Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

TheLittleSongbird 'Recovery' drew me into seeing it, with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing and quite creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws are here present in those films, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'Recovery' is very weak, with a plethora of problems (fairly big ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There are however a couple of decent, even good, qualities in 'Recovery'.Lets start with the positives. The scenery is atmospheric and spooky, despite the rather direct to video schlocky way it's shot and edited, it was very clear that the film was made in a rush with no care or enthusiasm. Best thing about 'Recovery' is the opening, which was attention grabbing and kept me hooked. Which is why it is such a shame that 'Recovery' went downhill so drastically.Going on further to the negatives, the story does feel over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their irritating and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates. Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. The effects are ropy at best, the sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions) and it's best not mentioning the lumbering acting.Dialogue can be stilted and rambling while the pace goes to a standstill after the promising opening and drags on forever, never recovering. The second half is interminable. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness and the lack of tension and suspense. A lot of 'Recovery' has underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame. The ending makes the film finish on an incomplete and confused whimper.There is not enough threat here and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, while the psychological elements are unimaginative and are more odd than scary, completely failing to show the horror of the subject. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is pretty leaden, got the sense their heart was not in it, and the music doesn't really fit.Concluding, very weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox

TerribleKatherine Already the way the movie started, annoyed me a lot. I am fed up with social media bs, and when I realized this movie is going to include A LOT of it, like talking about it, using it, taking idiotic pictures etc. and rambling on how "my phone has so much dirt on me" (learn to behave like a decent human being, how about that?) not to mention making a big deal about someone not having Snapchat, I felt like watching this was a mistake. Also, movies with hipster-wannabe-but-still-generic-as-f*uck-teenagers, whose priority in life is pretty much their phone, tend to piss me off too. (Watched "It Follows" one time and got a massive headache..) So, wasn't expecting much. I was actually rooting for the bad guys, because they weren't that annoying. So, when the movie ended like it did, I was glad and decided to give an extra point. So 2/10 it is.

ladybug-28652 Don't waste your time watching this. There was absolutely no ending to the movie. They want ten lines in order to post this, but the movie was so stupid and boring that I don't have ten lines to even give. So what to do what to do except to repeat myself , save yourself that time it will absolutely be time you can not get back so move on and watch some thing else. This movie is bad and stupid , this movie is bad and stupid. Just trying to get to the stupid 10 line minimum . I have eight only two more lines to write so I can submit this. Don't waste your time watching this movie. Trust me you will thank me. Even this ten line minimum is stupid , it sure is time I will never get back

HorrorOverEverything Four teenagers (some of the oldest teenagers in the world) venture into the inner city for a night of fun at a sketchy night club, after one of them goes missing the rest of the group goes looking for their missing friend by using the "Find My phone" app to pin point her whereabouts. Obviously things go wrong and they end up going to a house belonging to psychopaths. It's a very generic set up for a very generic low budget horror movie.So yeah this movie is pretty bad but it isn't just a bad movie, it is also kind of odd as well (not in a good way). The way the characters act is just so off and unrealistic, and it's not the usual kind of dumb things you see in horror movies that are used to further the story or set up a kill, it's just a lot of random actions done by the characters that don't really have anything to do with the story and have no purpose at all. The actors reactions to things were strange as well, it almost felt like some characters were taken out of a Disney sitcom and transferred them into a Horror Movie. The whole pacing of the film was pretty awful as well, it takes about fifty five minutes for anything to really happen, and even then it's just twenty minutes of the main characters running around the house trying to avoid the killers. There are some kills but none of them are anything special, very basic effects and a relatively small amount of gore. As the movie neared it's end I started getting anxious for it to be over because it was just so stale and boring. I knew not to expect much when I decided to watch this movie, however I was still disappointed, it's just another cliché ridden horror movie and we didn't even get a high body count or a bloodbath.
