Mandy (I) (2018)
2/10
Twenty mins was all I could stand.

Where do I start?.... well for a start the three daemons arrived from hell riding quad bikes!, Now it strikes me if your going to give you daemons quad bikes... why not got he whole hog and give them mobiles? Seems logical. But No, these three were summed up from the pit by a guy blowing on a shell in a wood.... I'm going to leave it there, because I turned it off. More then anything it was the way it was shot. Just about every clichéd trick in the "idiots guide to film making was used". All I can say about those that found the film amazing! is: low IQ.

If your say, in your late teens or maybe early twenties you might just like this film. Younger people are easier to please in my experience. I'm sure that's the audience target because much over that age group and I think you'll probably be too sophisticated to find this film entertaining. The film is really let down by the script which is neither clever, insightful or funny, it's just juvenile. It's verbal Slapstick. The 'plot line' and I use the term advisedly, doesn't quite hold up or ring true. It contradicts itself as does the characters. With a better script and direction it could have been far better. I'm not sure what it was trying to say,I expect nothing.

Dross

Shot as a semi documentary. Annoyingly none of the actors behaved or acted as a normal person would should they find themselves in this situation. The script had them running around aimlessly screaming at just about everything. It would have helped them, and us to follow the action, if they'd turned a light on but for some reason that thought never struck any of them.

It's written to a well worn formula. Nothing original and quite frankly in bad taste. It solely relies on movie cliché. And on top of that the film seems to have been shot on a handy cam with the lighting supplied by a couple of flash lights.

Dire dross.

so so at best

Where do I start? The film failed on so many levels. It presupposes that for one night of the year criminals and lawlessness rules. It says: 'Your even free to murder'. In doing so it splits the world into the good and the evil. Basically Americans that want to live and American who want to kill other Americans.

Now you would think perhaps, with just two hours to go, the streets would be empty. But no, a young couple are out shopping. Personally anyone who leaves it that late to do their shopping deserve what they get. On the way home rather than discuss the mayhem which is just about to be unleashed on their city they chat about their relationship. Who would do that? Seriously? No one that's who. Only actors in a daft film where the script writer has no imagination.

The film went on in this vain. People acting, not as real people would act, but only as actors would act playing real people. Its a film written and directed by people who have been brought up on watching too much crap TV. The film doesn't examine the morality of the topic. Nor does it attempt to set out any moral arguments, good or bad. It also fails to make any social comment. It was, in short, a work of fantasy. Lots of people being killed. If you like to see a film where lots of people are killed for no reason, then watch this, your'll not be disappointed.
