T-1000 is back

Keep your expectations low with this one and you will enjoy the movie. I really like Robert Patrick acting here. His character makes this movie interesting and the talks to the camera are the best. Amanda Crew does a great job too. Overall a good movie, not a great, to spend 85 minutes. Recommend only for Horror/B-movies fans.

Great Premise but Poorly Executed

This film was boring, incoherent, and an utter drag. It's difficult to sit through because it's just so incredibly uneventful. Robert Patrick plays a good enough psycho with some major mental health issues but we don't really understand what his deal is. The most interesting scenes of the film are the hallucinations and dream sequences...which don't make sense AT ALL but are the most visually stimulating parts of the film. As a main character, I felt that Amanda Crew, was under-used in the film. She didn't seem as important as she should have been, which is a disappointment because the film is about her. Tone-Deaf has a great premise but it was poorly executed.

Quirky

I liked (a lot) how the creators of Tone-Deaf tried to bend some of the rules of cinema. They break the fourth wall on a few occasions and make some bold narratorial decisions. I also liked the antagonism between Baby Boomers and Millennials and how this encapsualted the impotent rage between the generations. In terms of horror, there we some very creepy moments, some BANGS but it wasn't that scary.

All in all, an enjoyable indie-flick, better than US but worse than Get Out.

No reason for the low ratings

Obviously millennials are not too impressed at the way they are represented in this movie - which is spot on.

This is a tongue-in-cheek kind of movie not to be taken too seriously.

I found it great to watch - although perhaps I am of a certain age to appreciate the irony.

The acting and production - as well as the story - are well done and something different from the usual vacuous horror/comedy designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Strange Flick, Terrible Pianist, 4th Wall Cringefest

Weird script, weirdly executed, with chuckle/cringe-worthy generational shots fired throughout the film. The story execution did achieve in keeping my attention throughout, however the disillusionment in what could have been a way better film is well established half-way.

All-in-all, prioritize viewing other films you might have missed in your life, but give this a go if you want some "wtf were they thinking" moments.

Trivia
Although his character Harvey Parker, frequently talks about dementia and the fear of going to a nursing home, actor Robert Patrick was only 60 years old when this was filmed.

Quotes
Harvey: My boy thinks I'm losing my mind. He thinks I have dementia. But I'm as fit as a goddamn fiddle. He wants to put me in a nursing home. He calls it an assisted living center. But we both know that's just puttin' lipstick on a pig.
