The Ritual Killer (2023)
Some really bad writing
"You got any family?"
"No. My brothers and sisters are still back in Africa"
What?? 3 writers and nobody's ears perked up at this lazy dialogue? The rest of the movie is littered with these amateur writing mistakes. There's either missing words, extraneous words or completely useless sentences.
How this movie could ever leave the page with these problems is beyond me.
All the rest of the problems mentioned by people are accurate. Short, useless scenes. Quick cuts. Bad fight sequences. Poor flow and pacing. Took me 10 mins to figure out this movie was going to suck. Do yourself a favor and resist the urge to watch this because of Mr. Freeman.
Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)
Not what I was expecting
Didn't know it was going to be a musical. Not that I have anything against musicals (I was a huge fan of Buffy's Once More with Feeling), but this was awful. I didn't make it to the end of the first song. Pop crap.
The two stars are simply for being different.
Amulet (2020)
I can't stands no more
The best part of the movie was the spooky sound effects in the first half.
The movie spends way too much time pausing and drawing out simple concepts for dramatic effect. I kept screaming "Get there!" in my head.
I made it to 1h17m where I ended up bumfuzzled in the woods and couldn't take it anymore. Didn't even forward to the end to see what happened because I just didn't care.
Change in the Air (2018)
There's a plot in here somewhere?
The movie goes seemingly nowhere; it just meanders around in set-up and nibbles at the edges of a story. This is what happens when you violate the prime directive of not having a clear Intention and Obstacle. Screenwriting students should watch this as an example of what not to do.
Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
Going nowhere in style
Stopped watching at the 1 hour mark because I couldn't see any Intention nor Obstacle and there didn't seem to be either on the horizon. Where'd the writer go to screenwriting school?? What a waste of good talent.
