Let them eat cake.
nogodnomasters13 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Albert (Reid Doyle) and expecting Rose (Cari Moskow) move into a house. Then suddenly seven years later Rose is grieving over the loss of her two daughters. Rose becomes possessed by a voice distorter and cloudy contact lenses. Turns out it is Legion again.

Very boring film. Tough one to sit through. The actors lacked charisma. Red Box owes me $1.85 for this one. Almost worth a hacker's punch. Nebula? Seriously?

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Terrible acting & plot that's the two!
minty10011 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Set in a beautiful home, a very poor attempt at acting with lousy sound is this films starting point. The couple are so wooden, there's no sign of any closeness between them. You would think they were estranged brother & sister not husband & wife. The death of their two daughters is part of the plot, the other part is that their deaths weren't caused by an accident, but, by a demon!! Storyline was obvious, predictable ' slow moving. Mother believes she can still hear & speak to her daughters. Follows so many stories of similar films. The very best part of the film was seeing the end credits. Please don't waste your time, energy or mind space. They don't make decent horrors anymore but, I keep watching the genre in the hopes I might find a gem.

Go back to Acting School!!
joanne-rollason18 August 2018
I go to an amature theatre school and i can act better than this. Absolute garbage!! The two main cast can't act for toffee! They're emotionless and sound like they're just reading off a script. Nothing worthwhile is happening. They're putting lights on in daylight for goodness sake!! Whoever the scriptwriter was nust have been off their head on drugs and alcohol. Seriously you all need to get a job in a supermarket. Hopeless.

Absolutely Horrid!!
ScotsGirl845 April 2018
I've seen some pretty crappy movies...and this is definitely one of the worst!! The acting is awful, the storyline is garbage..and it isn't even scary! Disney movies are more terrifying! Do not waste your time in watching this!

Avoid!! Avoid!! Avoid!!
lifelinespublishing18 February 2019
Please avoid this movie at all cost. watch anything except this., managed to watch the first twenty minutes then forwarded it to the end on what really happened, was really dissapointed in this movie would be an understatement.

The two main characters are really terrible actors, sorry to be harsh but that is the truth!

I think the story had some potential if it were carried out by true horror people.

Oh well, on to the next!

TERRIBLE!

The story line was bad just like the actors in the movie. The only good part in the movie was when the dad was listening to the audio and his eyes popped out, it had me laughing. This movie should be found under comedy not horror. Waste of time. The title picture was more scary then the movie.

thank you tubi
thorin_bane5 November 2023
I loved this movie. The main actor nailed the dad from troll 2 combined with the blandness of rod from berdemic. Amazing. His spouse somehow matched the deadpan or maybe just dead acting of the mom from troll 2.

Plot is hard to follow because I was playing a video game to keep me awake while watching this. Its worst sin is of course being bland, boring and forgettable. I don't even want to hate the actors, there is nothing to work with. I mean I doubt any of them will ever win an Oscar, but you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shi...

Sound...um don't remember much and I had a hard time watching because of the slight moving of the iPhone they shot it on. Can you please use a tripod. It's one thing to have a Shakey cam movie, it's another to just have wobble on the edges while the editor tries to keep the characters center framed.

The only saving grace was my wife and I watched some grifters on a documentary about Amityville. These people were worse actors than the ones from the terrible two. I don't know how anyone believes these 'psychics' and feeling a presence from the street, when even the lawyer says it was all a lie to sell books and movies.

$35,000 Budget Film = Great for Independent Film
MayFlowerBiscuit30 March 2018
Watched this film last night and I was pleasantly surprised. Read an interview with the filmmakers that they made the entire feature film for under $35K and shot it in under 10 days. The Terrible Two has unjustly been getting a lot of bad reviews but if you take the movie for what it is I was really impressed by The Terrible Two. Will this film ever win an Academy Award? No, but it was certainly entertaining and kept my attention the entire time...especially since it took place in one location. The acting wasn't great but it wasn't the worst I've ever seen. Look forward to seeing what these filmmakers can produce with some real money. I would recommend giving this little film a chance!!!!

