Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
KineticSeoul If you seen the trailer to this movie you can basically sum everything up. At least most movie buffs can. Watching this movie was like watching a mature children's TV show. About couple of kids or teens trying to investigate something in a neighbors house and gets more than they bargained for. This can be done well but it just comes off very narrow in this one. Just about everything about this movie is predictable and some characters actions and decisions doesn't make much sense at all. The twists are disappointing and nothing special at all. Dennis Quaid is always good as playing these grumpy old characters and he does a good job of playing this psychotic grumpy mortician. Overall it's a watchable movie but it doesn't bring anything new to these types of movie nor does it throw any good curve balls. Whats gonna happen is if your a movie buff or maybe even if your not your still going to predict whats gonna happen all the way through and be right about it.4.5/10
Erdal Atalay As also mentioned from other reviewers there are similarities between Mr. Brooks and this film. If Mr. Brooks is a Crime/Drama/Mystery film, this film cannot be a horror film, because Mr. Brooks has definitely harder scenes as this one. I don't know if the makers of this movie claim that they filmed a horror movie. If yes then it is a really poor horror film and you will be disappointed as a horror movie fan. But if you watch it as a Crime/Thriller it is watchable and not a waste of time. It depends on what your expectation is. In marketing the product must be declared correctly: if you declare horror in a product, horror must be in the product.In the music business there is a genre named easy-listening, translated into the movie business I would say this film is a "easy-watching" film: not bad and not really good.
floydkeyboardist It could have been a much better movie if the lighting was done right. It was very difficult to know what was going on. I had my brightness set at maximum and it was still like watching a radio broadcast. 85% of the time you are looking at a black screen with an occasional shadow showing up.The movie had a couple surprises, but most of the time you knew what to expect. I liked the casting and the actors did a good job with the story they were given. I would like to see more of the actors in future films and hope this movies poor post-production does not harm their careers.
movieman_kev Despondent and depressed over the untimely death of his sister, teenage Travis believes that the local shady mortician (played with much ham by Dennis Quaid) is responsible for her murder. So he and his three friends decide to gather some evidence from the morgue with disastrous consequences for one of them. Now Travis and his two remaining friends must bring the murderer to justice while also contending with cops that don't believe themAlmost every Tuesday Instant Netflix has at least one film streaming on same day as released on DVD, this week it's three films (this one, The Myth of the American Teenager, and Wolf Town) And while this is a marked improvement on the supremely atrocious Wolf Town, Not by much. The movie is nothing we haven't seen a million times before, the acting is all right in an over the top way. But the ending is utter dog excrement, the film just kinda sputters to a conclusion.My grade: D
