Woman in the Maze

I've just attended the world premiere of Woman in the Maze in Moscow, one day ahead of the US release. There were three people in the auditorium, including me. And none of us were interested in what's happening on the screen.

Mitesh Patel's flat directing spawns pedestrian acting provided by every single cast member and scarce, bloodless thrills. Despite constantly reminding the viewers that the film is inspired by the real ghost town of Jerome, AZ, and even going as far as doing the principal shooting there, Woman in the Maze doesn't actually utilize it or make it valuable to the plot, and it could easily be replaced by a fictional setting.

Don't mind the ridiculously high rating of 8,6 (higher than the ones of Rain Man and Citizen Kane), there's absolutely no way it's legit.

Terrible acting, with subtle feminist references such as "Stop it with the man stuff, it makes me feel old". We get it don't worry. You are the modern woman, strong, independent with a luxury car, better than any man that crosses your way, the usual thing. Also, the horror is not present and the ending did not make sense at all. I really felt that the actress was not into the role, sometimes forcing herself too much which did not bring any realism to it. Maybe it is time to come back to the classics of horror, and a bit less in the appearances. It almost feels like the movie was made for a group of friends rather to the general public.

Every positive review is planted by the "filmmaker" because his narcissism can't handle the fact that he has no business making films.

The acting and writing are deplorable. The writer/director's head is so swelled, he's incapable of thinking for a moment anything he does is short of genius.

I thought perhaps after seeing "man in the maze" which amazingly, was even worse than this, that he had managed to improve, I was wrong. All that changed was a better director of photography was hired, but better shots alone do not a better movie make.

Yet the viewers have spoken. We see it for what it is. A disgrace to the medium.

This film lauds itself as being based on the historic ghost town of Jerome, Arizona.

But it's better fit to represent a dumpster fire.

Because it is absolutely horrible.

The writing is awful.

The acting sucks.

And the plot is beyond stupid.

Out of the five writers listed in the credits, I'm not sure who is ultimately responsible for how bad this is.

But I can't see them getting any future work out of it.

The only upside to this, is that the leading actress is a total babe.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have any talent.

Although, neither does anyone else associated with it.

Particularly the writers.

I can't trash them enough.

Because attempting to sit through this is inscruciating.

By no means is it bad in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way, either.

It's just really, really, bad.

And I mean real bad.

The only bit I liked about it at all...was when it ended.

So it's safe to say I won't be indulging in any project that features anyone associated with this travesty ever again.

Because it's quite possibly the worst film of the year.

1 out of 10.

One of the worst movies I've seen in a while. There was no one in this turd that could act. No scares, no thrills, just a mess of a movie.

The whole premise of the movie was laughable. I want to give a shout out to the most horribly miscast character of all, the sheriff. She exuded as much gravitas as a helium balloon. I can't understand all the high number of star ratings for this movie. I think the director had all his extended family come on the site and give reviews. And what's with the affiliation with the city of Jerome? It had no relevance to the movie. The ending was very disappointing and made no sense.
