Bad Building (2015) User Reviews

Yeah it was!

[Patient444 · 3/10 · 24 November 2015]

Overused! Cheap! Classic horror moves! No surprises!

It sure was a bad building, in a bad story, provided by a bad script, directed bad and acted the same. Some actors did better than others, probably those who believed they will make it big eventually and this is their rock bottom start. The extremely small budget made a huge impact sadly, I've seen better camera work and CGI in the 80s movies, the dialogue was as cheesy as possible and the ending surely did not help.

It was just another horror for me, nothing more. I love this genre, I watch underground such productions in order to put a honest, of course, personal review on IMDb and help out, either warn about the movie, or recommend it. This one is definitely a pass!

Bad Building trapped inside a bad movie. So don't make a bad night out of it!

Cheers!

Never mind that the premise of a building defending itself is both corny and cliché, this particular movie manages to wreck any kind of semblance to decent film-making. It defies all logic in such terrible way that it's not even funny laughing at it. Practically every overused gimmicks in horror is rehearsed and in so much worse way than even the most mediocre films.

This is definitely the lamest case of recorded breaking and entering. The cast is large, yet none of them is actually likable. Everyone seems very obnoxious, even the characters meant to be sympathetic. The entirety of the movie is basically one stupid patrol of this supposed grim building, filmed by the familiar shaky cam and needless found footage antic. Its structure is so flawed audience can shuffle the scenes and it would barely matter since there's little continuity.

Worse yet, it tends to be comedic much more than it is terrifying, which for a horror is has none. The victims die in such agonizingly silly ways, and coupled with extremely bad acting, it's the shallowest attempt at horror in probably this decade. People would cross their eyes as though they are in pro wrestling, make stupid faces and roll around like they are impaired by epilepsy as substitute for fright.

It'd be funny to see these people die like in bad high school drama, but it only ends up being pitiful.

Bad Movie

[blamdrum · 2/10 · 4 July 2017]

It's almost a shame this movie didn't crest over the point when a movie is SO bad...it's good. I kept waiting for that moment but it never came.

But it came close, and here are those moments.

The first moment was when the "film crew" was entering the "bad" building, and a few "creepy" bald guys peered out from hiding spots to watch them walk by. Their make-up was just terrible enough to be hilarious. Oddly enough the creepy blue man group never made another appearance in the film, almost like the filmmakers forgot they added them and include them into the "plot" later.

The second moment was when one of the female cast members, (I don't remember her name because there is virtually no character development in the movie)was pointing a gun into a room, and the door slammed shut on her hand, severing the hand off. What makes this scene hilarious is there is no attempt from the other characters to administer first aid of any kind. One would assume, at minimum a tourniquet would be used to stop the expected bleeding. One of the male cast says, "You're going to be OKAY"! A very funny thing to say to someone a few seconds after their hand is severed by a door.

The other "almost terrible enough" moment(s) is the idiotic crew they have waiting in a van outside the building while our would-be ghost hunters are being killed off one by one. The comparisons to the Scooby Doo cast can not be overlooked. The two women in the van lose contact with the rest of the gang in the building and keep dismissing the obvious tragedy unfolding with excuses of technical problems, or bad connections. If the filmmakers had shown the two women eating pistachio nuts with a disinterested uncaring attitude, or sitting in a van filled with pot smoke, or even in the sensual embrace of lovemaking, it would have been a home run!

Otherwise: Terrible acting, overacting, but let's be fair not even Daniel Day-Lewis could have saved this movie with a script apparently written by someone with serious attention deficit to story line.

Don't waste your time ...

Over acting, under acting, stock characters and a story line written by a ZX81. I have heard of some of the cast but no-non stands out.

You have seen it all done before a lot better but not much worse. Just pick out any abandoned building movie (like Mirrors) and it will be better than this.

