There are amateur movies that have a heart and a love (and a respect) for horror that make viewers take notice and appreciate the effort and then there are amateur movies that just don't give a fffff. this is the latter.
wooden g*d awful distractingly bad acting, so poorly written, and so not scary (or creepy, or eerie).
but the best, the best was filming a car scene in a stationary "car" (or cardboard box) on a set with projector screen moving scenery while the "actors" sit completely still like they're chatting at a table in a bar. there's no body movement at all -- no jostling no bouncing not even leaning lol. i mean if you can't even convince someone you're riding in a moving vehicle then you're probably not ready to convincingly deliver lines. and so we care nothing about these expressionless life-size cardboard cutouts who've cringingly flatlined.
what i don't get is how you can be motivated to make a film but then not care to make a good one.
honorable mention: that pumpkin patch of obviously fake pumpkins. wow. just wow.
all in all a glaringly lazy lack of effort (and, frankly, respect). 2/10
