Nuit barbare

This movie had potential, I'm not going to lie. The story line was good, it had prospect, they could have done better with it. They gave us proper details about each Character. How Adam was a wimp, eve was the one who wore the pants and Lucas? Well he was such an effing d@#$*. Chloe or what's her name was a very flat character we just know she was Lucas' partner. Their two major flawa was spending too much time giving us proper insight on the characters and not spending time on the plot. Conflict, climax and resolution happened in about ten minutes, that was stupid in my opinion. The second flaw was with the loose plot hole. So many unimportant things presented to us as important. For example the fox! What was the use? The significance, they showed that sh@*# a million times I thought it was going to be important to the story but alas it wasn't. Anyway they could have done better, acting was good too. It's passable, nothing great about it.

This film mangles the story of this type of film. Annoying people with secrets come together. And then a seige happens, tormenting them. And more stupidity ensues. Actors do well with what they are given, but unfortunately, there is little given to them. Nothing new to this genre of film.

It's a pretty good thriller filled with a sprinkle of dark comedy in it that heightened its level of threat in the third act, albeit a little too dark to see what's going on.

I still can't answer that question after watching the movie. It's not terrible, I was mildly entertained through most of it. But it doesn't really feel like it has a point. There is a bunch of extra information that you think will play some part in the story but has no relevance. It tries to have some themes and character arcs but they don't work. It's a poor attempt, but I didn't hate watching it. (1 viewing, 4/24/2022)

Another poor lockdown movie, set entirely in a country home where two couples are having an uneasy evening together. Dark secrets spill out into violence, and that's even before a "home invasion" type scenario develops. Tom Cullen and Iwan Rheon have been fine elsewhere but can do little with the boring scripting and trite psychology here, while the latter half becomes increasingly ridiculous as well as being entirely overfamiliar.
