Very disappointing...

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

So insanely boring and filled with unlikable , unrealistic characters it's maddening. every time Kal Penn opens his characters mouth something embarrassing happens . It's almost like it was written by an alien trying to figure out how humans act . Was this meant to be a horror movie or spoof ? I'm honestly baffled and desperately seeking for something good to like . I've sat through "the amazing bulk" and "the night of the bloody apes " and find those to at least be watchable in an ironic way ... I'm struggling here .

"The Girl in the Photographs" is a fair thriller for nondiscriminating viewers. So often, horror movies on Video on Demand are so bad that I turn them off without watching them all the way through. I managed to get all the way through this and it wasn't quite what I expected, but it was just "OK". Some good scares. One of the writers was Osgood Perkins, son of actor Anthony Perkins ("Psycho", 1960). Wes Craven was an executive producer, his last film before his death. Kal Penn played such an obnoxious, unlikable person, I was actually glad when his character was killed.

I created an IMDb account JUST to rate this movie the absolute worst rating. Characters, stupid. Plot, boring. Protagonist and antagonist, boring. Setting, boring. This movie and actors were sub par and were terrible wait not even terrible, terribad. If I really could take my 1hr30mins back I would. Sharknado 3 was way better than this anticlimactic piece of garbage. I dislike this movie thoroughly, so bad and painful to watch. 1 hour in I said I wanted to stop watching but it was so bad I had to see the ending. No satisfaction of the main character winning at all. Avoid if you don't wanna see cringe acting and bad endings.

The trailer looked good. The premise was interesting. The actual film itself...well...I just kept hoping for it to end or at least provide SOME sort of creepy factors. This movie may work for some but true Horror and Thriller fans will be disappointed. If you can get past the obnoxious and facetious character of one of the main actors well you're definitely more patient and forgiving than me. He was absolutely AWFUL. Condescending...and much more. Horribly written character. In addition I was very discouraged by the police and how they handled certain situations. Finally this movie may as well be re-named "Masked Stabbers" trying in some way to perhaps be like Scream (but failing miserably). I am not sure how this film garnered 5/10...definitely beyond me. Pass.
