Blame (I) (2021) User Reviews

In what universe are people from Chicago unable to deal with a polar vortex?

[aarpcats · 3/10 · 28 November 2021]

First plot hole: photogenic young city millennials plan a winter vacation. They are unable to use their phones, car radios, televisions, newspapers, or local store owners to comprehend the fact that a giant snowstorm is coming. Even though they live in a city which is often subjected to blizzards, they head off to an even snowier area without putting snow chains on their tires.

Second plot hole: the millennials put their phones in a bag in the back of the car. When the inevitability break down, no one seems to remember that they have the phones.

Third plot hole: They break into the only school in the US with working heat and lights, but no alarm system.

Fourth plot hole: Even though there is a snowstorm and they have broken into a school with bathrooms, one of the group "goes around back" to pee outside.

Fifth plot hole: How did they hear "noises in the bushes" over the sound of a blizzard?

Sixth plot hole: Small town Wisconsin police dress like Columbo?

Seventh plot hole: Where are the black and brown friends? Have you been to Chicago?

Eight plot hole: who goes out into a snowstorm to steal an SUV?

I could go on, but you get the drift (pun intended).

Unwatchable.

No need to watch this

[gaarauzumaki_992 · 3/10 · 13 October 2021]

Honestly if you are out of ideas, go rewatch something that you know you like.

This is a generic student film with some budget behind it. The plot is bad, the acting is even worse.

Maybe if you watch it with your friends with a couple of drinks you can laugh at a lot of cringe dialogue and acting scenes. But watching this alone? Don't do it to yourself.

At least they didn't stretch it to two hours or something so there's that I suppose.

Really?

[amandarosetweets · 3/10 · 30 January 2022]

The writers set the movie in Wisconsin and don't even make sure the actors pronounce Wausau, their vacation destination, correctly. The acting is super cheesy and makes it incredibly painful to watch. It was so bad, I wondered if maybe it was supposed to be a satire.

Nonsense

[agm-78108 · 2/10 · 5 November 2021]

I honestly don't know who would rate this movie a 9 or 10. There was no great mystery or suspense here.

So much of it made no sense. Why did Logan try to kiss his step sister? That was not explained and added nothing to the movie. Logan and Blake are supposed to have been friends for most of their lives but they turned on each other in a second! And I can see Mia supporting Blake's lie but why would Ella agree to lie to the cops? Ella is supposed to be Andy's best friend.

Other things that made zero sense: turning off their phones when they didn't have directions to where they were going. The police touching all the evidence without gloves. Ella going around the back of the building to pee during a severe snow storm AFTER they had broken in. Why wouldn't she use the bathroom inside the school?? The police explaining to teenagers that they had video of everything & that it's called surveillance. This is 2021. Also before the trip Andy is telling her friends about cameras her parents have set up in the house. And Blake waved at the camera at the gas station. I could go on & on. It was just awful.

The acting was the worst I've seen in a long time

[lovelyxnight · 2/10 · 22 November 2021]

Not one person could act out of this cast, it was unbelievably bad. I could not make it through the whole film because it felt like it was a bunch of high school students acting out their first play. Awful.

Don't watch

[chellmi-07455 · 1/10 · 21 September 2021]

I am sorry to say that the acting was bad and the movie was time wasting. Everything seemed false and not believable. Do not waste your time by watching this. I am very disappointed as the story line sounded good, but the movie did not deliver.

Wasted time, nothing else!

[matejicjovan · 2/10 · 23 September 2021]

The whole movie looks like it was filmed by amateurs. The story is nothing special, because when I want to see a thriller movie I expect to be surprised at some point or at least some suspense, in this case it was just linear from the start to the end. The acting was bad too, I will give 2 out of 10 just because I liked the snowy environment. Don't waste your time on this film!

Wasted 1.5 hours

[timberwolf-03371 · 2/10 · 6 February 2022]

To movie directors who have no common sense: You can waste your money making these dumb stuff but please don't waste our time. Can someone explain to me why one would go out into a blizzard to try find a spot to pee, right after they just broke into a school? The movie should be called UNFATHOMABLE.

Snooze fest!

[lilliahmadpour · 2/10 · 27 November 2021]

I only kept watching because I knew they'd be murdered, lol. Snooze fest for sure. Boring with horrible, talentless, emotionless acting. Hard to believe that anyone would actually enjoy this movie.

Horrible

[medictfd · 1/10 · 5 February 2022]

Horrible horrible horrible. I've seen better acting in a middle school play. Don't waste your time. Not a single good acting performance. Absolutely a waste of time.

Suspenseful - Worth the Watch

[Knarf1983 · 10/10 · 21 September 2021]

Nice thriller - Written very well. Watched it with a group and we each had our own thoughts about what the ending was - and we were all wrong. Love that. Fun watch for sure.

Alright waste of time

[confirmeddeath · 6/10 · 22 September 2021]

Not the best movie, but not the worst movie either.

A lot of flaws, but if you can look past those you can waste your time on this if you are bored.

Flat and boring.

[psychowitch87 · 2/10 · 21 September 2021]

The dialogue was 80% fighting and drama. No depth in the characters at all.

There was some weird and awfully stupid decisions that made no sense, not even in a movie. It was like the characters were really really dumb.

It could actually have some potential if the actors were better and the characters had more depth.

Don't waste your popcorn on this one like I did.

