What Happened at 625 River Road

Some of this movie was genuinely painful to watch. The story was fairly decent but the filmmaking was just very below average. Some of the shots were good but it was ruined as always but shots of the camera man just walking up to the actors faces in dramatic scenes that just really took me out of it.

I knew immediately without checking that the director was a man. No woman ever while drinking with a friend has had a pillow fight in shorts and talked about how amazing Halle Berry was for topless scenes. Like what?

Also they clearly made.use of that Dolly camera. It was just very obvious watching that this was a brand new director. The sound was off in scenes and the lighting was bad in others and the editing left me confused as hell at times. Can also see the camera man in several shots. The edit should of taken longer. Feel like it was rushed.

Ms Johnson was actually interesting. She scared the hell out of me but the other two main actors just honestly seemed like they were doing a favour for a mate.

Again good story just bad execution.

This is a twist on the old Bluebeard fairy tale, which gets me every time, and a blood splattered love letter to New York. Very satisfying thriller for midweek scares, and for the young and free to see themselves on screen. I woke up next day, glad to be alive, so the film has some heart and is more than fast food cinema. Solid performances and beautiful cinematography, excellent coverage for an indie film, punching above its weight. Ms. Johnson character is suitably creepy, I don't want to see her on my next hike! Young leads do a good job surfing the highs and lows of friendship while following their hedonistic impulses. Our Officer / Detective plays a nice edge between comedy and drama. Perhaps a cautionary tale to give Airbnb the boot. Watch from the safety of home.

The story itself is decent but the acting is so bad that it borders on comedic. The girl who plays Laura is okay but the one who plays Kelly is just bad. I hated the camera angles too. It screamed B movie but not in a good way. It's like they were intentionally trying to make it look bad.

This isn't a horror movie or a scary movie in any way. The story line moves too fast with a lot of missed opportunities for any kind of build up. It's the typical Airbnb story that goes wrong. But it jumps around to so many different people that there's no real story to follow.

There's zero character development so you really don't care what happens to anyone. And the parts that finally get going, the camera zooms in and out of people's faces, goes up and down and all around in a very Blair Witch kind of way that's just annoying.

This is one of those movies that had a lot of promise but went the other way and just failed.

This guy made everyone on the crew work for free, then buys himself a huge Cyber Truck with the money he made from this project...

He showed up at my apartment with his new cyber truck and asks me if I'm willing to cheat on my boyfriend of 7 years cause he thinks he is so cool with his new cyber truck and all the new hollywood connections he got.

Devon Jovi Johnson thinks it's okay to make fun of the love of my life just cause he makes more money than him.

Love is more than just money, Jovi.

He also stole my wide angle lens and plays dumb when I confront him on it.

Devon Jovi Johnson ruined his chance of ever becoming successful because he let greed and his hugely overrated ego take over.

He's a scam artist who's only in it for himself.

Bye.

What could have potentially been a good film was sadly completely ruined by the abysmal acting. I don't know if it was dubbed, or if this was actors actually voicing the dialogue, either way every line from every actor was delivered with a total lack of emotion or tonal change.

The story itself was interesting and had huge potential to something worthy of a 7 or 8 star review. It would be interesting to see a big name look to remake this with a bigger budget and better cast, as i think in the right hands this could've been something special.

As it is, i'm giving it 4 stars purely based on that potential and the overall story.

Is it worth a watch? I would say so, but please, do not expect anything of any real standard.