Intrigued By What It Could Have Been
thomandybish-1511424 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This film was not great, but what fascinates is seeing glimmers of what it could have been. There's an undeniable Christian subtext in the film. The wife is shown reading the Bible, she questions her faith in light of her children's deaths, the counselor is mentioned as being a minister and from the couple's church--was this movie originally conceived for the Christian market? Other evidence--virtually no swearing, the absence of nudity or sex, minimal gore--suggests this. Also, the character of Nebula appearing for no good reason and her subsequent scene with the realtor suggest some sort of conspiracy/Satanic cult subplot that didn't play out, possibly due to script re-writes or editing. So what was this mess supposed to be? A Christian thriller/horror movie (don't laugh, it's been tried before!) ? The house being part of ritualistic serial killings to appease demons with human sacrifices? One can only surmise what could have been . . .

NOTHING SPECIAL
stphnjnnr24 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Its cold and windy outside and this was one of few films about to begin. I wish I had be brave enough to go outside for a walk. The film starts okay but it takes ages to explain the significance of the day and what happened to their daughters. And what part the Estate Agent played still eludes me. And why his mother suddenly appeared in their house to threaten them is still a mystery. Towards the end the Doctor appears dead in the shower. He shot himself with the husband's rifle. Where did he find it and why kill himself? Why did the couple not ring the Police? And what a total mess at the end. It left me in total confusion about the husband. Give this one a miss unless you are bored and can't get out of the house.

Unoriginal plot and bad acting
camillemcbride24 June 2018
I never write reviews but this was so bad I feel like I lost a couple hours of my life I'll never get back while wasting time watching this movie. It's too bad because it could have been better with a bigger budget.

Novelty Joke Shop Props
ebookgamer3 February 2020
I find it hard to find a horror movie these days as I have seen virtually all of them over the last 3 decades. I like leaving reviews when I enjoyed a movie. This one, however, is my first and lowest score. I want my time back. I hate myself for watching it til the end, to see if it got better. The knife props were obviously fake, you even heard the screech as the sprung fake blade entered the handle. Terrible storyline. Ham acting in many places. The kids can't act. More of a college made film. Only the actors and their families would think it was good.

They tried, and failed.
ahawk-6859010 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I don't want to be too harsh because I can tell there was genuine effort and heart put into this movie. But I feel like the people making it didn't put enough time into it.

To start off, the plot is incomplete and confusing. A couple moves into a house that turns out to have a horrifying backstory of evil occult ritualistic things. I would explain more, but I can't. There's no explanation given in the movie beyond "the previous owner was doing ritualistic deals with a demon so now the house is haunted." It's implied that the realtor who sold the house is involved, serving as the role of the house's "keeper," bringing in more people to it each time it finishes off a family so that the demon has new souls to feed upon. But is this ever explored? Nope. Do we ever get details on the rituals or anything? Not really. A random older woman shows up and harasses the couple at one point, then is seen in a later scene having generic banter with the realtor that implies both are involved with the ghostly happenings, but explains nothing more than that. The woman is never seen again and might as well have not been part of the movie at all.

The mom's acting feels unrealistic. There's a heavy implication that she's being slowly taken over by the evil energy of the house and that's why she's behaving strangely and getting angry and aggressive toward her husband. But the acting ruins that premise by making it seem more like she's just randomly acting crazy. This is especially the case during the ending, when she suddenly becomes bitter and hateful toward him out of nowhere, when previously she'd been more than ready to flee the house with him after seeing their daughters' ghosts. There's no real transition between her acting naturally and her acting "possessed." She just flips back and forth with no real cause, which is jarring and ruins the immersion.

The daughters' acting is also a bit stilted, seeming very forced and unbelievable. And you can't claim it's because they're kids, because plenty of child actors manage amazing performances. This is not one of them. I've seen short films with better acting and lower budgets.

Also, they really should have left out the scene where we see a ghostly entity on the roof during a flashback about what really happened to the girls, wherein we learn that the dad was temporarily taken over by the evil of the house (possibly implied to be the demon? It's not clear.) and snaps his daughters' necks as they lay unconscious on the patio. The demon(?) looks terribly cheap and cheesy, which just ruins any slight feeling of suspense or horror behind the concept. I see what they were trying to do there, but they shouldn't have. They clearly didn't have the budget to make it work, and instead what should have been a horrific realization moment becomes a mood-killing joke.

