Don't Look Away

This movie is like It Follows, except C rated and just awfully put together. It's like an hour and a half long "horror" youtube short. No pop ups. Only way to watch is getting absolutely blitzed out of your mind and laugh at the corniness. The whole time the movies audio sounds like it's recorded from an iPhone. Writing this review in the theatre because it's also empty. That should have been a sign to not watch this movie lol. It's literally the horror game weeping angel. Who the hell thought to make it a movie and downplay the hell out of it?!? If I had it in me I'd go get a manager for a refund but it's after 11 and you can never find an employee except some random 14 year old who don't know nothing.

Although it was a valiant effort by the cast, the production quality is not good. The sound is very tinny and distorted. It appears to be a knock off of It Follows. The script plods along and there is no real development. The mannequin is silly's and the editing very choppy and sometimes doesn't make sense.

The direction is interesting and as I said, the actors do a nice job. It's a nice suspense piece. I would not really classify this as horror. As I said it's suspenseful and the mannequin makes it otherworldly.

I am not a film professional and only giving it my opinion as a horror and suspense fan.

The second I laid eyes on what the movie is about I immediately thought about SCP foundation. You know the one. They have a wiki with a lot of crazy and creepy stuff. It was an okay-ish try to make something out of the concept, if that was intended. If not, this is a sorry excuse and a rip off. A bad rip off. I want to think that it was thought out to use the concept in good intentions. Cause SCP's are creepy. This was not creepy.. at all. The actors where actually good, and made a good effort. But over all I didn't like this. I don't regret watching it though. It's a good Monday evening brain collapsing watch if you are bored. But I will never recommend it to anyone, and I will never watch it again.

I was enjoying this until the last ten minutes or so when it seemed that the script ended too soon and someone had to jump in and finish the movie at whatever cost to what went on before...

I was not a big fan of It Follows, didn't really care for the entire concept of the movie once the initial theme was established, so while I can agree that this is reminiscent of that film, Don't Look Away also has its own lore and its own strange engulfing vibe that kept going all through the film until the unfortunate ending.

I could think of several ways this could have ended, but the ending that was settled on really felt totally out of place with the rest of the film.

Thought it was really stupid, in fact I feel like the filmmakers were hoping i was stupider than the movie so that i would not notice how much it made no sense. The only thing the filmmakers got going for them is that somehow, they got this released in a movie theatre. That's impressive, its attempts to mimic a giallo-styled slasher film of the 70s and 80s just made it more garbage as I was expecting something cool and unique, but the artist went over my head. Although based on the bad ADR it could have been this film did not have the money needed to be good. I give it credit that the "Slasher" was creepy...at first but not creepy enough to justify the badness of it all.
