just watch it!
Charming and brutal
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreI created an IMDb account JUST to rate this movie the absolute worst rating. Characters, stupid. Plot, boring. Protagonist and antagonist, boring. Setting, boring. This movie and actors were sub par and were terrible wait not even terrible, terribad. If I really could take my 1hr30mins back I would. Sharknado 3 was way better than this anticlimactic piece of garbage. I dislike this movie thoroughly, so bad and painful to watch. 1 hour in I said I wanted to stop watching but it was so bad I had to see the ending. No satisfaction of the main character winning at all. Avoid if you don't wanna see cringe acting and bad endings.
View MoreI understand to a point why people desire the revival of the slasher flick. In the 70's you had Halloween. In the 80s you had Friday the 13th and Elm Street. In the 90's you had I Know What You Did Last Summer and the Scream franchise. The fact is these are Classics that cannot be touched which is why most got remade. The girl in the photographs does not try to be those films which perhaps is why some were disappointed. I thought the movie was filmed well and the cast was good with the exception of the leading lady. Watching her was like watching Kristen Stewart in the first Twilight movie. She was one note, monotone and forgettable which is really unacceptable seeing as how our villain becomes obsessed with her when there wasn't anything to be obsessed about. She was lacking personality extremely. She mostly just came off as a bitch reminiscent of the stone-faced actress that acted opposite Channing Tatum in Magic Mike. Having said that there were some problems with the script. There's absolutely no character development for our leading lady and absolutely no character development for our villains either. You get the impression that they're brothers but that's never said. There's nothing to make you give a crap about the "star". Does she have parents? Was she hatched from an egg? Did she grow up in this town or just move there? All we know is she has an ex boyfriend that she doesn't want to talk to for a reason that's never said and she works in the grocery store. It's pretty easy not to care about most of the characters since most of them are shallow which is fine it's always nice to see dumb shallow pretty people get killed off in horror movies. The truth is the real star of this film is The Mastermind villain. His performance reminded me of the young villain in the first Purge movie. He was very strange and perfectly creepy like a stalker should be. I love that I couldn't tell what he was going to do next and that he was enjoying it. All and all I think the villains were pretty perfect aside from their lack of backstory. Other holes in the plot include if it's such a small town how does no one notice these people missing? How long have these guys been doing this? Why are the cops such idiots? I love discovering good new villains. That's what makes this movie worth a sit-down. I thought the masks were creative. The kills not so much but man just a little bit more story and some recasting and the film would have been a lot better. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not an in-your-face slasher flick where loud orchestrated music plays as the villain jumps out very Scream style. It's more along the lines of Kiss the Girls just not as good but we can't all be James Patterson.
View MoreI will pretty much watch anything to give it a chance, especially horror movies because they're my favorite. But, I can't believe I'm still watching this movie right now it's awful lol. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen but it really is a 3 for so many reasons. The worst part about the movie is the acting. It's comical! It's baddddd lol. The main girl has no range of emotions but she reminds me of Ashley Benson (and I wish it would've been her maybe it would've been better then). Also the model who's the "gf" of the photographer was sooooo annoying!! The story just sucks. I only like the photographer because he's an idiot and has a few good lines in it😂 I would say you might enjoy it if you're bored though. Plus it's free on Netflix at least!
View MoreThe final "picture" was soooo brilliant that it did add to this very strange movie and yes Kal Penn irritated me at first until MAJOR SPOILER STOP READING IF YOU Haven't SEEN OR WANT TO SEE he got killed and then I blurted out "hey he was my favorite character " so to some extent I must have liked whatever Slam on a Hollywood type photographer he was doing ; now to dissect it would kill the movie; there are too many loose ends we don't know why the killer is a killer or even get any Inkling Of his background etc. BUT the movie as a whole wasn't bad; it definitely has some redemption and the last picture was one of them. I'd recommend waiting for it to come out in video however.
