Karma

Karma is very well written and surprisingly funny! The film is filled with a cast that is able to effortlessly pivot back and forth between moments of fear and realism. Such instances make the film relatable to viewers and grounded in accuracy. Jas Banks showcases her writing fluency in a such a way that ensures that the cast can rely on what feels like natural reaction on screen. Providing a glimpse into what could be the actual reactions of the cast if ever dropped into a "Clue" type of scenario. Film keeps viewers on their toes in their guess as to who is under the very well crafted mask. But more than anything, the movie teaches viewers the lesson that Karma always comes back to bite you in the end.

The film fails on nearly all levels for me.

The direction is gimmicky and distracting. Shots from overhead and the wrong side of a glass window accentuate the poor sound production. The loud soundtrack drowns out the actor's words, which would have been more of a problem if the script was any good.

As a horror it offered no scares, as a thriller the tension amounted to zero and as a comedy it didn't amuse me.

The foul-mouthed characters just annoyed me, there was a cop with no common sense and an implausible vigilant. I don't like to be too negative about low budget films but the 10/10 reviews on here make me suspicious.

A generous 3.5 from me.

I usually don't leave reviews but I felt compelled to do so in this instance because I feel as if some of the ratings and reviews are a bit exaggerated in terms of saying how terrible the film was. Yes the film definitely has its huge flaws and issues I agree. The sound quality is not the best and the camera man choices of shots particularly through the window in the first half of the movie was not a good decision. Considering this is a very low budget film and there are Hollywood productions with the means and resources to put out better films which they fail to do all of the time, I think this is a nice little first project. Once it gets past the first half maybe 30 mins in the film gets better! I saw a reviewer mention there was no blood on the killer and in slashers that's impossible he must not have saw the first prom night after the killer beheaded a person and had no blood on them as well as several other horror/slashers where the killer had no blood splattered all over them. I feel like some people are digging too deep into this as if it is a big Hollywood franchise😂 To me the project is a nice little 5.5 I have saw way worse films! The mouse trap, Winnie the Pooh, anything with Amy Schumer and many many others the only thing that makes this one stand out as worse than those is the window shot! That is one of my biggest issue with the entire film honestly it was very distracting and made the first half of the movie seem so long, a little boring and drug out. Some of the actors were a little over the top, some things could have been better but the film was amusing to us and the ending was good. Give it a chance people, and remember just because you don't like something doesn't mean other people won't. I could for sure see some people possibly rating it a 2 or a 3 but a 1 no way I don't think so at all it wasn't that bad seriously

Give the movie a try and decide for yourself.

I enjoyed this movie! Love the mixture of slasher horror and comedy. This film has a slow build in the beginning, but the slow build has details that sets up what's to come.

When pranks go too far that causes someone to go on a slashing rampage for revenge, you never know what you'll be in to. The "who did it" and "why" will leave you on the edge of your seat. The movie also has comical relief to where it's not ONLY about a slasher going around killing and situations being taken too seriously. You will definetly have a catchphrase or two that you'll repeat in your daily life routine. Director Jas Banks has done an amazing job with this being her first project. I Can't wait for more!

A great horror movie where director Jas Banks introduces her passion of filmmaking. Instant classic, great acting and it had me on the edge of my seat.

The story being told is super well written and easy to follow. The thrill lasts throughout the whole movie, and it will truly spark your interest. The end of the movie is great, with sort of a "Saw" like feeling.

Jas Banks did a great job of portraying "Karma" as a sick and twisted minded killer that is out of revenge. The acting in the movie overall was great too, and every character played their part well. Lots of unexpected twists involved as well.

10/10 would recommend.
