CAÇADA FANTASMA

If you are A bit older and have seen a lot of horror movies befor. Then this movie isn't that scary, but thats just my opinion. I wasn't scared at all.

The younger once in the audience on the other hand, screamed like crazy.

I probably had too high expectations for the filmand thought it would be more like the program Spökjakt whit more equipment and background history of the place they investigated. But for being A swedish horror movie it was quite ok, i hade hoped for more jump scares and to be really scared. Better luck next time. But go and see the movie and decide for yourself What you think of it, mabye you Will be scared , the taste is so diffrent from person to person.

I managed to miss Joakim Lundells last movie while it aired, and after seeing Cancelled, I'm glad I did.

This abomination of a "movie" lacks in pretty much every aspect it could. The plot is uninspired and dull, which makes the ending very easy to foresee. The acting is half-assed, forced and manages to feel childish at times. We won't see these actors go anywhere big anytime soon, hopefully never. But is it even their fault? The script was doomed from the beginning.

It's really just a rehash of common horror characteristics and tropes, this movie adds nothing to a genre already clad in poor attempts at making the viewer nostalgic to better films.

The ending doesn't make sense either, I'm not going to mention any spoilers, but it feels like the writers had a case of writers block, and it shows.

Is it scary though? A poorly written horror flick can be saved by good atmosphere and well made jumpscares. Cancelled has neither. It's campy as all hell, without trying to be. The setting, an old abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere looks like a studio. Everything looks "broken down and creepy" in a planned way, old children's toys can never cover up that a movie just isn't scary. Regarding the jumpscares, they're bad, and very easy to call out well before they happen.

I could sit here for an hour mentioning logical fallacies in the film, but that does not really serve a purpose. It's a cheap attempt and a scary film, and it fails miserably.

Are there any positives? Eh, the sound design is fine, and most of the camera work is well done. But overall, this film is lacking.

Better luck next time Joakim.

This movie can not even compare to the first movie Joakim Lundell did in 2022. This movie is well done, has multipel jumpscars, and it is really scary. This is a movie that i wont forget. Some of the scenes really got under my skin.

I dont understand the person who left det previous review, be cause i that the opposite, that the movie Feed was a bit predictable at times, and not det best Joakim Lundell has done, but that was also his first movie. And now in this new movie canceled, it shows how much he has grown as a producer. I can only speculate how the next movie will be, but one thing is forsure that im going to se it.

I don't understand why this movie is being given such a low rating.

The special effects are good. The story is not bad.

The actors didn't do a bad job.

The plot twist is interesting.

As for the overall pacing, it's a very moderate horror: there are no over-the-top scenes.

The ending is good, the ending is in line with what the whole story proposes.

Perhaps the biggest flaw I find in it is having a slow and not at all promising start.

But as the story progresses, it gets better.

Why does it have such a low score? I don't understand.

I'm not saying it's a perfect movie: but of the ones I've seen between 2023 and 2024, I don't consider it a bad movie at all.

I'm going to try to make up for all those low scores by giving it my all. Watch this movie and you'll see that it's not that bad.

Feed was bad but in a good way and still entertaining, this however was not.

Very poorly written and executed. The high definition video footage from the 70s which seemed to be self-stalking a family should have been a plot of it's own (and might have been a better movie).

I don't think I saw a facial expression change once except maybe the Polly girl. It was like they had scarfaced in Botox-needles before shooting.

Still don't really know why they named it "Cancelled". There was some talk about the main characters loosing sponsorship from a pan pizza company but that was literally it.

I wish I could cancel this movie and get my money back.