I always like to say which bits were bad and which bits were OK but I seriously cant think of anything I like. Around about the hour mark I started to lose any interest in this film but stayed doggedly on until the inevitable conclusion. Around Christmas seems to be the 'Release the Golden Raspberries' time and this is one of them.

Sorry about the very short review but it is far harder reviewing a bad film than a good one.

End of line.

Bad Building...Worse Movie.

[Krackoon · 1/10 · 7 August 2015]

So, there's been a nice little trend going on in the horror genre the last few years - and by 'nice,' I mean crap. The trend: a group of ghost hunter's enter (insert building of your choice here) to increase their ratings and save their TV show.

Not only do we have to watch really bad reality TV, but now we have to watch really bad horror movies about really bad reality TV. I mean, what genius thought of this one? 'Bad Building' has it all - bad acting, bad lighting, bad audio, bad special effects, just all around bad.

Random Ramblings of a Madman: 'Bad Building' is one of those horror films so bad, that it doesn't even qualify for 'worst movie I've ever seen,' because it can't even pull off the humor necessary for such an awesome accomplishment.

A movie made by some really amateur guy

[faxirgulee · 1/10 · 26 November 2015]

A movie made by some really amateur guy, played by a dozen amateur ugly young people, watching it is losing time. No one of the people in this movie is an actress and they never will be one.

Worth watching

I liked the plot of the movie , its not found footage movie, which I thought it was going to be.

I liked the back story of the building, the intro took about a about five mins , which felt long, As the movie is only 75 mi long.

The movie starts, with the boss was giving group of thr TV show one last chance.

So they go to haunted building, that messing around with them and killing them of one by one.

There were one or two things, I liked about this movie but those are over shadowed by the bad stuff

I like the really bad acting from most of group, mainly the main lead role, he was the worst actor of the bunch

And the cgi effects in this movie, were the worst I have ever seen, it was bad, it looked like a really bad cartoon.

I did like the deaths scenes in this, some were a tad gory

It far from being one of being one ot worst movie, I have seen but it's had its moments here and there

4 out of 10

Stop me if...

[tmccull52 · 1/10 · 4 August 2022]

Stop me if you've heard this before:

1.) The star/host/director and his embattled, loyal crew are threatened with the cancelation of their paranormal investigations show if they don't start producing more exciting, compelling episodes.

2.) Desperate to save the show, the driven star/host/director decides that the team simply HAS to investigate the one place that no one should ever go into.

3. Access to the proposed site is extremely limited, so the team is going to have to break into the building.

4. One member of the team expresses reservations about the proposed project and plan, but is overruled by the others and basically forced to join them.

5.) No one knows that they're in the building, and there is no communication with anyone on the outside.

There is literally nothing new to see hear, folks; not a single damned thing. There is nothing fresh, nothing original, or anything that hasn't been done umpteen million times before. Go watch paint dry. Watch grass grow. Watch a dog turd dry up and shrivel in the sun on a hot sidewalk. None of those options is as distasteful or as boring as this movie.

Please give me my 75 minutes of wasted time back.

It's just incredible! Until now I couldn't even imagine that it's at all possible to make such incredibly bad movie. It's even hard to tell what is the worst part of it. Acting? Story line? Characters? Special effects? Camera work? Whatever you pick it's all bad. First, let's start with the story line. Well, it's weak and predictable. Not only it's weak and lacks of logic but also literally ridden with overused clichés. Another group of young people goes to another abandoned building, splits there and dies one by one. Characters are dull and acting looks quite unnatural. They even die in silly and impossible ways. Special effects are definitely not making this movie any better. They could have been OK for a one from the 60s or, maybe, 70s, but definitely not OK for a movie filmed in 2015, no matter how low the budget was. As for the horror component (finally, it's a horror movie, right?) there's nothing scary here. You won't find neither tension buildup nor even cheap jump-scares. Nope. Nothing except dimly lit corridors and empty rooms. Making long story short: don't waste your time.
