 Thanks for checking out this movie review video. Once again, this is a review So therefore there will be no spoilers on this because this is a movie that just kind of recently came out it's on the shutter streaming service and Once again, I totally endorse this this platform. It is awesome If you like horror, there's no reason that you shouldn't have this at right now And the other thing is this video is coming out before the deadline May 8th May 8th The pricing on shutter is going to increase So if you get signed up prior to that you're going to get kind of grandfathered into the old pricing Which is if you pay a year up front is $4 a month if you're going month-to-month is $5 a month So actually, I don't know how that'll work if the $5 a month like if you would only get that for the first month Since you're paying month-to-month. I don't know you'd have to look and I don't know what the price is going up To I was having a hard time actually trying to research that I just couldn't find it anywhere So I'm assuming it's not going to be crazy, but just to be safe sign up now If you've even been playing with the idea of getting shutter just do it. Trust me It is 100% worth it 100% worth it if you watch one horror movie a month It is definitely worth it. So anyway, that said this is a review for the movie monster party that just went up on shutter within the past few weeks and This movie I'm sorry. I'm looking down because I have notes on my phone that I just put there this movie Hit me in the middle. There are some things. I really liked about it There are some things I really didn't like about it overall It's fine if you like what you're hearing here saying spoilers because I'm not doing spoilers I would just say go ahead and check it out. I'm glad I watched it. It's one of those movies where I'm like I watched it I'm not upset that I spent the time watching it, but I'm not gonna watch it again most likely and it kind of seems more to me like If you do watch it once if you have any Interest in it past that maybe just put it on in the background while you're doing something So you don't have to fully pay attention to it. So anyway, so going off my notes I would say The music like the actual like full-on songs that were used in this film were Integrated extremely well. They went with the movie They added like a cool fun element to it And I really liked how the actual songs like straight-up songs were integrated into it now the underlying music the actual soundtrack Kind of off at times and I say that because like the very first song actually I will say qualifier the very first song in the film is Weird the way with what's going on and how it matches up. It's weird. It doesn't work for me The sound track throughout it gets a little out of control in my opinion It goes overboard because when it has like those moments of dread where it would it would be better to kind of like subtly Kind of add a little bit of dread to the to the moment It's like just hits you and it's just like dread and you're like, okay, let's let's you know, let's Take it down a little bit take it down a few notches like I understand what's supposed to be going on here And then I'm supposed to feel a certain way, but you don't have to hit me in the head with a hammer with this So that just kind of bothered me. That was one of the big things like they just need to pull it back a little bit with that stuff pull it back Very small thing in this I hate the way asthma is portrayed in movies. The other thing is there's there's a There's okay It's weird to me because there's the one of the characters has asthma and it's really like focused on but it has no implication Like there's no pretty much no importance to it in the film And it's just kind of a throwaway thing where I'm just like why was that even in there? But my my issue with the portrayal of asthma in films is it's not like a big thing But I actually have asthma so like I've had to use inhalers before Thankfully, I'm on some medication where it takes care of my allergies and my asthma at the same time So I haven't really had to use an inhaler in a while, which is nice But the way people use inhalers and movies are just like And then immediately you actually have to hold it like for a while Because then it's like in your lungs and it's actually like having your bronchia bronchi I think expand so you can get more air capacity More air lung capacity more lung air capacity Whatever So, but it's just a minor thing. It's just like a personal pet peeve I know a lot of people would see it and just be like yeah, whatever done bottom me all just saying that's a small thing So there's a really weird moment in this film that really threw me off and I was like this doesn't feel like it fits You should take this out It's actually comes off as being really stupid because there's nothing else in the film That is like that it's just like this one moment where a character has on the side to the camera and They break that fourth wall and at no other point in the film Does anyone play to the camera or talk to the camera or even look at the camera? So it's like why like why did you do this? It's just like It it's like a skip in the record and you're just like what? It's dumb. It doesn't make sense. It's just I hated it I thought it was a very poor choice You really just like messed up the flow of the film and and you make audience your audience be like why like why? Especially in retrospect after the film is done. Like why did you put that in there? There was no point. It's like the asthma thing like that character with the asthma no point The aside to the camera no point like why are you doing this and breaking it once you break the fourth wall You need to integrate that into the film You need to make that part of the film because breaking the fourth wall is a big no-no in filmmaking So if you're gonna do it, you need to play to it You need to incorporate it into the actual story and they didn't not one iota and it was just like okay. That's dumb So overall acting a few of the performances in this were really good really well done like You know robin tunny is is like the one like the bigger of the names You know she's from like the craft and she she did a pretty good job There are a few other people who did a pretty good job, but there are also some people that were really over the top Well, actually I'd say between just over the top and really over the top they kind of Fit in the middle of that. I don't know why I did it like this Well, I guess because it's like a graph going up So yeah, like in the middle of it is um, yeah there's some really over-the-top type stuff and it's uh Acting wise and you're just like all right just like the the soundtrack issue You're like tone it down, please tone it down just a little bit for me But overall I thought the acting was pretty solid appropriate enough One of my big issues I always have issues this isn't an issue with the the movie itself This is an issue with people putting out movie trailers period I always have issues with movie trailers Well, not always usually because they show too much of the film Literally, there are times where I go to the theater. I see a trailer and I'm like I just saw the whole movie I don't even need to see that and literally there are times where seeing the trailer will make me not see the movie Because I'm like that's the movie. I don't need to know anything else. I don't care to know anything else That's it. You gave too much away. I'm done. I'm not watching it And this is kind of a little bit of one of those situations where if you've seen the trailer for this movie You pretty much know what's going on. There are a few small surprises that happen throughout the film that I did enjoy So I'm sorry. There's like cat fur flying in the air. It's weird There are