The Abandoned (2015) is cliché, jump-scare ridden, piece of garbage horror film. Before I start my rant, I'll start off with what I liked. The atmosphere was creepy and the acting wasn't half bad. But Dear God, this film is awful. A dead rat acts as a jump-scare. A hobo knocking on the door acts as a jump-scare. A computer glitch acts as a jump-scare. WHAT THE HELL IS SCARY ABOUT THAT! Once we get introduced to the "monster" everything goes down-hill. I'll have to admit, once I saw the "monster" I started laughing hysterically. He looks like 'Sloth" from the Goonies. I had to pause the movie because I couldn't stop laughing. It was that bad. Then the film starts making no sense. I don't know how it could happen, but it rolls even further down hill. At this point, the film has gotten into a horrific accident. Then comes the plot twist. I saw it coming a mile away, and it is mind-blowingly stupid. This film was, at times, a "so bad its good" movie. But a majority of the film was so damn boring and predictable I can't even give it that. To be blunt: this film sucks.
