Margaux - A Inteligência Mortal

This would have been better if they didn't include CGI/VFX robot arms and white liquid. It would have made the movie more realistic and more fun to watch. With the ridiculous robot arms it was just distracting because they were just poorly done and made the whole thing seem silly instead of funny.

The characters also didn't even react much to freaking CLONES in front of them at the beginning of the movie. How can you just dismiss that and continue partying? I know some of them were stoned, but not all of them. They just giggled and continued talking like nothing fantastic happened. I know it's supposed to be a horror-comedy movie, but they should have put a bit more effort to make it less ridiculous.

Someone saw the episode of 'The Simpsons' where the Ultrahouse 3000, played by Pierce Brosnan, turns evil...and tries to kill everyone.

This is just that, ramped up to 100, in movie form...but ironically, The Simpsons' episode was only 20 minutes long, but it was still way better than this.

This had no real storyline, or character development. Full of clichés. Mediocre acting and TERRIBLE cgi!

It could almost be classed as a comedy. Awful pacing...and a horrible ending.

It did have some awesome kill scenes though!

Really starting to get annoyed with this new 600-character minimum that IMDB has implemented recently.

So even when a film has absolutely nothing worthy of talking about, we still have to stretch a review to fit the limit. Counter-productive in my opinion...as it means that a lot of reviews will be full of gibberish, just to get the numbers up!

Not Terrible, but not great either. The concept is interesting and the production is pretty good, some of the effects weren't great but they were passable. The acting for the most part was decent.

This film feels like a dress rehearsal of the movie, it has all the right elements and you get the idea and feel for it but it's just not quite all there.

The kills, again, are respectable but it doesn't quite hit the spot.

It's not amateurish but it's not quite big league. There are a lot of horror movies that are bad, this isn't one of them but again, it's not great. It's not scary but it could've been, it has the all elements but misses the mark. Watch it but don't expect much from it.

This is a very comfortable movie for those who enjoyed the commercial resurgence of horror in the 90s and early noughties.

The opening scenes are very reminiscent of Kevin Williamson's I Know What You Did Last Summer and Drew Goddard's Cabin in the Woods, with a definitive nod to the original Scream at the very beginning.

Pretty people of various stereotypes gather before Spring Break to hit a surprise location. It's all pretty cookie cutter but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

The thrills are real and deaths are unique, given the antagonist is a house (no spoiler here; that's in the preview).

There are some forgivable timing issues but the BIG lost opportunity here was to expand on what was found in the mainframe. I sincerely felt that that was the right time to delve into the origin story of Margaux and build to a more worthy conclusion.

All in all though, a worthwhile effort for what it was meant to be. Very decent 6/10

A litany of putrefied cinematic sins, sloppily contained in a thin polymer skin:

• Inane story
• Cardboard acting
• Self indulgent slo-mo interstitial sequence
• Infuriating dialogue
• Terrible effects
• Anachronistic technology with no explanation
• Strange scoring choices
• Deranged casting/geriatric 20-somethings
• Technobabble
• Non-existent cast chemistry
• Molecule-thin disposable stereotyped characters
• Redundant plot devices
• Inconsistent character behaviours
• Painfully unrewarding predictability
• Trying sooo hard for that 'R', not deserving it

Lawnmower man eat your heart out (this filmgives instructions).
