After Effect (2012)
this was so poorly written
This movie was awful. It sounded like a good idea but the execution just did not work. First, there were several scenes where the characters spoke like AI. Then, there were so many scenes that just didn't make sense. For example, they let the Black girl who snuck in a cell phone get killed unnecessarily. As they were running from the zombie everyone made it into the room except her and so the "leader" guy slams the door in her face claiming there wasn't enough time to wait for her when in reality he could have easily let her in without the zombie coming in behind her. I thought this was going to build up to him being revealed as a "control subject" who's on the side of the military and so he was sabotaging their efforts to escape since she snuck in a cell phone or maybe he was a racist and/or sexist and killing off the women and Black guy one at a time despite the experiment. But no that scene led to no big reveal. He was just stupid and slammed the door in her face while she had the cell phone for no reason. Fast forward they want to try to get the cell phone and so he agrees to open the door and let Riley run out to grab it and run back in. Riley is being chased back by the zombie the same way the Black woman was and surprise no one shut the door on her face. Next, at the end when the main girl is the only one alive, she somehow on her own at one time took down 4 armed soldiers who were dressed in riot gear. How on Earth did trained soldiers let her gauge their eyes out and kill them with her soft punches? It made no sense at all. Then, they finally shoot her and the movie just ends. It's definitely wasnt worth the watch.
The Immaculate Room (2022)
Great idea horrible execution
On paper this is a great concept. However, it was not executed well at all. Additionally, this was not a thriller as claimed bit was it suspenseful. About halfway through the movie I had to google the rest because the movie had mas no real progress by that point. When reading the plot summary I thought it was overly simplified and that there was probably more to the story so I kept watching and unfortunately the actual movie is just as bland as the online plot summary. There were so many missed opportunities to turn this into something good. There were so many directions this movie could have went but they chose the worst one. Plus Kate's character was just hella annoying for no reason. I definitely didn't think she deserved to be written with a happy ending. Her character really sucked. Also, she and Mikey weren't compatible at all. Im not sure what the writers were thinking when they wrote these characters. Again, such a great concept but horrible execution. Such a waste of time.
