The Horror at Gallery Kay (2018) User Reviews

Not sure what to think of this one.

I dunno, maybe I'm just not cerebral enough to understand what this movie is trying to tell me. I felt a pretentiousness to the movie, as if I was automatically supposed to know the deeper meaning of the plot, and that those around me in a theater setting would be smirking if I didn't "get it" - but I didn't. It all seemed to be like an inside joke not shared with the rest of us commoners. Generally, I like, even prefer, offbeat movies that defy the preference of the masses, but this one escaped me. We have a lesbian couple, (and I only mention that because the moniker is mentioned in the plot) arriving late to a counseling session and gradually descending into chaos, but the entire cast was blankly acting, as if they were reading parts at a cast audition, or that there was supposed to be an air of dark humor mixed in with the horror, but I found neither humor nor any real horror in this movie. Plus, I had to look up what "dactyl" meant: a metrical foot consisting of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables or (in Greek and Latin) one long syllable followed by two short syllables. Whatever.... The film noir back-and-white flavor cast a harshness to the movie that prevailed throughout, and to me, served no practical purpose. I think the "artsier" folks would enjoy this flick, but for me, it was a bit too much talk and not enough substance.

Not a horror move - more a script recital

Can't do a long critic as I'm not going to give this movie more time - sorry.

Not a horror movie as such, with scenes, locations, money spent on it, etc. Its more a recital... just words... just that... the movie is just words. Sorry.

Try again please.

Thanks.
