dantheman-39610 Don't waste your time. It might look okay from the trailer for a mindless film to just stick on, but it really was potentially the worst I've ever seen.

Straker17 #Horror is a movie that so desperately tries to be relevant, but falls short in so, so many ways. It is a movie that has many "artistic" features, many themes that it "explores", and so many terrible chracters to hate. The film attempts to be artistic, and in these attempts it tries to blur out the camera to "heighten" the "tension", and sporadically throws in shots of a supposed website that these girls use. However, this website does not look like any functional website, and I stared at it for most of the movie, attempting to figure out exactlky what it was and what purpose it served in the movie. And while you can justify footage of this website being thrown in, there is no way to justify the horrible design of it, and ultimately it just feels like the movie threw it in there hoping the critics would call the film "artsy". As stated before, the film has many different messages it attempts to get through with this film. The core one is bullying, however, it makes so many mistakes in the process. Firstly, the audience that is going to get the most out of the message have nobody to relate to. Preteens and teenagers who suffer bullying the most are the ones who can gleen from the anti-bullying message of the film the most. However, we are shown a bunch of rich, overpriveledged girls. These aren't the types of girls who are going to watch a film like this. Even the character that doesn't come from a rich background blends in with the rich kids. Second, you are given nobody to sympathise with because everybody is both a victim and a bully. Every single character (even the adults) join in the bullying to some extent. So where does that leave your characters? Who are you supposed to sympathise with? The answer is supposed to be the main characters, but after a while, you begin to wonder who the main chracter is supposed to be, and ultimately, you have nobody to sympathise with. The worst aspect of the movie by far is the character of Cat's father. When Cat gets lost in the woods after being thrown out of the house for how mean she is being, her father arrives at the house. He barges in and instantly begins shouting at the girls. Eventually one of the girls runs off into the woods to look for Cat, and he just lets her leave (which is what he is yelling at the girls for letting his daughter do in the first place). He grabs these girls by the head, and even by the necklace at some point, he slaps them, and even goes as far as to threaten them with a knife. And he isn't even the villain! The movie doesn't even work as a horror. The first hour and fifteen minutes is so heavily focused on the bullying drama that it forgets to create any ammount of tension. All of the killings of this "slasher" happen in the last twenty minutes And the reveal of the killer doesn't even make much sense. She kills people that have nothing to do with any of this. But why wouldn't it be her? After all, she is the meanest one who gets thrown out of the house. She is the one who is shown to be mentally unhinged from the beginning. So, why not her? Really there is no answer to this, but it would have been nice to have been offered some explanation as to why she killed everybody. If it's because she feels bullied, her rage is unjustified because she is the first one to be a true bully in the movie. It also wouldn't explain why she would have killed the couple at the beginning of the movie or even how she did it considering she was held up at school. It is such a shame considering these girls can act. They all portray themselves well as bullies and victims adding at least a small glimmer of realism to this movie, but their talent is completely wasted.

RockoDaFoxxo I came across this disaster on Netflix and watched it because 1. I've been hearing many, many er... "things" people say about this movie and 2. Because ralphthemoviemaker (a great YouTube movie critic) talked about it in his most recent video. I've recently become fascinated with terrible movies and why they're so broken (Catwoman, North, Foodfight, Battlefield Earth, Master of Disguise), so my daft curiosities hasn't stopped me from watching #Horror, aka one of the dumbest titles in cinema history. But what makes #Horror so bad? It's not bad because of its intentions in calling out cyber-bullying (a still serious issue), but from how amateurish the filmmaking was. Outside of some decent cinematography and 1 or 2 moments that were mildly effective, #Horror fails in terms of acting, writing, directing, editing, effects, and storytelling. The worst category to me has to be the editing. In almost every scene (including the opening credits) there are transitions of # symbols that look like sped-up versions of Suicide Squad, Enter The Void and bowling animations on acid. It's that bad. The last 30 minutes had quick cuts that were used to signify tension -- but they accidentally come across as uneven and clumsy. The acting is a jarring mix of stiff and laughably over-the-top from both minor and big-name actors. Not one performance felt authentic or professional. The directing has no punch and very little style, and it especially shows in the "scary" parts. On a technical scale, #Horror is a misguided mess... but that would've been somewhat forgivable if the script was smart, well- crafted and has lots to say.But it sadly does not. The main characters are nothing but shallow, b**chy stereotypes that do nothing but shame on each other. You could say that's part of the satires' point, but you need some form of sympathy if you're going to make a movie about bullying. Instead, the attempts at character development here feels forced and laughable instead of genuine. The story isn't much better. It takes about 1 hour in order for the plot to move forward ('cause showing slumber parties is very important), and by then the narrative jumps around for no discernible reason. It gets more confusing as it goes on. The dialogue tries to appeal to the younger demographic without actually knowing how most teens talk like, so it all sounds ridiculous ("If he's so rich, why does he dress like that? He looks like Hitler."). The message is admirable, but not anything new or provoking. It's not even well-executed.In conclusion, #Horror is #Horrible. Very little makes any sense, the editing is wacky, the story and script is incoherent and unintentionally funny, the "hip" characters are obnoxious, the acting is atrocious, the production values are weak, and its attempts at social- commentary are blatant and unoriginal. As I've said before, there are some decent shots and kernels of a good idea, but they're all buried down by heaps of incompetence. Awful. Don't watch. 2/10.

TheJuggernaut Not often in life do you hope a group of children get hurt or attacked but this is one of those times. This movie seemed to reflect the girls attention span, it focuses on an idea for a few minutes then completely forgets about it. It references a four way wind point in the house that never has any bearing on the story. The loose backstory on the former owner seems to only serve to add mystery to the camera killers identity. Why are the artworks moving around if the story doesn't have a supernatural element to it? There are countless other questions but the other main one is the viewer constantly has to see this hashtag game of likes but no one explains how it works or what's it purpose is. At one point it looks like a tic tac toe of photos that earns a knife emoji after clicking three random photos in a row. Explaining the game would give a little substance to their addiction to it, but it only showed that Kat played it as a child for two seconds and that made her a killer.The ways these girls talk reflect the level of warmth their parents show them but is no reason to act that way yourself. They girls act more like their are on a forced bonding sleepover for bullies. Their conversations are just a back to back of insults that as others have mentioned, does not add any compassion to them being hunted down at the climax.The movie could have been a lot more interesting if it was about the old artist killing them off for being in his house or realising that a power in the house drives people to kill. Sadly it did not do that it just shows an hour of young girls pretending to be adults who ultimately choose to kill their "friends" for the hope of getting the most likes in their nonsensical game. (Last question - Since the main killer was not there earlier, who killed the dad and mistress at the beginning?)
