Apartment 212 (2017)
Painfully slow.
18 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
40 minutes of nothing before things starts to happen and even then it's all just about how she keeps getting more bites with everyone around her being a imbecile, ignoring everything and how SHE IS COVERED WITH BITE MARKS. The police don't care, her neighbours don't care, the hospital doesn't care. And it keeps going back to her back story about her abusive boyfriend that I can't give a rats behind about. I watched an hour of this before I stopped because NOTHING HAPPENS. In an hour of watching, the only hint of a monster you ever get is a drawing on a wall (the poster of the movie) and the bite marks she keeps getting. I expected it'd be a buncha little bugs, like the ravenous scarabs of The Mummy or some disgusting worms or whatever. Nope. I skipped ahead to see what the monster was and... IT'S A LITTLE BAT YOU BARELY GET TO SEE. HOW IS THIS SCARY?! They even made an out of focus shot of their little ugly hand puppet bat sitting in a towel with shiny eyes, but you can't tell what it is because the shot is so out of focus. Most likely because the puppet looks bad if it were in focus.

Not scary, not interesting, not anything. In the start it even felt like a comedy due to her goofy, overly friendly neighbor. Acting is all fine, no complaints there. But as a horror movie, this fails miserably.
