Please Don't Feed the Children

1. Stupid plot - Check 2. Bad acting - Check 3. Terrible writing - Check 4. Dumb characters - Check

I watched this flaming pile of dung until the end just to see how bad it could get - it didn't disappoint. Each minute was worst than the preceding minute. It was that bad. How anybody convinced a "studio" to finance this disaster is beyond me.

1. The plot is a mishmash of various horror films rolled into one - just done much worse than any of the originals.

2. The acting is worse than a Hallmark family movie. I'm surprised that the editors let any of this mess out of the cutting room.

3. Not much to say about the writing - banal, brainless, regurgitated crapola.

4. The decisions made by the characters made no sense given the setting in which they were supposed to be living. The thought "Why didn't he/she just do X?" passed though my head at least once in every scene.

The movie started off decent for about a minute, but quickly slowed down and lost direction. It felt like it was trying to build toward something, but never really got there. By the end, I was still wondering what the title even had to do with the story. The acting? Pretty rough-but honestly, that's kind of what I expected from a Tubi original.

This is a little gem. I see great potential for Miss Destry. The missed brilliance in reviews is tragic. This director has an eye for making banal new. See it again. She's a photographer. Watch the tricky lit head shots. They are magical. Only a genius could have made this film unique in its over all slant that embodies a wonderful twist. Destry is cursed by her famous last name. This girl has a wonderful style.

I love the actors. Dockety delivers a clearly defined dervish dame. Mary the main character delivets a frightened girl whom we know will survive.

The subject of Please Don't Feed the Children is a tricky take on generational breakdown. Why are adults afraid of children? That's the core theme beneath the drama. One generation is always threatened by the next one. If we could understand this we all would be happier. The metaphor is that chilren carry an unforseen killer which is their youth, vigor, and intelligence that will outlive the adults.

That's it! Children will outlive the adults and that is why they are hounded and rounded up. The hidden virus children carry is their ability to outlive the older generation.

Cool premise, really liked the idea and the first half kept my interest for sure. But after that it's just dumb character decision after dumb character decision. The acting is okay too but the writing is so bad in the second half that I almost just turned it off.

It's things like when you're getting attacked or held by gun and don't take the gun or subdue the attacker that really make the last 1/3 unwatchable. I was yelling at the TV multiple times because the kid characters are so insufferable and stupid.

It does have some good acting, the premise is cool and some SFX were good too, but the bad writing ruins the whole thing towards the end. 4.2/10.

No. Just no. One of the worst apocalypse movies ever. The premise was ok, though not much different from every zombie movie I've seen in the past 20 years.

The acting, if you can call it that, is wooden. Each of the 'actors' has maybe three expressions which, apparently, are interchangeable no matter what the emotion. They're all dirty of course, but one of them has different streaks of mud from one frame to the next without any reason.

Why did I even tune in? I got an email promoting this 'great new movie on TUBI starring Michelle Dockery. Was it her or the material she was given, even she couldn't infuse anything good in this movie.

Skip it. Skip the whole thing and watch a classic like "THEM" or the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
