Emeryville (2016)
Huh???
I love movies of all genre and sorts. This is the one of the most if not the most awful one I have seen. We've been here before. It's like a combo of Wrong Turn and Hills Have Eyes. Bad script, bad directing and just bad everything.
Yes, it is a village trapped in time, an experiment.... it's not probable. And then you have the token ethnic actor, this time it's not a African American but an Indian American. It is so stereotypical at first, I thought it was a spoof film, making fun of the Wrong Turn series or Hills Have Eyes, and the title mimics that of the Amityville Horror. I don't understand it at all. It's just a mishmash especially with flashback scenes which aim to introduce the back story. However, it only makes the movie confusing. A lot of the scenes do not flow. If you have someone going crazy at the dinner table, and he's a stranger to you, wouldn't you all just leave or at least react?! Not just sit there quietly as if everything is OK. That was why I thought, it must be a spoof. But I think it's not.
Kudos to Mr Chheda who made the film. However, I would strongly suggest perhaps he should return to civil engineering. If he has too much money to waste, give it to charity. This movie is such a waste that it's bordering on being sinful!
