After watching the Netflix series Monsters about the Menendez brothers, I was curious to check it out because I enjoy little-known '90s movies made for TV.
I'm not too fond of this adaptation. It's quite cheesy and not long enough to fully explore the story. It's also strangely rushed, so you don't get a lot of the details and reasons why they killed their parents. It just makes them look like monsters. Some of the cast worked to a certain extent for me, but the level of acting was definitely missing, which is why it seemed more like they were killing in cold blood. The pretty low resolution also made it quite dull to watch.
Overall, the movie would have been fine if it were twice as long and had at least HD resolution.

As someone who recently finished watching all the seasons of the original series, I found the movie to be pretty decent for a TV movie.
The plot is just as silly and cheesy as usual, with tons of soap opera moments, action sequences, and the typical Baywatch style, which I loved. Even though I wish it had more characters from the original series, it was heartwarming to see many of the characters who left between different seasons make appearances. The villain from the second season returning to the movie for revenge is also a really nice idea. However, I don't understand why they remastered all the seasons beautifully but haven't remastered the movie as well. I don't mind the low quality, but it felt dry compared to the remastered seasons.
The start was strong and exciting, but it became too cheesy later on, especially for a movie reunion. The ending felt more like another weak season finale rather than the actual conclusion, and it seemed rushed with a small budget. The movie had so much potential, considering I spent time watching all 242 episodes, plus the 44 episodes of the spin-off, only for it to turn out cheap and cheesy with dumb and lazy writing. It would have been nice if they had made the movie a few years later, not just 2 years after the show ended, with a bigger budget and better writing. That would have meant a lot to me and other Baywatch fans, I'm sure.
Overall, it's a decent movie, silly like most Baywatch episodes, but I'm still a bit disappointed. To note about the show, I'm aware that the show itself is not generally good, as it's known to not be taken seriously, but everything I experienced with Baywatch was honestly fun and I wish the community hadn't died.
Oh, and if you're thinking about watching the movie but haven't seen the show, I don't recommend it. Watch all the seasons first.

Wow, what an insane movie! In fact, I think it was a little better than Evil Dead (2013).
First of all, I thought the story idea was excellently written. Once it makes you realize what kind of situation it is, it adds a lot more fun than you'd think. The plot worked much better and was more fun than Evil Dead (2013).
The opening scene was decent, with possibly one of the greatest movie title cards in modern horror days. It started well, but later it just got more and more insane. The cast of not-so-well-known actors was really great, with performances that felt like real people who became possessed. Alyssa Sutherland, who played the lead role, absolutely killed it; she was terrifying. I also really liked the night and rainy vibe, which added to the atmosphere. The kills were very fun and gory, exactly what I expected from a movie like this. The special effects were incredible. Although nothing beats the ending of Evil Dead (2013), I thought the ending was decent and cleared up all loose ends. It also added some comedy elements that reminded me of Evil Dead II.
Overall, I was honestly entertained by this movie, which made me feel tense and impressed. I thought it was a very well-done horror movie.
How would I compare this movie to Evil Dead (2013)? I think Evil Dead (2013) was more brutal and gory, with lots of blood, while Evil Dead Rise was more insane and creepy, with a better plot.
For those who have never watched any movies in the franchise, note that you absolutely don't need to watch any of the other movies to understand and enjoy this one.
Groovy!
