Waste of time
... View MoreGood concept, poorly executed.
... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreThis movie is cliche, of course, It has been done repeatedly since Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians. But, I kind of liked it. The acting was not B movie acting, I think each of these actors have potential. And the girl who plays Gabby. Heather Morris (Brittany from Glee) is really good in it. I looked on here to see what else she has done and am disappointed that most of her movies seem alike. I think if she were given a good movie, she could be a sought after actress.
... View MoreWhen I was about to start the movie, I had a clear idea of what I was going to find, but it turned out much worse. Not only I can highlight the unoriginal plot that this movie has, but also the bad execution of it by the actors, especially Perez Hilton (the one that completely ruined the movie), who made me cringe over and over with his fake reactions and exaggerated gestures. However, there is no awful acting alone, overacting is seen in most part of the movie, which made me believe I was in a poor remake of "Scary Movie".I could not connect or empathize with the characters either. They were boring, had superficial development, and some of them had nothing to contribute to the movie's plot beyond their unimportant death.This movie can be summarized in a death-after-death plot, with non-coherent actions and decisions taken by the characters that reminds you how unrealistic this is, and an excess of dialogue in senseless conversations that leads to pure boredom.The only reason I am giving this movie two stars instead of one, is because it was actually well filmed and the quality of the shots was actually really good. Some scary scenes that add a little bit of suspense to the movie. I do not recommend this movie to lovers of the genre... or to anyone in general. Just another movie more of the bunch.
... View MoreMost Likely to Die does something that many horror movies - especially low budget horror movies - fail to do, and that is to give time to develop the characters. They are not all likable, by any means, but I was not necessarily rooting for them to die. One particular death I even found quite sad. As such, there are certain moments that make you think about the characters, what they are going through, and you ask yourself 'do they deserve this?'That said, there are a couple of major drawbacks to this film. The first is pacing. While I appreciate down time between major action, allowing scenes to breathe and providing time for character development, for a horror movie there was too much down time. Perhaps this is because it was trying to develop too many characters; perhaps it wanted to convey the weight of the situation and how the characters were dealing with it. But whatever the reason, there was too much open time, leading for the movie to drag.The second major drawback is that, for a horror movie, it is weak on the 'horror' aspect. While not every movie has to be littered with gore, the kills were weak at best. Considering who the killer is, some of them don't even make sense. There is minimal tension, kill rituals were brought up and dropped, the masked killer is completely non-threatening, and the kills (save for one) aren't very creative.All in all, this wasn't the worst horror movie I've ever seen. I'd probably put it on again for background noise, or if I want something that focuses more on the characters than the actual horror. However, if you are looking for a well-paced horror movie with creative kills, this is not the movie for you.
... View MoreThose cell phone receptions are terrible when it comes to horror movies. Not that most of the characters would have the brains to use their cell phone when they should. But boiling it down just to that would do injustice to all the things it gets wrong. Then again, if you don't mind cardboard characters cutouts acting on stuff and a very obvious twist, you may be able to enjoy this.The ending though ... wow! How crazy is that? But I guess they thought one last shock/twist and they'd win the audience over. I don't think they succeed in that and hopefully my cryptic description didn't make it sound way better than it actually is ... Don't watch it on behalf of that please! You'd hate me afterwards as much as you probably will hate most of the characters in this ...
