Low budget disaster with terrible acting
gustheaffen11 September 2019
Like a really bad backwards version of Halloween. With random weird ridiculous characters thrown in. And why were the weird cabin meat people killed when they were fine living there. Who knows, Who cares. Save 111 of your life. The acting was so bad. I hate when movies like this get high reviews by one or two prob related to the film.

Sum of bits
Call-Me-Mr-Smith24 September 2019
It seems that the lady director is on the path of becoming an established actress, and she likely used an opportunity to direct this movie as a vessel to improve her odds in the former. Her approach in making this piece was to assemble various bits seen in other horror movies and create a kind of the 'Frankenstein' of a horror movie. Well, the sum of these bits equals to (almost) nothing. What is even worse, the acting was sub par, including the above mentioned lead actress cum director. Add nonsensical script and modest special effects. The only bright spot was a horny topless girl whose role and acting was worth of the worst horror movies that actually turned into cult classics, which is a good thing. Alas, there was not enough of her to sustain the attention for a longer period. At the end, Don't Look? Yeah, kinda...

Scariest part is i cant get my time back
mlhare28 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Movie might have been okay if the acting was better. The girls' screaming were more annoying than scary. Everytime one of them screamed i wanted to slap them. The body of the movie could have been decent and the ending might have been good, especially as the killer nonchalantly just walks passed the burning barn, wth?! I think there was potential to be had though which just makes it worse. The twist of then ending was okay but he lived there for how many years without killing then he just starts. How would he even recognize his sister after like 10 years? I hate to call it stupid when i did enjoy parts and was let down in the end.

Grab a drink and pizza and settle in

This is one of my top 5 terrible horror movies - it is a new definition in terrible and I highly recommend watching it. Here's why:

The acting is so bad it gives 'The Room' a run for its money.

Who cares about the plot when you can be classist, kink-shaming and homophobic? Not the writer that's for sure.

I think it might have been edited in windows movie maker.

Strawberry jam is blood now.

This movie was a laugh-a-minute, and a must watch for any fan of terrible horror movies.

Not worthy of a Youtube Listing!
pubquiz13 July 2020
You know when some You-tube wannabe pinches some clips from other users and paste them together in some crap video editing software,

Well think of 20 scenes you horror movie's from the past 20 years and stitch them together while allowing a number of your production crew (if you can call them that) to get in the way of the camera (probably an Android phone) and this is what the end result you get.

As a horror film Zero stars As a comedy Nine stars

It is that bad you may wet yourself...

despite other reviews, i found this actually pretty good
randysmith_46 April 2020
This movie is getting killed by ratings I've read.....I watched a movie called "pickaxe" just before watching this and both movies are kinda like 80's slasher movies....pickaxe was one of the worst movies I've ever seen for bad acting, horrible mistakes and stupid kills.....THIS movie, however, was pretty good...the acting was not as bad as others say, kills were cliché at times but still good for horror movies...ending?.......so-so at best but I was still entertained and at least THIS movie didn't find me wondering if I should turn it off or not......

Definitely don't look
K_Rad8818 July 2020
That was the worst movie i have literally ever seen. don't even watch it ironically. the acting was SO BAD, the gore was subpar, the title literally only makes sense if it's directing you away from watching the worst thing you'll ever clap eyes on. it is RIDDLED with plot holes and not a single twist to it. i would give it negative stars if i could, oh lordy

I almost gave up on Tubi, but
draftdubya11 April 2020
It's like watching a plumber mess up a job and get sprayed in the face with shiat, but you just keep watching. I'm sure that the users that gave this a 2, felt like trying not to look at morbidly obese person eat, while looking at them out the side of their eye. The Hispanic girl changes her accent every 5 seconds.I admit that girls were cute(on the border with fat face), and not the bag-o-antlers bony chicks. /BTW: Can you guys get off the rural no cell service bullshiat in 2019. I'm glad it was on Tubi, so I can grab a beer when the ads pop up.

Slasher throwback
BandSAboutMovies11 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Five New York City millennials escape the big city for a Thanksgiving weekend in the country. That said, as happens in horror movies, their peaceful getaway is soon interrupted by a local psycho, who may have a connection to one of them.

Luciana Faulhaber wrote, co-produced, directed and acted in the film, of which she says, "It was important for me to create work that shows the female characters as they are in real life - none of us are waiting to be saved by some Prince Charming."

This throwback to slashers moves pretty quickly, looks good and has some fun scenes, such as when one blindfolded girl believes that her boyfriend's blood being sprayed on her is just his premature ejaculation. I've never seen that in a movie before!

I've said this before - and will again, I can be a broken record - but even the lowest rung slashers of the early 1980's rival the scares of the best films of today. Don't Look won't change your world but is a pleasant look back at the stalk and kill films that ruled the drive-ins and theaters of, let's say, 1981.

Don't Look? more like don't watch
jaishahke16 August 2022
The acting was horrendous. The filming was horrendous. Would never recommend this movie to anyone. Disappointing for a 2018 film.

After 15 minutes of watching we had to stop, the acting was cringe and fake.

