Dear God this move is so bad I'm not wasting longer than a minute to write this review.

The acting is probably worse than anything I have ever seen in my all my life of watching movies. That includes B movies and Indian soaps. Really. It's bad. But if that doesn't kill you, the writing will.

The movie can't decide if it wants to rip off Saw or Escape Room and ends up doing neither BADLY. It's not even bad enough to laugh at. There is literally nothing salvageable from this movie. Not a thing. Do not waste your time!

I have no idea why these actors signed up to it - I can only guess that they must have fallen on hard times because there were some semi famous in here.

It isn't a horribly bad movie, it also isn't a very good movie. There was a good storyline and there was so much that could have been done but was missed.

Lots of half-hearted attempts at trying to bring Pakistan and her culture to life. No real input from a Pakistani though. The film could have done with a cultural input from someone in the Pakistani movie industry.

Some half-hearted attempts at showing what life is like for British born Pakistanis but again just an odd mention here and there - East is East did more. Emma Thomson's made a lot of racist remarks not knowing it, and it could have been a great opportunity to do more here but sadly another wasted opportunity.

The ending was so rushed - it was emotional but they really rushed through the part where the sister came back. It was very unrealistic and definitely needed more time.

All the actors did fine but no real standout performances. Lily's character was extremely irritating and I did find myself scrolling my phone when she was on the screen. Emma Thompson was great but when isn't she? Not one of her finest standout performances however.

Some of the jokes were very offensive and didn't go down well in the group I watched this with.

Overall it wasn't a huge waste of time but at the same time I'm grateful I didn't pay to watch this because I would have been annoyed.

This movie is so bad. It's so bad. It's completely unfunny, you want to actually punch Adam Devines character multiple times per second.

The acting, if you can call it that, is over the top and so unfunny, the storyline is so poor I don't think they knew what they were doing until the day of shooting. It's just a horrible mess.

Do yourself a favour and stab yourself in the eye with a fork instead.

There is not one redeeming grace. Not one. All the people involved in this movie should be barred from working in the industry ever again.

I don't know what the actors were thinking or how the producers managed to get such high names involved. Or perhaps they were all drunk. Or high. Or both.

Started off so well. The first couple of episodes were very good. It quickly turned bad. So bad that I would have enjoyed poking myself in the eye with a fork more than sitting through this.

Around episode 3, they turned it into The Wren Show and unfortunately made her such a horrible, unlikable, spoilt, narcissistic little brat that you genuinely were rooting for her, and everyone around her, to just be killed off. The Wren show with her merry band of minions couldn't be more stupid as humans are concerned.

When you first start the show, you aren't sure whether it had a supernatural element or what is happening and it's really intriguing but it quickly turns into a show about stupid teenagers making pathetic decisions at every turn. I've never seen anything so terribly unrealistic and badly written and I sat through season 8 of GoT. It was so poor that I don't even have the energy to write about all the ways in which it was so bad. Just do yourself a favour and don't watch it. There is literally NOTHING good or worth watching about this show past the first 2 episodes. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Really not very good overall if you're over the age of 12 and have developed a taste for movies/TV and look for things like good storylines, continuity, chemistry, good acting, good writing.

A few problems with this show:

• it's not a horror. It is NOT scary. Stop pushing it as a horror series

• it is a teen drama but instead of a highschool, you have a hospice

• even the jump our scares drop being scary

• the plot makes no sense. It's as though the writers got so distracted writing the horror stories they forgot there was supposed to be an actual main plot

• see above point; main plot of the movie (spooky old woman and man, blurry corridors etc) never explained or mentioned again

• the show tried to hard to push its own agendas on various topics through these stories that it forgets it's there to deliver actual writing and an over-all story

• everyone in the show fails to see how much of a narcissistic Ilonka is while the viewers sit there in disbelief. One girl is suddenly no longer dying and has been given her life back yet Ilonka somehow makes it about her. Ilonka is the newest person there, nowhere near the end of her life compared to some of the others yet she makes the whole thing about herself while pretending she's doing or for Anya. She sneaks around the corridor eavesdropping yet demands to know what's happening when she doesn't hear the whole conversation (why was she never kicked out???!) And right at the end she even makes the midnight story about her and what a fabulous martyr she is to the point everyone thinks this, all the while forgetting that she is just fine and sat there with them and has made no such sacrifices the way her story character has.

This had potential. It started off looking as though if would be good. Yes the storyline is tired but it had potential to make it a typical yet watchable love story - like a guilty pleasure.

Well there was nothing pleasurable about it, other than fast forwarding through it until the credits. The leading lady started off well but quite obviously got bored and gave up....or perhaps she had already acted to her highest ability within the first 15 minutes and then spent of the move trying to drag out her best acting. Still a million times better than the leading man who possesses the emotional range of a can of tuna.

