Review of Margaux

Margaux (2022)
4/10
Had potential to be good but turned out super cheesy

The premise isn't necessarily anything special but this definitely had potential to be a decent horror film, or at least a movie with good gore or interesting kills. The first scene looked good and made me want to continue watching.

But the beginning drags on, and after finally picky up it pretty quickly becomes cheesy and cheap feeling. Take out some of the drug references and it would feel like a Disney channel special for kids.

There's the classic "smart person hacks the system" and a ton of overdone, horribly cheesy dialogue. Completely overriding the entire house feels way too easily done and doesn't make much sense.

It seriously feels like some kids spy movie that they slapped an unhappy ending on. Should have made it more serious and had more interesting deaths, then it wouldn't be amazing but would at least make a solid horror flick that's watchable without rolling your eyes.
