Initially I was lured in to watching "They Live in the Grey" given the movie's cover, but also because it was a horror/thriller that I hadn't already seen. And yeah, I did find the movie's cover rather interesting. So of course I opted to sit down and watch what writers and directors Abel Vang and Burlee Vang had to offer.
And as it turned out, then writers and directors Abel Vang and Burlee Vang didn't have a whole lot to offer. This movie is unfathomably slow paced. So slow and uneventful, in fact, that I was good and ready to give up on the ordeal a mere 35 minutes into the ordeal. The movie just utterly lacked momentum, and nothing worthwhile was happening in the insanely slow narrative.
Sure, actress Michelle Krusiec was doing a great job in portraying the troubled case worker Claire Yang, but come on, she virtually had nothing to work with in terms of a proper script and also had the pacing of the movie working against her.
This movie entirely fell short of entertaining me. It was simply too slow paced and too uneventful to provide me with any sense of entertainment or enjoyment. So "They Live in the Grey" is not a movie I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.
For a horror/thriller then "They Live in the Grey" just didn't deliver anything worthwhile and brought nothing interesting to the genre.
My rating of "They Live in the Grey" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars, and that is based on the production value and Michelle Krusiec's performance solely.
