Neptune165 Review of Saloum

Saloum (2021)

I wish i felt the characters/history a bit more by the very end

[4/10 · 21 October 2022]

BORING. Repeated ideas from previous movies, nothing new. This movie had zero redeeming qualities... sorry- it was just bad... I've gotta be more choosy about what I go to see on a cheap Tuesday movie night- some shows aren't even worth the $5...! Ok, I don't know how this is getting so many good reviews, I'm not going to lie, but, this is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. Trust me when I say this, DON'T WATCH IT. There's no issue with Saloum effectively switching up genres every 30 minutes, but one wishes each section had a little more meat to chew on. The execution isn't the most polished, and the shaggy presentation occasionally undermines the impact of the aesthetics. The creature design is primarily underwhelming, lessening the terror towards the finale.
