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.
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.

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.

First off, this film is classified as a horror comedy, but the only real comedy comes in the form of a few awkward moments and a couple attempts of 4th wall breaking humor of Millennials and Boomers taking some cringeworthy jabs at each other (which are not funny at all and seriously bring it down a whole point by themselves).
To keep this review short and to the point, any positives that I have to say about this film goes to the production and acting. There is some nice cinematic shots, good sound design, and solid effects. The acting is slightly above average but there will be no award nominations coming their way for this movie.
The story on the other hand, is a mixed bag of mediocrity. It is all over the place and changes tone several times during the film. At some points it tries to be a serious thriller. At other points it is a light-hearted dramedy. Yet at other times it's an arthouse parody that really makes little sense.
Overall the movie is weird and doesn't seem to have a good sense of itself. There are a couple good scenes and there is some decent production to it, but the majority of it is a just a nonsensical mess that's just not very entertaining. Not a film that you're going to want to watch twice and very forgettable. 4/10
