Not funny and not clever
tomdenton-732542 October 2023
I'm confused. This film has lots of 10/10 ratings, which is why I rented it. Cleary low budget but I don't hold that against it. However, it is at best exceedingly average. One review suggests amazing soundtrack. To me the sound is poor and music almost nonexistent. Competent acting and a slightly intriguing story but I didn't find any of it funny. I wonder if all the reviewers worked on the film... Very disappointing. I think there is some error in the IMDb system that allowed this film to score so highly without any checks. Ninety minutes of my life that I will never get back. The only reason we finished watching was so I could write an honest review.

Tedious, badly acted - puffed here
fustbariclation18 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Notice there are no external reviews.
There are only manufactured puff reviews.
The acting is stiff and bad.
The plot is trite and obvious.
The cinematography is flat and boring.
There's no sign of any flair or imagination.
It is annoying to see the, obviously artificial puff reviews - IMDB should do something about them, so as not to be discredited as a source of useful reviews.
Please remove the silly, untruthful reviews.
The costumes, too, are lacking any flair or imagination. Why would anyone fund such an obviously terrible idea, and use such bad actors? Was it, perhaps just a money-laundering exercise?

At best 2 stars
johnathanwood-8998124 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
10 minutes In I had to research how this had an 8.8 score. 20 minutes gave up.
Majority of acting is very wooden.
Cinematography is nauseous.
Vfx are hilarious, similar to tik tok or free apple / android app.
Think cast / family and friends must have given anything over 4 stars.
Can't comment on actual plot as could not endure any more. The back story/infill was extremely suited to the acting. I would say the audio was OK but the effects and music was on a par with the vfx. No microphone headbutting sadly as would have given a reason to keep watching.
Seriously this film has definitely been upvoted and clearly is not anything close to the ratings it is currently showing.

Don't Bother Watching
garrybarr10 October 2023
Pointless, boring 'd' rated film! Pathetic story line that fails to deliver any interest or intrigue. I can only conclude that most of the reviews on this page were submitted by the Producers/ Directors of the film, as it really is utter dross! I had read that the soundtrack was 'amazing'. This is not the case, the soundtrack is almost non existent. Also the sound quality is very poor, with some of the dialogue being too quiet to hear at times. I would rate the film as one of the 10 worst I have ever seen and can only recommend that you pass this one by and spend the evening watching paint dry for better entertainment!

I Feel My Life Force Was Sucked Away...
icocleric6 November 2023
I feel like I was tricked into watching this film with it's high rating. The synopsis looked promising too. When I saw the obvious poor production value from the start, I was like well maybe it does something clever with the story... I was wrong. Save yourself. It's not even the fun kind of bad. It's just bad.
The story was an incoherent hot mess, and it also just ends, with a "to be continued..." I was left feeling, what the hell did I just watch? Not much actually happens, that isn't covered by the synopsis, and honestly the acting is just awful.
It uses a lot of the bad special effects too, so it just looks a hot mess.

Could have been great but fails.
mail-521366 November 2023
Promising idea and could have been great. Obviously a low budget film, with inconsistent sound levels and very dodgy effects. However this, in itself, would not warrent a low rating. I enjoy watching low budget films which are so bad that they become good, but this isn't one of them.
The low rating is because the plot is incomprehensible with no clear story line. It was intriging but it ends with a 'to be continued' message so there is no pay off at the end to justify spending 90 minutes watching this film. A complete 'raised finger' to the viewer.
Finally a comment about the 10/10 reviews, as other reviews state they must be fake. Most of them repeat the same statements and have no relationship to the film I saw. Do not heed these reviews.

Woeful offering
roxmewild8 November 2023
I am half way through this Badly written horrendously acted load of Garbage but am persevering just so I can give a hundred percent honest review!
I have not heard of the writer whom also directed this movie and I think maybe it is due to either his newness to both or that he is just a dreadful writer as the story is quite pathetic and is only bested by the truly awful acting that suggests the cast is also are fresh to acting . If this was a college students first script and he got his college mates to act in it you maybe give him some leeway ! Describing this tipsy turvy story as Sci Fi is laughable just because it supposedly has aliens featured in the nonsensical offering!
My advice skip this movie unless you want to cringe for 80 mins The writer needs to keep going to classes as do the actors neither are at a level for an audience yet! My rating 1 star for effort on a D.
