An Honest Review
The decision to give Nathalie Emmanuel's character an American background and an American accent made her awkward to watch, though she did it well. It just didn't seem authentic and that took away from things. The best friend was honestly the highlight of the entire film. It wasn't the acting that was an issue. It just seems like things were rushed during filming and unorganized during editing. It's fine for watching because you've never seen it but that's about it. I wouldn't be amped to share or watch again (and I'm a serial repeat film watcher). Watch at your own discretion/risk, it is what it is. - spiderman-55910 - 3 January 2023
Ready Or Not Part Duh
WARNING, contains spoilers: Nathalie Emmanuel is charming as always, and the rest of the cast doesn't leave me with much to complain about, but this film's premise feels heavily borrowed from the movie Ready Or Not, released in 2019. Granted there were no vampires in that one; but being misled and lured to a mansion, where nefarious things are happening, ultimately to be preyed upon... It's not even that long of a film, but it feels like it takes forever to build up to something. They should have cut some of that out and added a scene in which Evie could convince Grace of what had happened (maybe a FaceTime call is interrupted and Grace sees vampires in action?), rather than just heading over there with a bat to help Evie murder her cousin because she's a ride-or-die type of friend. It's not a bad movie, it just had the potential to be more. It's worth a watch and can be thoroughly enjoyed when expectations aren't too high.
