Review of The 5th Kind (2017) by Jackie F — 28 Oct 2017
At its best found-footage horror can be exciting, tense & scare filled but at its worst it can be...The Fifth Kind. With no redeeming features, The Fifth Kind breaks the cardinal rule of horror...don't be boring.
Seriously...when are horror writers & directors going to realize that we don't want actors playing themselves. The whole reason we watch movies, watch horror is to be transported to another world.
A world where anything can happen, where characters are larger then life & the situations they're in both shocking & imaginative. Watching this movie is not fun. It's not interesting, it's not good horror! This movie.
..its story? It is absurd. Poorly acted, poorly filmed & poorly written, The Fifth Kind has zero redeeming features. It's boring & so unoriginal everyone involved should hang their heads in shame.
This story is so poor that anything would have been preferable. I want my money back.
