So, in the spirit of holidays, let's say the pros first. The movie looks cute, the set is good enough, and all the main male characters are handsome to look at (at least 4 of them). The story (some sort of scavenger hunt) sounds good on paper, and I can see why they went for that. There are a few solid characters, those being Everett, Ricky, Tipper (all main characters) and Rochelle (the real-estate seller). They were either well-written or just funny.

However, almost everything else I can think of was bad. The story, despite being cute, was just dull and boring. We didn't care for this dead old lady, which would be different had they started the movie with that "15 years ago" gig. There was almost no humor, and it felt like the movie lasted 3 hours. As others pointed out, there was not a lot of chemistry between the two male leads, which is a pity as they are a couple in the real life, so it was just either bad acting or script. I cannot figure out why in 2022 when literally thousands of movies exist, they still have annoying characters that act like children, such as Austin. The way he acted towards Everret was just plain lame. Like, get over it. Also, I was 3 "influensers" away from turning off the movie after like 2 minutes - they said those buzz words so many times I wanted this to become some sort of slasher movie. My god, it started so pretentios it hurt.

The movie is obviously inspired by the much better "The Christmas Setup", also made by a real-life gay couple. I suggest that you watch that before this one, and if you have some free time left, yeah, give this one a chance.

If I bought a ticket expecting an action thriller based on a Shakespeare work and got this, I would be very mad and rate this very low. But, knowing what to expect - and we all did know what to expect - gave me no reason dislike this movie after I watched it. By no means is this a perfect movie, it's not that great even within the cheesy holiday genre, but it's funny, nice, feel-good, and with great performance by two main leads. Surely I didn't like everything about it, but it's good for what it is. And seeing how many people gave it such a low score, I cannot help myself but giving it a rating that the movie probably doesn't deserve. Settings were good, Lindsay Lohan was great to watch and the male protagonist is super cute. What is more to want?

I assure you - many of the 4-and-under out of ten are giving this movie the low score they do because of their political beliefs. Plenty of them cannot stand the young girl being stronger than older men. I mean - c'mon, it's fiction - would you really want that the only one that can fight against the predator is 200cm tall 110kgs of muscle man (didn't we have that one)? Would that be more believable or entertaining? This girl had strength, but also the brain and the heart, which are missing for many people, in and out of the movie.

Also, many didn't like CGI. I thought it was either good or great, altho my eye is not that trained to catch a bad one. But that's often low-hanging fruit, as many effects cannot be objectively evaluated. Also many are "wait, ENGLISH?!" as they don't understand that the language they speak is indeed an indigenous one (honestly I am not that familiar with the languages of Indian American people, pardon my ignorance), while for the audience's purposes, what we hear is English. It would not only cost much more and be harder to do it accurately, but many if not most would not appreciate reading the subtitles.

The movie is really well made, mostly a fun ride (it did took a while until the action began), with great-looking scenery, action scenes, and likeable characters. I honestly don't have much bad to say, and I won't even try, you can read all the possible negatives from many, many other reviewers that seriously need to... relax a bit.

There is so much to say, and there is also so little to say. This movie is bad, if not terrible, in every single aspect. The story is ludicrous, the acting is mostly very bad (I kinda did like Maxi Witrak), and the FX is beyond bad. The two good things are the title and the cover.

Pitty, I really feel like some of these Asylum movies could be almost fun and have some cult following. But they are simply too dull and there is no talent or passion involved in creating it. They are only made to trick viewers into buying or watching them.

Ignore the poster, ignore the title, ignore the "fun" idea, this is a waste of time and electricity.

In the year 2022, there are still people working in post-production thinking that using so many fonts in the trailer is OK. Also, from the trailer, which usually tends to be made of the best parts of the movie, the acting is horrible, the sound is literally so bad it's unintelligible, and the humour is non-existent. Filming a movie on an iPhone and consulting young, actually funny people, would make this movie 10x better. Not saying it would be good, tho.

Since I did not actually see the movie - I will not rate it, so consider this a review of the trailer. Quite literally 0/10. To the film-makers - please - try harder or find a new carrer.

Nothing much to say here, really. This was a bad show that could be summed up in a few sentences, if not words. The finale gave either unsatisfying answers or just raised more questions. I don't care about possible season 2 and I will not watch it. Series score: 3.5/10, finale: 2/10.

