This Never Happened

Perfect for a movie night! Just finished it! Highly recommend it! Don't watch it alone hahaha. Honestly a lot of new characters I've never seen but really enjoyed the plot, great mix of feelings and emotions. It's not for my 4 year old to watch but definitely fun and exciting and scary. Super smooth flow through the film. I feel like the start was a tad bit slow for my liking but when it picks up, it picks up! The final part was my favorite! I don't want to spoil anything here in this review so hopefully I can see others reviews later next week to see what they thought! Very well done job, I'm a fan of some of the characters now! THIS NEVER HAPPENED is definitely worth the watch!

"Never Happened" is a chilling horror movie that delivers on suspense and atmosphere. With its clever twists and turns, it keeps viewers on the edge of their seats throughout. The eerie cinematography and haunting soundtrack contribute to the overall sense of unease, making it a must-watch for horror enthusiasts. However, some viewers may find certain scenes to be particularly intense or disturbing, so it's not for the faint of heart. Overall, "Never Happened" is a gripping and memorable addition to the horror genre. Me and my girlfriend love this movie and enjoyed the acting!! Classic Friday night on the couch !!

After his father's funeral, a man takes his girlfriend back to his childhood home to spend some time there before it's sold with a party involving them and his old friends, but when they start to suspect something dark from his past has returned to seek revenge forces them to stop it from happening.

This was a fairly fun if somewhat flawed genre effort. Among the best features here is how this one sets about going for a series of supernatural shenanigans to make what's happening quite surprising and shocking. The main idea of trying to uncover the truth about what happened at the house that gets unlocked while the group is in the middle of their party but aren't aware of the possession that's starting up to ensure the revenge is complete makes the film come off quite fun once these incidents start to take place. From haunting whispers in their ear, hallucinations involving figures coming to life to attack them, and the eventual realization that the possession has taken place makes everything else that happens in the house come together into a strong series of frantic encounters as the supernatural deaths provide some great cheesy, gory deaths alongside the frantic chasing with the impressive make-up on the possessed. This all gives the film some fine positives to hold it up overall while there are some big issues with this one holding it back. One of the main factors with this one is the absolutely dire pacing that makes everything feel so dull and boring waiting for something to happen. While the group arrives at the house fairly early and manages to instigate the party soon after, the amount of time spent on this material makes for a dull time waiting on these fairly uninteresting rich people wandering around this large mansion waiting for something to happen to them. The usual outsider who doesn't fit in with his established group of friends, the rich barely able to contain their contempt for her being of a lower class than she is, and the seemingly obvious secrets that arrive which are fairly obvious to guess what's going on yet never initiate any kind of panic in anyone. Hardly any of this is interesting and just makes for an overlong start getting this one going. Once this gets established, the film highlights yet another irritating and common trope with the way this takes place in a realm of untrustworthy friends trying to uncover a dark secret. The way it works is the trope of her not being able to get a hold of the group of friends around her when it's revealed that they've been involved in covertly drugging her to throw the idea of her prognosis into question so that the hauntings she keeps trying to bring up have a sense of doubt so that they can keep the horrifying event in their past a secret which only makes everything that happens to her come from a source of disbelieving significant other who treats them like a nervous wreck. It doesn't make them endearing at all, and combined together make for the factors that bring this one together.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and drug use.

Throwback to the 80s horror flicks, but with an updated modern vibe. New faces I had not seen before giving great on-screen performances. Every character with a unique backstory that was summed up, kept you interested in what was coming up next and even had you routing for the villains. What I liked most was that I could almost guess what was going to happen and then it took a turn. My favorite line has to be the last because I swear it's exactly what I was thinking #motherF!! Looking forward to seeing more productions from the studio and the actors. Loving that Tubi's giving this kind of film a platform.

This Never Happened is one of Tubi's many original films but I would say one of their greatest horror/thrillers. Over the years Tubi has been improving their quality. Ted Campbell is known for his lilfetime movies and I would say this is definitely an upgrade. There is a very Diverse cast which I like. It isn't your typical stupid crazy hot girl main star with a brainless man toy. This cast adds depth to their characters and bring them to life and make them believable. To me all characters but 1 did a great job. They are attractive in their own way but I appreciate Tubi is hiring talent with wel.... TALENT and not just 10/10 beauty with zero skills. I think the fact that the english has an accent actually makes things scarier and more entertaining. There are a couple of editing flaws for sure but.... Tubi is free. I think all kills are realistic and what about that blender scene! I would have liked to see Nico's death make up more up close. I didn't get why Nico spoke perfect english while everyone else except Emily had an accent. Is there a plot twist? Are Nico and Emily twins? I think they left this open for a sequal. Easy, Cringy and fun to Watch.
