4/10
Should have been an hour shorter.
22 April 2023
This movie felt like an awful fever dream. I was looking forward to seeing it because it's set in a carnival and it's from the 70s, two things I love! I thought it would be an instant hit for me but it wasn't. I found it to be quite boring, it really could have been cut down to a 30 minute short film without sacrificing anything at all from the viewing experience. The movie had a lot of potential but they didn't make the most of the carnival grounds as a backdrop. The movie didn't offer me any reason to give it a second viewing. It had a couple scenes I thought looked neat but the visuals didn't ooze into other areas of the film. Most of the time you're staring at a plain black background. The movie doesn't look good and wasn't filmed in a way that made me feel engaged, it was amateurish and left me thinking what could have been if it were handled with more care. The characters are stiff as a board and I didn't really care what happened I just wanted the movie to end. The few death scenes that were in the movie were a bit comical in their corniness, they at the least deserve to be shared to friends as standalone clips.