The writers touched on some really serious topics like racism with a marine shouting, "death to all Arabs," and then dropped it as quickly as a hot potato. Why even bring up something so serious only to ignore it?!

The movie showed the typical American take of American soldiers in Iraq playing with Iraqi children and being saviours to all of mankind and conveniently left out the truth of what these soldiers do (aside from the racist marine wanting to kill all Arabs so perhaps a little credit is due there after all even if it was executed with the grace of a bull in a China shop).

And the chemistry between the two stars? Non existent. They could have been siblings. There was no growth, no letting the viewers watch the buildup of their relationship. The whole thing was just an excuse for the leading lady to show off her singing and piano playing. Aside from that, there was zero substance. You'd be better off watching paint dry. It would contain more drama and emotion.

Really, why do writers do this?! You can visibly see them get fed up with a show and rush it to the point of ruining it so badly that the previous good reasons are almost wiped from memory (GoT anyone?!)

Seasons 1 and 2 of Killing Eve were so good, so very good. Brilliant writing and acting, edge of your seat stuff. Then season 3 started dipping quite dramatically and then came season 4 and I honestly want back all the time I've wasted watching this entire show!

Just finished season 4 and I have questions!

1. Who the hell were the Twelve?! All we saw were the backs of some heads barely 2. What did Eve do after she got out the water?!

3. What was the point of Yusuf?

4. What was the point of the woman in the woods?

5. What was the point of Pam?

6. Is everyone in the assassin club a lesbian? Like is it a pre requisite?!

7. What was the point in the physical manifestation of the VillanElle Jesus?! Was she hallucinating? Were they trying to show she was actually mad?!

8. Come to think of it, what was the point of those whole opening 4 episodes?!

9. They didn't really explain the whole Helene being part of the Twelve but killing them off but? Or maybe they did but mentally I'd switched off but what was the point of Helene?

10. If Helene was killing the Twelve, why kill her?!

11. Presumably the UK police were after Villanelle when she was arrested for killing the priest and his daughter - how did she just manage to get on multiple planes freely after that?!

12. How did the characters get from one entire country to another so easily and somehow by surpassing the rules of time?!

13. Why did Villanelle never have to workout?!

14. Just seriously what was the point of season 4?

15. But most importantly WHO TF KILLED KENNY????! We still didn't find out who ordered that hit?!

If you are considering watching this, I'd give it a miss on account how terrible seasons 3 and 4 (but especially 4 were). At point there was a female Villanelle dressed as Jesus in knee high boots running around. For real.

I was so surprised to see this getting a 6 rating on IMDb. It's so bad, oh dear God it's so bad. I think those people scoring it a high rating are just doing so because they are so relieved to see the main characters back or to see the writers trying to remake the original or are comparing it to the even worse sequels that came before.

As a stand alone movie not linking it or comparing it to the others THIS IS BAD!

Terrible acting by 99% of the cast, characters trying to be versions of the main original characters but failing so miserably you're just left with a sense of nostalgia, the laughable storyline (thankfully it laughs at itself a lot), the utterly unbelievable events (a sheriff getting stabbed to death on her doorstep in broad daylight with the sirens blaring on her police vehicle and not a single person looks out their window or walks past?! Not a single sole in the whole hospital at all ever?! The killers being superhuman?!) There are just so many bad things about this movie, I wish I could score it 0.

This has potential, it could have gone much better than it did. I suppose I should have switched off when they decided to fill the story with red herring after red herring.

Gist of the story is that the entire resources of the police force are spent looking for a missing teenager. Said teenager also wholly responsible for the death of 2 people and destroying the lives of many more. Her father goes nuts looking for her, destroying more lives. In the end she wasn't dead which would have made it all ok. She wasn't even in danger for the most part. She was selfishly swanning off doing her own thing, putting everyone in danger and not giving one s**t about anyone but her.

Moral of the story? Teenagers are vile, selfish monsters.

Started off really well and had great potential bit went downhill very fast after the boys got out of jail.

Claire being killed seemed like such a waste of a storyline and then all of a sudden it's like the writers decided they need to get onto whatever political bandwagon was trending for them and shifted the film to be about black power. And then there was no ending. It's like they ran out of money, time and interest to even finish and so just left everything hanging. They started all these sub plots and then they went absolutely nowhere! Really terrible follow through.

People just love to leave bad reviews for any Heigl movie because it's fashionable to hate her because she stood up to some Hollywood bullies.

Putting all that aside, this was not a bad movie. Great chemistry between the leads, good acting, good (albeit fairly recycled) storyline, good supporting actors.

I wouldn't watch it again but I did enjoy watching it.

It's not a thriller, it's not a black comedy, it isn't quite sure what it is. Other than boring, long and confusing.