It is one of those movies that could have been quite good but because of the lack of money and imagination ended up being mediocre... at best. The story doesn't really make too much sense nor the rules of the magic world are clear. The humour is almost non-existing. BUT... somehow, it ended up being good enough to entertain me on a lonely Christmas Eve. The actors are fine, and Irish Christmas is something I did not expect to see. All in all, 5.5/10 is all it deserves.

A drama. A horror. A thriller. A comedy. Most of all, fun! This movie is one of the most entertaining pieces of cinema I have watched for months, if not years! It is original, which I did not expect to see any time soon, and I did not see the twist, the "it" coming (if you did, good for you!). Many likeable characters make you invested in the story. This is not a perfect movie by any means, but because of a surprising amount of haters, I am happily giving it 9 stars.

I did not have great expectations from this one. It ended up being very entertaining and funny, occasionally scary and quite gory. Hopefully, it will get a sequel.

I guess the movie can be described as a mixture of "Misery" and "Get out", but with TV movie quality to it. The story is fine but predictable, the acting is not that great (the kids in particular), camera work is bad and flashbacks are pointless and weird. The whole backstory regarding his father could have been skipped. The voodoo part and how it works was not explained and that was the most interesting thing here. Almost nothing about the movie was good, except how beautiful Mr Hardwick is. And it was not all that boring.

It's quite a challenge to understand and rate this movie. I kinda liked the tone and the fact it was a slow burner. However, it's really not clear what the movie tries to be. A horror-mystery? A female-empowerment flick? Rosemary's baby modern remake?

I seriously did not get most of the movie. I did not get characters and their motives. Dream sequences. Or what really happened and what was her "mommy brain".

Then, however, I was not bored for the most part. It did keep me questioning. The biggest problem, most of the questions will end up unanswered, and then it finishes in a weird finale. So, not the worst movie made, but cannot be recommended to many.

I had very low expectations going into this movie, having a score of only 5.8/10 at the moment of writing this review. And oh boy am I happy I gave it a chance. Yes, it's a rather typical monster/parasite/isolation movie, but it did everything good or great - acting, suspense, monster, pace. No, it's not a perfect moive by any means, and I would give it 7 stars if I would want to be objective. But since many others gave it such an unfair rating, this was the only thing to do. Please, give it a try, you'll have a great time watching it.

Felt like those clipshow episodes. I did not enjoy it one bit, it was very boring. I love Chidy, one of my favorite characters, but not strong enough to have an entire episode for himself.

When I watched this movie almost 9 years ago, I loved it and I remember the plot and helplessness of the main protagonist, and how well it was made, every now and then. Watching the Korean remake (how to turn tables...), I think this one is weaker but still such a nice and well made little movie. It works well as a thriller and drama. I suggest you to watch the Korean one first, and then this one, both are well worth of your time.

Some 5 minutes in the movie, our main lead, Nicholas, went to order a coffee, being treated extremely rudely by the coffee-bar boy, just because he is - at least the movie wanted us to believe - ugly enough to have a complicated coffee order. And instead of showing a spine, he acted as it was a completely normal thing. He also has a bi*chy straight girl-friend and annoying flatmate.

I disliked literally all of the characters of the movie in the first half - including beautiful but pale Xander (the second lead), for smiling like an idiot all the time, his old flatmate for being too curious about his life, Nicholas' boss and his secretary, basically, all characters that had any screen time.

However, somehow the movie turned out to be watchable, even enjoyable and cute. It's not, by any means, a great movie, but it's good enough to give you some emotions and stay entertained. The plot, despite being a bit stupid and easily solvable, still made some sense. And it shows the search for true love from the perspective of a guy most of us tend to believe we are - average, cute, romantic one. 5.5/10

Seriously. If Netflix wants to offer us a 30-min-long informercial next to some actual series and movies, with each episode we watch they should deduct 50 cents from the monthly plan. What is this?? Propaganda of snake oil in 2020? I can understand how some Netflix originals can be hit-and-miss, but this is seriously some new low.

Or even burn till the end. Seriously, I don't mind 150 minutes watching a movie and I was fairly invested to see how this one will end, but it ended with such a meh I am almost mad. The movie is not terrible and obviously many people found it good, but I am not one of them. And I hated the fact they filmed it so far from Sweden. If Scandinavia was expensive to film it there, Baltic states are just across the sea.
