Milk & Serial

A couple years back that kid from stranger things released a found footage horror movie called Spree. It's about a murderous, incel, wannabe influencer that goes on a killing spree. It was so bad that I made people watch it, not because it was funny-bad, but because I needed to share my anger with others---- this is like if that movie was good.

In general, I find found-footage to be boring and unimaginative. I gave this a shot, because I think Curry Barker & Cooper Tomlinson are funny in sort of a GreatValue™ I Think You Should Leave way. I was ready for this to be bad. Almost expecting it - but I was pleasantly surprised. It's fairly straightforward - Maybe a little bit derivative or predictable at times, but Barkers performance is what sells it. I was not prepared for him to be 1) good at acting 2) actually horrifying. Worth the watch. An impressive directorial debut.

I really enjoyed Curry Barker's short films, so it was only natural that I would watch his debut feature, Milk & Serial. Although I didn't really understand the Title, the film still pleasantly surprised me. I love Found Footage Horrorfilms and I was very excited to see what Curry Barker would serve us with here.

What Curry Barker has served us here is a Well-Crafted story with Suspense and a touch of Humor.

The Actors do a great job, and Curry Barker himself outshines them all. His performance is impressive.

I'm very excited for Curry Barker to finally make his Big-screen debut. The guy has Talent and could be a hit in the Horror, thriller, or even Comedy genres.

Is this movie amazing on its own? No, there are tons of better movies out there. Is it amazing considering it was made at home by non-professional filmmakers and on a very low budget? Yes, I don't think many people could pull this off. It's also better than some professionally made movies out there.

The only critique I can think of is that there are parts of it that feel slow or dragged out. But for the most part, it's an engaging, creepy movie with good actors, genuinely frightening/weird moments, and an interesting, well crafted plot. Not a huge fan of the found footage format, but it does it well.

This movie is a lot better than a lot of FF movies...hell, than a lot of horrors/thrillers in general. It has a good runtime, free to watch on YouTube and on par with Creep. It's similar in that it is a small budget couple of actors, one main protagonist/antagonist type of craziness, but to be honest, I like the story of M&S better - but Creep is more visually pleasing.

I really liked this movie and cannot find anything that is super bad about it. It is really low budget and a bit all over the place but based on the story and characters it gives this a more realistic feel to it even.

It is not a masterpiece...it is not perfect...but for the limited crew, cast and budget, this is a gem for sure and definitely worth watching!

A friend recommended I watch this, and I'm really glad he did. In an age of vacuous YouTube influencers and vloggers, this is a brilliant concept: take the format that I personally find pretty repulsive, and spin it on its head by putting the iPhone in the hands of a Gen Z psychopath.

The whole thing sucks you in by being extremely believable, thanks to some eerily well acted early scenes. The twists keep coming and thanks to some really snappy editing this film hits you right between the eyes.

Like a found-footage version of Man Bites Dog, this is a really exciting find, which is completely free on YouTube. The fact that this thing is available on the very platform it is slyly critiquing is a brilliant twist in itself, however it's the plot developments in this short film that will have you watching it for a second time almost immediately.

Hollywood must surely beckon for the cast and director.