When Student film made with a decent budget

[sanjidparvez · 2/10 · 21 September 2021]

Pretty dull thriller. Mostly the script & characterizations were lame & one dimensional. The main idea or plot wasn't nothing new but could have been done with a more intriguing approach and obviously with a better script.

Overall, felt like watching a student film that somehow managed a decent budget & production value.

Skip it, save its 86 minutes of runtime and spent that with friends & family instead.

Insanely stupid

[damorejj · 2/10 · 3 March 2022]

5 close friends caught in an abandoned school during a blizzard. They split up and discover that one of them was killed with a hammer. They immediately start blaming each other...unreal. What kind of friends do that?! Not to mention that the acting was horrendous. Logan didn't even seem upset that Andy was dead. Yes he didn't like her much but I think someone would have a stronger reaction. The script was atrocious. Why was it necessary for them to tell each other what they did that morning in detail?! What the hell does that have to do with anything?!?

Also, if you find your friend dead with a hammer in her head, you DON'T TOUCH THE HAMMER!! Stupid moron Blake goes and throws it. Instead of casting blame on your good friends, wait till the phones come on and the police can check the prints. That simple.

This movie was so stupid. And who goes around the back of a dark school in a blizzard to pee when there's bathrooms in the school!!

Bad all around

[deweezil1 · 1/10 · 19 November 2021]

Must have looked good on paper. Terrible acting even worse plot. I can't even write 150 characters required to submit a proper review. Good thing is I didn't pay to watch.

Don't do this to yourself

[sooshmoo · 1/10 · 20 November 2021]

I was tricked into this movie by the 4* rating on Prime. Clearly going back now and reading the reviews, those people have not watched this movie. This is horrible. Torture your enemies with this film. I actually lasted 45 minutes before I was like "This bish is so annoying if she doesn't die soon she HAS to be the killer!" Don't know. Couldn't finish it. Every stupid teen thriller cliche you can think of. And who takes a 'vacation' to Wisconsin in dead ass Winter if they already live in Illinois. Totally unrealistic from the beginning. Ugh. Bad.

don't BLAME me

[manresa314 · 2/10 · 16 January 2022]

If you waste 90 minutes of your life watching this crappy movie. Take heed to my warning and please pass. Extremely amateurish. Nothing good about this dud.

Tepid Thriller.

[jhmoondance · 3/10 · 17 December 2021]

Well......I have just watched this so called suspense action thriller n it was anything but! It was a weak attempt at an amateur story n plot. There was no charisma between the actors n characters n this made for no tension or suspense throughout the movie. It was definitely lame.

The acting was below average n the characters were so irritating .

Even the background music couldn't add to the atmosphere. There simply was none.

The ending was so predictable it was cringeworthy. I have seen better episodes of Columbo with more suspense.

I can not recommend this movie even though I gave it 3 stars for effort.

Can't believe I wasted my time on it...

[ae00505 · 2/10 · 26 September 2021]

It is really a movie without any real brain used in it from any side, Actors, Director, Story and even sequences.... Perhaps dirctor thoght it will be good idea to enact a simple situation of a crime whcih was actually an accident. And then people plabe a BLAME-GAME and finally will lead to a real murder. Then will try to hide and wet get caught at the end. A very small interesting point which needs a real master piece of director's job to produce a good eye catching moving from it; otherwise, there was nothing in the storry itself to make a good movie; and pathetic acting made the movie a sleeping pill for movie lovers.

I have a folder in my movie collection named "Boring collection." This movie is going to find a place there, I like crime mystery and thrillers though.

Slowly the rating has depleted to its deserving value and that too is still larger than it shoud have...

Loved it!

[wwforlife · 10/10 · 21 September 2021]

If you like a good "whodunit" you will enjoy this one.

It is suspenseful, but not scary. Has a great plot and solid cast. No agendas driven in this one, just a fun, entertaining movie!

Starts slow but finishes strong

[shaneflynn-76485 · 6/10 · 27 September 2021]

A little rough around edges but the story was good and the twist at the end was solid.

Camera work and production was legit Sound track was good.

Are we living like the olden days?

[nogodnomasters · 3/10 · 4 October 2021]

Five close friends decide to leave the friendly city of Chicago in the winter and travel through a blizzard to get to a cabin in Wisconsin. We discover later they all have their secrets. They are forced to break into a school in order to survive. They split up and later they find one of the group dead, bleeding from the head. At this point they turn on each other.

The story is slightly interrupted by an investigation that takes place later or else it was simply poorly edited. It made it confusing as if there was some entity in Wisconsin that kills people. Didn't really like the characters. Not the cast from "Friends."

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Just... awful

[pyrobabe13 · 1/10 · 17 November 2021]

Made it 20ish minutes in (wanted to quit at 10 but I tried to power thru). I wanted to kill all the vapid, annoying and poorly acted characters myself from the moment they were each introduced. But they get worse! It's awful. Just.. so very awful. Please don't waste your time.

You've Never Used A Bow Before???

[wandernn1-81-683274 · 2/10 · 11 March 2022]

Whodunnit???? Really a sad commentary on how stupid people really can be. I mean, the whole movie seems very pointless. Why would you kill someone for something you weren't even sure of? And even worse, why would you cover for a person who did such a thing for no apparent reason???

I just thought it was pretty much pure Crud. 2/10.
