The Recall (2017)

Cliché Ridden Snoozefest--Avoid! Possible Spoilers...

[1/10 · 7 June 2017]

Possibly the worst sci-fi/horror film I've ever seen. Every cliché from the alien abduction genre is trotted out to dull effect. The acting, if you can call it that, is below the level of a third rate high school production. This was like a lower tier SyFy Channel production with a curse word and tiny bit of skin thrown in with a few splattery gore (mild) f/x to get that R rating. The projection gimmick was an afterthought and added absolutely nothing to the viewing experience. I can honestly say I didn't find one positive thing to say about this very mediocre effort. It's a shame someone with vision, talent, and an original idea didn't have the resources these filmmakers did to turn out something really incredible. An embarrassment for Wesley Snipes. Avoid!