yeah, there are some small surprises that ended up working really well And they're fun and it's cool. But the problem is if you've seen the trailer it ruins a lot of the film But it's also I mean it's a fun enough time. So like if you've seen the trailer and you're like Oh, that looks fun. I kind of like to watch a movie with that premise Then I don't think you should Not see it like go ahead and watch it. But like I said, it's just worth watching once in my opinion Although I will say there is a small small payoff to having seen the trailer and then seeing the movie Is there some double entendre that ends up going on in the dialogue? Especially in the probably like first half hour of the film Where if you've seen the trailer and you pretty much know where everything's gonna end up going You see the double meanings in what's being said and you're just like, oh, okay That's clever because there is some clever dialogue writing. There's some Not that like some pretty cliche dialogue in here, but there's I think there's more cleverness in the dialogue than cliche. So it's kind of a mix It's not a super original script to be honest Um, but like I said, I just did a review for an independent film called the fear footage And one of the things I said in that review, which you should check out is um Like we're getting to a point where there really aren't any super original ideas because everyone's kind of influenced by some films Because there's so much film out there at this point So I don't really like fault the people who made this film for it not being super original I'm just stating like going into it. Just no, it's not super original. There's a lot of I I mean, it's kind of a face value premise in a sense, but it's a fun premise like I enjoyed it It's it's worth seeing this premise played out. Like it's good enough in my opinion. It doesn't You know make the film bad The premise is a decent premise Um, like I said, there are a few solid twists in there some more enjoyable than others But I think it's enough to keep you going Especially after you've seen the trailer and you're just like I know exactly what I'm gonna get You do get a few little surprises and you're just like, oh, that was kind of nice That was that was nice to get something. I wasn't expecting. So thank you um And then You know and I'm I'm doing a rating on this and I was going to rate it higher Until the very very end of the film happened and I was like Okay Because they went from being able to stop it at a logical Uh Like good point To going just going off the cliff and being like, let's just do this instead Let's take it further way further than we need to wait for it further than we should Especially because what ends up happening in the very very end has implications With the one of the main characters where like there's a whole goal There's a whole outcome in this film for this character That would tie things up that would take care of stuff And then what they do in the very end has implications that nullifies all of that And just makes it like and nothing basically mattered in a sense And it's like come on You didn't need to it seemed kind of more like let's get crazy like the filmmakers were like Let's get crazy now because we can like we have a little bit more on the budget. Let's go nuts Let's have fun like those are the moments where as a filmmaker you need to look at the whole thing View it from an audience standpoint and say Do I need to rein myself in on this right now? Do I need to stop myself from doing this or is this okay? Will this be good in the film? And I know there are probably some people who watch it and we're like, yeah, that's what I want because it goes It feeds to a certain Feeling that some people may have and I'm not going further in In defining that because I don't want to spoil anything with it because I think if you have had interest you should watch it but Like I understand there are probably people who are like, oh, I really like the ending of it And if that was you comment down here and let me know why that's fine Um, it's just my personal thing. Obviously all my reviews are just strictly personal opinions. So It's going to be different for everyone and that's good. That's what makes the world go around So, um, yeah for me, it just it went over the top and it It made me not like it as much. So I was going to go ahead and give this film out of three out of five stars With halves included. I was going to give it a three, but with that ending I'm knocking it down to a 2.5 Because I feel like it undid a lot of the stuff I kind of liked about it So it firmly put me in the middle 2.5 out of five is Right smack in the middle. So really that's how I feel about this film. There was a bunch of good There was a bunch of bad and it just put me in the middle on the film and I'm just like It's a 2.5 because I cannot say That I'm more towards the negative or more towards the positive. I just can't so um But like I said, you know, if you've seen the trailer or you've heard about this movie or This review makes you at all intrigued. Watch it. You know, there's no reason you shouldn't experience these films for themselves And here I am giving you my my personal opinions on this. Yours may be totally different Which is why even when you watch these reviews or anyone's reviews or read reviews or see internet movie database ratings or rotten tomatoes or whatever You should watch this film anyway Because you may feel differently about it because everyone experiences film in a different way I'm just giving you my experience my personal opinions. Check it out for yourself. That's what I'd say for everything But anyway, that kind of wraps this up for me Uh People throw out some more recommendations. Um, I'm going to be doing a movie analysis coming up that was um Requested by viewer uncle or subscriber to me uncle pete. I'm going to take care of that Uh, but going forward, I would like people to put down in the comments recommendations for films They want to see me either review or do analysis on uh on shutter specifically because I just want to keep pushing the shutter thing Because I just love it so much. I have nothing to do with them monetarily except i'm giving them my money For the service, but uh, I just like it. I like it a lot and I watch that way more than netflix at this point I used to watch a lot of netflix I watch barely any netflix now because I watch mainly shutter and that's that says something So yeah, so give me some recommendations down in the comments say i'd like you to review this or analyze this And just so you know if it's an older film on there I'll do the analysis if it's a newer film. I'm probably not going to do the analysis I'll do just this review without spoilers because it's newer and I don't want to put You know spoilers out there as much, you know like let more people experience it for themselves But if it's older enough people definitely should have seen it I can do a deep dive and give spoilers no problem Uh, the other thing is please please please if you've seen anything in any videos i've done Hit that subscribe It can mean a lot for my channel as far as growth and it means I can do more and it just encourages me to be honest Hit the notification bell if you want to know every time I have a video up And if you're the person who checks that out immediately or the few people who do It can really help with getting more views on it, which can help my channel out So I love that thumbs ups are cool You can thumbs down if you really feel like it that doesn't do anything because the thumbs up and thumbs down Really don't mean a whole lot to be honest It's mainly subscribing and putting down some comments because I want to interact with you guys But thank you so much for checking this out and until next time keep it brutal
