Review of XX (2017) by Mattbrady99 — 31 Jul 2017
"XX" is one of the most embarrassing piece of **** I've seen this year. Never have I been so bored and yet dumbfounded of how clunky the film making is.
This is another anthology film, but it's too bad nothing connects to each other. Only thing in common is that it's horror. But here's the thing, the movie can't decide what it's trying to be interns of tone. Couldn't tell if it's a black comedy or a horror film. If the answer is both then the film failed hard, because those clash of tones mix with poor film making hurt the movie badly. One segment you get something super serious, but then the next segment is so goofy and silly, it's like I'm watching a different movie.
The segments themselves are not scary or creepy. And what is up with that stop-motion animation. Literately one of the most pointless things in any horror movie ever, as it doesn't add anything, just trying so hard to be creepy.
Not surprising when I found out that some of the directors have never made a movie before or don't really care for the horror genre. Four directors are involved with each segments and all of it was flat.
Doesn't help they got some of the worst actors to star in this "film". The acting was so bad and the dialogue didn't help. There's a scene in the short "The Box", where this father is yelling at his son at the dinner table was so hilarious.
I can't believe this is getting good reviews, as I question if I watched the same movie. There's nothing good.
Overall Rating: It's **** and you shouldn't see it. End of story.
