Get Gone

Rubbish film boring don't waste your time watching it

I love horror movies. Basically I grew up on them. Believe me I've seen bad ones, but this.. Doesn't even hitting the bad limit. If I could give a negative rating, I would. It was very boring, and nonsensly sick even from a horror. Do not waste 1 and a half hour from your life!

I'm a big fan of Shaye's so I was hoping for a little substance in this film. Although Lin does a great job with the material provided the rest of the film is just a train-wreck. Many a great actor will take a chance on a script, writer, and/or director which I believe to be the case here for Shaye. As far as these types of films (no name writer/director scores a trust fund and decides to venture into the horror film business), unless you're a big fan of an actor giving up their talent to give someone a chance, stay clear as you will likely be sadly disappointed. The movie is a flop. Don't waste your time unless you want to skip through to enjoy Lin Shaye on screen.

I have watched some pretty terrible movies in my time and this one takes the cake. The acting is so terrible. incredibly incomplete movie bad from every angles. Even the trailer is terrible. It looks unoriginal and almost comical. Not trying to be rude just my personal opinion of a first impression.

Alright so I'm not exactly sure how to begin this review so I think I'll start off with the plot. Get Gone is the story of 6 hikers going up to this lovely forest area with a tour guide for 2 or 3 days as a group. Although living up at this beautiful area is a deadly family who are willing to kill anybody who dares to walk over their land! Unfortunately other than Lin Shae (sorry if that's spelt wrong) this movie is boring and horribly acted although for this director's first movie I'm pretty god damn impressed since Get Gone has won 6 awards some how, I guess for a first feature film it's impressive. I did enjoy the performance of a couple more cast members who looked like they were having a good time trying to make an entertaining horror flick. Get Gone seriously reminded me of the 2017 movie Leatherface which I thoroughly enjoyed even thought most people disagree on that. There are some hilariously bad Edits and camera work throughout this film but as I said this guy is a first time director so I can't be to hard on the man. I would say you should give this movie a watch one night to see what you think about it but don't go into this expecting a good movie because it's pretty bad but worth watching for certain fun aspects. The killer (Apple) has a brilliant first kill which is just extremely fun to watch although I just wish it was shot much better. So overall I'd give it a 3 out of 10 but possibly a 4 if I watched Get Gone with some friends.
