Really dreadful, interesting premise with so many loose ends as to make the story really dull. Characters that look like they will get involved and then fade away, why things happen make little sense. I have no idea why anyone (apart from friends and family of the cast) would ever look at this. I continually hoped it would get better and then it ended, which was a relief!

Hellmington

Below average in every way

A few jump scares, but fundamentally a movie that is just chewing gum for the brain. Instantly forgettable. I watched with the hope that things would get better but it felt like there was a better story trying to get out but nobody knew how to make it happen. A truly confusing movie, not in a "this is too smart for me" way but as in "did some pages fall out of the script" way.
If there is really nothing better to watch, go for a walk....
The Blackout
(2009)
So bad it cannot be expressed .....

Warning: Spoilers
This was the worst film ever, at each turn you could either:
a) guess the outcome b) write a better scene
The movie had all the potential to be good, a interesting mix of characters (combined with the usual monster fodder "spare" people)
There was no real explanation of why all this was happening, despite there even being the techno/nerd character with the usual hardware
Why were so many points raised and then discarded. e.g. the smell of sulphur suggesting some demonic influence? The creatures being photo sensitive and yet showing no problem with light sources? Why did the black guy have a gun, and where did he get the second one from?
This was very much a made for TV movie, to be shown during the 2am -4am slot!
If there was a hope to make this into a series with humans valiantly battling each week for survival then please don't!