My Review Of "Don't Look"
ASouthernHorrorFan9 June 2019
The story is a typical slice and dice,s driven horror one with archetypal weekenders in the wrong place. It embraces all the things we love about classic splatter films which focus on bloody kill shots, cheeky humor and masked psychos. "Don't Look" doesn't break new ground but it does a good job maintaining the ground it covers.

The characters are developed more than you typically see in this sort of movie. Even as stereotypical as they are, the characters are entertaining and attractive enough to keep your attention. Some of the delivery of lines fall short of intent. At times interactions feel contrived, but never more than is acceptable in low-budget horror.

A big draw for any indie horror fan is the practical effects.. "Don't Look" takes on the bloody carnage in the same visceral, gory delight as any big budget movie. And it works. My biggest connection made while watching, was how much like "Bloody Bloody Bible Camp" and "Sleeper" this movie felt. That old school, fun gory messy style.

Yeah, "Don't Look" has some cracks. Some actors give you that "next" feeling in certain moments, you can't analyze the mythos too deeply, and some instances seem forced. But honestly most horror movies carry that flaw. Overall this is a fun, gory indie horror that most fans will appreciate. Check it out for sure.

Im not a farmer but I know a little about ploughing...
warehousereviews1 October 2020
Don't Look? More like Don't have a original idea..

Was watchable enough don't get me wrong.. but good lord it was just a 111min long cliché. Why do these directors always have their "characters" make unrealistic decisions? Like who in the hell would leave the nice house they were staying in, to go have sex in a dingy barn with meat hanging everywhere... other than to be put in a place where the killer can get them one by one.. Can you not think of a better scenario?!? Its a movie where the main characters are so unlikable and stupid that you hope for the villain to win... I mean some dumb bimbo is hiding under the bus.. the killer goes into the bus, and she must be able to hear him, cos he aint sneaky.. and what does she do? Crawls out under the friggin door!! not the opposite side of the bus... under the door .. the one place she knew he would get her from... so f**n dumb.

The gore was ok.. had some good kills.. but even they were the same vanilla style b.s you see in the 1700 other cheap horror movies on here, I mean the killer starts a generator, hooks a guy on a chain, pulls him on to some farm equipment ,and then just walks off?!?

This movie is uninspired, rehash of everything wrong in modern horror.

If there was a checklist for clichés, this would get a perfect score.

Oh an the soundtrack was frickin hideous. that opening song gave me ear cancer.

Had potential
hawksfan-6782931 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The main actress has the worst, most fake scream in cinematic history. The guy with the accent, the tough guy, I wish would have been killed in the first 30 seconds he spoke. I love a good cheap slasher film but this was a let down cause of the acting. This had a decent story, compared to very similar storylines, but the acting was below par. Remake this with better actors and a little better special effects, you have a hit.

I really had high hopes for this movie. The music was good, the story was good. Being one of the girls past life, but the actors didn't seem to care much for their roles.

Pretty solid simple-minded slasher
kannibalcorpsegrinder4 March 2020
Taking a road-trip together, a group of friends head out to a relaxing getaway at a remote house in the countryside for a relaxing getaway only to come across a series of locals that hinder their plans, and when a vicious killer shows up and knocks them off one-by-one they try to find a way of stopping the madman.

Overall, this was a pretty decent enough slasher effort. What works great here is the isolation and sense of solitude found here as the group slowly becomes aware of what's going on. The fact that their ill-at-ease out in the country, reacting unfavorably but still graciously to the conditions out in the wilderness and to their neighbors who drop by to hang-out with them that sets a great tone for later on when it starts to focus on the psycho family out in the woods. The initial scene of them arriving in the farmhouse while the couple is attempting kinky foreplay and the mistaking of their comforting of her tied up as her partner generates some solid chills and suspense, and the aftermath of it all starts this one rather nicely. An ambush in the woods where a necking couple is attacked with a chainsaw gives this some fine bloodletting and gore which sets up the chilling stalking in the finale where they get chased through the woods and are forced into rather unconventional tactics to prevent being killed off by the masked madman. Filled with some solid gore and a nasty edge to the kills, these here are what make the film work in a solid, old-school slasher style. This one does have a few minor problems to be had here. The biggest issue here is the pacing featured here, which is strangely odd in a film with such a brief running time to be at a place where the general tempo here is so scattered. This one shouldn't take until nearly the halfway point to get started with the stalking scenes and being obvious that something's going wrong as the get-together between everyone at the various stops before they arrive or the extended dinner-party that barely has anything going on would be a part of a film like this. That it doesn't bother much in the way of any other kind of traditional build-up since the majority of the time is spent on the creepy dinner they all attend together that just don't have much of any interest in building up the plot. That carries over into the finale where the utterly unnecessary sequence of carrying on the girls getting stuck at the bus through all sorts of implausible manners that are rather inconsequential and just keep them there for no reason. As well, the film's other issue is a startlingly underwhelming resolution that feels weak and doesn't have any real emotional impact with no build-up at all since this is quite underwhelming overall. On the whole, these aren't too bad but do manage to hold this one down just enough.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.
