Silent Retreat

Usually, a horror cast would have one or two rowdy member, but in this "Silent Retreat" almost everyone is rude, offensive and abusive. A couple of characters who seems normal are either too bland or stuck in perpetual frantic expression to look normal as human. This is a shame because it might have some foundation for horror and the production isn't bad, but the constant bickering by obnoxious characters is all this retreat can offer.

A collection of dubious people stay in a cabin for the weekend, and these might just be the most offensive cast. They communicate with profanity, sexual harassment and completely illogical banter. At no point the movie portrays a functional team, let alone actual coworkers. Everyone is the over-the-top version of the most annoying stereotype, which is undoubtedly terrible to watch.

It's barely a horror as any shred of prospect is hidden under juvenile insults and terrible remarks wanting to be seductive talk. The photography involved and a few of the flashbacks are almost looking like they are going somewhere, but instead the characters would wander around aimlessly for nearly the entire movie. It relies on a shocking twist which is not sufficient to say the least.

The only haunting here is the horrendous shouting between the shady characters, and it's actually a pretty horrific experience.