This could have been a good movie if they'd had a better script and more time. It all just feels very rushed, like the writer(s) just slapped it together with no real research and put it together over a single night. There are plot points that go nowhere, a generic "the house is haunted because demons" concept that could have been executed SO much better, and acting that ruins any tiny bit of horror that could have been.

It's not an original idea, but plenty of great movies have come from unoriginal concepts. It's all in how it's done, and this one was done very poorly. It feels rushed and unfinished. It should have been a short film instead of a feature-length ordeal.

Bless the actors who were in this film, because they did try. But they were nowhere near experienced enough to justify the time and effort. I can only hope they've had chances to improve.

Not a Horror Movie
dierkingl12 June 2023
Oh geez. This was a terrible movie. The house was lovely, but didn't looked "lived" in. The actors, please even LMN would not hire them for one of theri cookie cutter movies.

I wanted to watch a horror movie, but I watched a lack luster film that was not a horror movie at all. What were they thinking?

Very little action, just a lot of boring no emotion words. I don't know which one was worse, the woman lead or the man lead. Go back to voice overs and learn some emotion when you speak.

After I go to the end, I realize how the girls died, since it was not revealed in the movie. One day they are looking at a house, then next day they are mourning their 2 daughters.

Just save you time and watch something else, anything else.

The second word in the movie title is right
OakieRF28 June 2023
Terrible alright. Already wasted my time watching the whole thing, so won't waste much more here as it's all time I'll never get back. VERY poor man's version of Sinister without the quality, script, acting. Almost zero blood either, but certainly plenty of plot holes that never get explained. Only one in the movie that was good was the Real Estate guy, he should have played the husband. Only positive I can see coming out of this movie is the lead husband and wife actors were paid for their time. I hope they use the money to take acting lessons. You want scary kid horror - go watch Sinister with Ethan Hawke.

Masterpiece
jgbvxjqn25 October 2023
Best time of my life while watching this gem. Girlfriend and I were deciding what to watch when we ran across this art piece. Few minutes into the movie my wife decided she didn't want to watch it any further. Don't get me wrong, the movie though had an major indie vibe....kept us on our toes. My girlfriend is a little squeamish so she had her head down most of the time (maybe a little too much)...We got up to other things, if you know what i mean. Wink wink... nudge nudge say no more... 10/10 would reccomend to all! Amazing for couples who are trying to find something spooky and spontaneous this hallows Eve!

Give this one a chance!
reid6711 May 2018
I went into this one a bit skeptical after reading the reviews. I found it genuinely creepy and rather well done for an indie film. The script could have been a bit better, but watch for a strong performance by Cari Moscow- the scene in the garage is truly chilling. Give this one a chance- you will enjoy!

OH EM GEE!!!
teecot-122648 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I have never written a movie review but I had to create a whole account just to warn everyone else to NOT waste their time OR money on this movie!!!! It's been 2 hrs since I watched it & I'm STILL sitting here staring at the TV trying to figure out the deal with his friend/real estate agent & the old woman. I love a good movie, especially horror ones, but this one right here is THE WORST...did you hear me?! I said THE WORST MOVIE ON THIS ENTIRE PLANET!! I gave it one star ONLY because I couldn't give it a -100 stars (yes, that's NEGATIVE 100)!!!

Horrendous
tostesarantes23 February 2020
I couldn't enjoy a single minute watching this. It's horrible, but not in the right way a terror movie should be. A completely waste of time! I wish I could get those 90 minutes of my life back.

Just bad
purple_tx_dragon26 July 2020
Whoever rates this higher then a 1, I really think you need to re-evaluate your life. This movie totally bits in the worst form, and the acting is mediocre at best. Avoid this movie and save yourself from wasting almost 2 hours.

These reviews are better than the movie! Lol
candicedudley4 April 2019
I've unfortunately lost most hope in "horror" movies these days and learned not to have too high of expectations. So I tried to give it a chance.. I tried SOO hard with this movie. I really did!! I tried to ignore the absolutely HORRID acting and focus on the ....plot? But LAWDAMERCY, if he would of said ROSE one more ***** time I was gonna be high diving and floating down the Ohio River. I'm embarrassed for everyone involved.
