The Reading (I) (2023)
1/10
ABSOLUTE TRASH
13 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The actors were mediocre, at best. That's a compliment.

The resolution of the shots were never adjusted to fit the scene. At one point, I was squinting to bare the brightness.

The writing was ABHORRENT. How the hell did 3/4 of the characters not grab a single weapon until the end? And when they did grab a weapon, it was just putting on extra clothes? This woman is RICH. I can guarantee nothing she owned was light. Pick up a book, a statue, a chair... SOMETHING!!!! Then, the friend stood behind her for an entire monologue and grabbed nothing to foght with? Did grab anything to strangle her with? Then, she cried on the steps as she WATCHED HER FRIEND DIE?

This movie is a shining example of what's wrong with thriller/ horror movies today. There's no actual good writing; just poorly manufactured scenarios intended to increase shock value. I'd love to see a thriller/ horror movie where the people are actually smart and do smart things, but the killer(s) are always 2 steps ahead.

After a 13-year feud, THIS is the comeback Daniels has to offer Monique? And she ACCEPTED it after reading it? No, this was passive aggressive revenge from Daniels to Monique. Canceling my subscription and hoping for better for Monique & FROM Daniels moving forward. Waste of my damn time, man.
