Review of Dark Cove

Dark Cove (2016)
5/10
Blah, blah, blah...skip to the pay off ending
14 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, so I rated this film a 5 after weighing the pros and cons (My initial number was 3-4). The first maybe hour (at least it seemed that long) is incredibly boring. The dialogue is cringe worthy and not funny. Yes, maybe it is an accurate portrayal of teens and how awful their conversations are but that doesn't mean you need to film an hour of it. This is labeled as a HORROR so I naturally expected some horror. Half way through my boyfriend asked me "are you sure this isn't a teen romance?". I looked at the description again: Horror, Thriller. So I sat through hoping for some epic turn. That turn happened thankfully and I loved what they did with the end. The acting was pretty subpar in the beginning but a few stood out above and a few got better in time. The australians were all decent actors. I especially like the big guy and even said "I like this guy". Just after I spoke his acting went crazily over the top but I honestly got a good laugh at it so I can't complain. All of the acting went pretty over the top and was fun, thrilling, and amusing.

Overall, boring annoying beginning with a surprising pay day at the end. Don't expect anything to put in your collection but definitely worth a rainy day watch.
