While Rob Savage managed to deliver a spooky zoom horror film with Host - his second feature unfortunately does not deliver as much.

A big part of that is the fact that the protagonist is utterly horrible to watch. Considering the fact that the actress is not so different to the character she plays, it's not really fun watching her on screen. If the film had been able to elevate this through a great and engaging script, it might have saved this film, but sadly it didn't - so it doesn't.

The main female lead is so obnoxious, so selfish, so oblivious to anything else, so self-absorbed, and so damn American, that I wanted her to die in the first five minutes. This is why the world hates us. She also seemed to take to the role a little too easily. Is she like this in real life?

The movie is max 1 hr 19 mins and the first 20 mins is unbearable; consisting of literal human feces, obnoxious and constant singing, not to mention a super unlikable main character. Instead of being horror, the movie tries to make you squirm from needles, etc, and did I mention feces. Waste of time. Don't bother. Super obnoxious movie. I can't imagine how anyone greenlit this to go into production.

Annie Hardy is fed up of the COVID restrictions in The States, so she travels to spend time with her old college friend, Stretch. After falling out with Stretch, Annie pinches Stretch's car, and picks up a sick woman named Angela.

This was like stepping back in time about twenty years or so, when all manner of Blair Witch rip offs came out, it almost gave me a sense of nostalgia.

The film itself, may have been better if Annie had been done away with my Angela as soon as she stepped into the car, a shame all she did was mess herself.

The aforementioned mess is the exact word I'd use for this film, it's shockingly bad, I can see they'd aimed for a sort of comedy horror, but it just failed, largely because Annie was such an obnoxious idiot, hopefully she's a lot calmer in real life.

I just renewed my Sky subscription, and this was the first movie I watched, heaven help us.

Too irritating for words.

3/10.

I want my $6 back. I don't know what was worse ...the lack of an actual story or Annie Hardy's puke mouth rapping. The only I don't blame is the sweet white kitty she abandoned in the states. That poor little thing dodged a bullet.
