Person at the meeting: Well, tell you what. This wasn't happening when I grew up here. Wasn't happening a year ago. Wasn't happening last month. Something's changed. That's what we need to be looking for. Who doesn't belong?
Featured review
Slow and rather uneventful...
Yeah, I was lured in by the movie's rather interesting cover. And indeed, I was expecting this to be a monster movie of sorts, given the spindly arachnid-like legs on the cover.
But this movie wasn't a monster movie. Instead it was a movie about a degrading mind succumbing to a sort of psychosis. So it was quite far from what I was expecting it to be. But hey, maybe I should have read the synopsis before watching the movie.
So was "The Arbors" a good movie? No. It was watchable, yes. But the storyline was just way too slow paced, too predictable and had not enough interesting contents to it, which made the movie feel unnaturally long and dull. So writers Chelsey Cummings and Clayton Witmer didn't exactly churn out something that will knock you off your feet.
It should be said that the acting performances in the movie were good, especially by Drew Matthews, whom played Ethan Daunes. But it was a real shame that the storyline was so bland and predictable.
Visually then "The Arbors" was adequate. Don't expect to be blown away by a myriad of special effects though. Whatever special effects that were there were scarce and adequate enough. But luckily, "The Arbors" is not a movie that is heavily reliant on CGI effects.
Ultimately, then "The Arbors" is a movie that is very bland and forgettable. I doubt that I will ever watch it again, as the storyline just doesn't have the material to support more than a single viewing.
My rating of "The Arbors" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. It was an interesting and alluring movie cover, but the same didn't go for the actual movie.
