Review of The Curse of Sleeping Beauty (2016) by Teresa M — 17 May 2016

I'm only 15 minutes into this and I'm so bored. Plus, they've already contradicted themselves. To begin with, the opening credits look like the worst CHEAP and TERRIBLY constructed direct ripoff from Penny Dreadful.

So poorly done! Next, the main guy, I think his father (but so bored, I can't pay attention fully), who left him the cursed house says in his letter, that all parts of the property are OPEN to the main character.

So, the main character gets to the cursed house and the first thing that we see is that he has no key. Uh. What the hell? A guy writes a seemingly well thought out will, explaining a bunch of stuff, and leaves no key?? And even as an alternative, if - all the parts - of the stupid house are open to him, then WHY does he have to go get a crowbar from his car and break in?? Why wouldn't, in keeping with the fantasy theme, the door just be open? And backing up a bit, the main character's roommate or friend or whatever he is that drops groceries off - my god - such a contrived character that has the most moronic dialogue.

Lastly, though I'm only 15 minutes in, the glimpses I've had of the so-called Sleeping Beauty - why on earth did they have to make her up as if she's Frankenstein's Bride?? She's not even a believable goth type - it's shoddily done - like someone who didn't know what the hell they were doing got into their mom's gothic makeup case.

I am seriously in awe at the lack of intelligence of the people involved in making these films...or the sheer laziness - because that is the ONLY other thing it could be if they aren't truly that stupid.

I've many middle and high school students who can craft videos that are far better than this. Geez - dumbing of America - and people are watching it O-o . Oh, almost forgot - just because you give a British accent to a character does not automatically make them cool - and this definitely does not work with this completely tacky cosmetically slathered "Sleeping Beauty" who looks like she's been chewing on her mom's lipstick.

Anyway, I don't think I'm going to watch anymore of this. My rating? Face palm.
