Alone (2020)
The Korean version is better...
The acting in this is asinine, the main character lack of emotions in reactions to the events that's unraveling is just BAD, his flat emotionless non tone face is unconvincing of emotions, and how for the KICKER, so not only is this movie poorly directed and acted. But the writer, I assume also pitched a version of this story and they made a Korean version of it, which is MUCH MUCH better overall in terms of acting casting and production, released as ALONE in South Korea back in FEBRUARY 2020, renamed to #Alive for netflix release, its a version of the same story just done with better acting and production.
SO the Horror, its shock value, with that being said since its only shock value, its now you add the main character who lacks emotions in his response to everything that's happening is just bad. This dude acting makes the very flimsy story line even WORST.
The ACTING and as we can see from the popularity of #alive on Netflix, so it comes down to whose at mistake it was, since the Korean version was super successful and popular, and this one falls FLAT. Was it bad directing? or Bad casting and acting?
Save yourself some time and money and just watch the Korean version of this movie, its much better done in terms of production value, cinematography, direction and especially the acting.
Undercover Chef (2020)
when your too poor to hire a real chef to host
The host look likes he's only been a line cook for his whole life LMAO, no charisma no character, bland personality, so you know the food is just as bland, everything he made in the first episode is just covered in semi-sweet sauce talk about free diabetes, no innovation no creativity with food, cause I know he ain't consulting for fine dining or modern dining that's a fact. His line cook approach to everything.. calling the host a chef is an insult to real professional chefs.
Everything he cooks has been done before literally basic bar food and the problem is other people COOK IT BETTER and the presentation of the food is like someone had vomited on a plate and served it.
This is a VERY VERY VERY SAD ATTEMPT at a restaurant make over show, low grade production whats even worst is the food the host makes, anyways 1 episode is enough time wasted for one lifetime, I would tell the host not to quit his day job but literally hes bad at both. the short version: Watch something else.
Mediocre low grade chef teaching horrible home cooks who own restaurants more mediocre low grade food that's only slightly better than their home cooking.
