anything and he asked me to turn it off.

I approached this with no real expectations, but the description intrigued me so thought I'd give it a chance. But after 40 minutes I had to give up. This is unusual for me, as I normal will battle through to the bitter end. But the story was going nowhere, the dialogue was stilted, and the plot was just nonsensical. Most of the acting was below par. The story leaps from the initial set up, to 20 years later, but with no warning, and it took me a while to work out what was going on and who was who, now they were grown up. It just proceeded to get more confusing and I completely lost the plot and gave up. Not recommended.

The things happen too much fast. Each scene has a new drop of events and u just can't follow it through the storyline. At the end, u just don't get it what's going on. The movie starts and with 10 min, u started feeling lost in the story. It could be a good movie but has a lot of things going on and this overwhelming the experience. And the entity called Nix, makes our laugh. U just get tired to watch this movie and only wants to get to the end asap. Don't lost your time watching. The protagonist at some point got who is Nix and what he wants but you just don't get it when he understand that!!

One of the worst plots for a film I've seen in a very verylong time, and I've seen a lot of bad films. At one point we thought it would actually make a good plot and tied up some loose ends..: then went OTT and nothing made sense again.

Started off below average, and within 20 minutes makes no sense at all. Basically no story line, bad acting and laughable rather than scary.

Watched through to the end but more to see what would actually happen as had already invested time and ended up watching like a comedy.

If you want to watch a film that looks like the first AI generated film, go for it. If it was executed better, with a better plot & better acting could have actually been an averagely good 'psychological' film, but unfortunately not.

The only reason this got 2 stars is because for some reason I watched to end. What a waste of 1.5 hours.