There is not enough on the back story of the couple other than bickering because she seemed happy when they arrived so her shooting him made no sense.

None of the characters are likeable or engage the watcher enough to keep you invested in their outcome.

Such a waste of an opportunity as it had enough potential. If they'd kept it as a black comedy, it would have fared better. As it stands, it's neither funny nor gripping. It's just meh.

Such a bad movie that it feels a waste of my time writing a review. All I will say is that involves the now, MUCH older Leatherface given that 50 years have passed, who, apart from having the muscle mass to carry the heavy chainsaw and wield it over his head while tearing apart bones, is also superhuman because gets shot by a shotgun, around 8 times in his body, gets run over, gets a chainsaw driven through him, drowns and yet bounces right back to again. This should have been a comedy.

I actually love this show bit the constant, "omg he's dead," and seconds later, "oh no hrs not," is getting really tiresome. So much so that they really do need kill Zeke now. First TJ 'dies' but miraculously comes back and now this, and there have been many other occurrences like this. The writers need to take lessons from seasons 1-6 of GoT where it was at its best and there was always the risk of losing main characters. This is getting boring and predictable.

Also good job Saanvi has Vance because none of the rest seem to even notice she's gone, let alone that she nearly died twice trying to save them.

These characters are becoming really unlikeable . Michaela professes her love for her ex until she breaks up his marriage and then goes off with someone else is the epitome of narcissism. The others are just as bad and if not then they're boring as hell. With the exception of Saanvi and the guy who gave up his liver for his kid, it's about time the rest were killed off.

Season 1 of The Sinner with Jessica Biel was amazing and since then, they've gone slowly downhill until we ended up with this pile of mishmashed mess as the writers try to be clever with red herrings but end up making the whole thing look utterly laughable. So far on this tiny island where apparently bigotry and racism is rife, we've had drugs, random gay couples on the beach, cults, supernatural, gangs, prostitution, pornography setups, illegal immigrants and men running around with machine guns. I just can't even deal ..

You're introduced to the heroine right at the start and if you're startled by her lack of acting abilities and inability to show any emotion, you ain't seen nothing yet! Cue annoying bratty kids who should refund their parents money because those acting classes haven't worked and then the most cringe husband who makes you physically retch from his embarrassing acting and you've got the main cast and it's difficult to get past them.

If by some miracle you can make it through that, the storyline is so utterly ridiculous with holes so big you could park a plane in them, you really should save yourself and not sit through it all hoping it gets better. Spolier alert: it doesn't.

If I was Eddie Izzard I'd be mighty embarrassed. And I'd fire my agent.

Oh and then there are 2 weird random teenage hitmen who go around singing and dancing to shotynes while murdering and dismembering bodies. I can't even ..

Its not as bad people who have rated it 1 star are saying. The story, though a little bit predictable, was interesting. They did try to throw some red herrings in with the whole supernatural element.

They really should have cast a better lead actress as the student who falls in love with her professor because my God was she bland and a bad actress!

Other than that, it was ok entertainment. There is definitely worse out there!

I felt compelled to write a review after watching this heap of rubbish. So many awful things, too many, so I'll just list a few.

1. Why on God's green earth didn't she smash a window or a vase and use it to cut his thumb off or at least sever it enough to slide the cuffs off?

2. Or why not use something heavy in the house to smash his thumb and hand to a pulp?!

3. The useless lover who came to save her, and helpfully left his phone in the car, started making up stories...why not use the evidence in the house and pictures to back the truth?!

4. Trumping all that, how about the recording in the car where the guy admits he killed himself to get back at her. How about using that?!

5. Why are all the characters so thick??!!

6. How could Drazic lower himself to these standards?! Has life after Heartbreak High been that bad?!

Seasons 1 through 4 were incredible. This show had everything and kept me gripped - I binge watched these seasons. Season 5 dropped the ball a bit and I found it dragging but season 6 was the absolute worst. Season 7 picked up a little bit but not enough and by the end of it, I gave up. I didn't even watch seasons 8 and 9 because life is too short! And I didn't like that they'd gotten rid of the best characters or that they'd made some of the worst characters so central.

Some of the reasons this got so bad (spoilers):

• After Mike's trial and once everyone knew the truth, the excitement that was the core of the show, vanished
• Why oh why did they make Donna a main character? As a side character she worked brilliantly but as a main character she was annoying, selfish, ruined people s careers and legacies and was a completely unrealistic addition. Donna was a legal secretary who thought she was as important as the managing partner and why the writers allowed her to be, is beyond me
• Donna and THAT promotion. Donna tells Harvey she's worked there for 10 years doing her job which entitles her to be senior partner with zero qualifications, experience or even being a lawyer and Harvey agrees
• After Mike and Rachel got together, she became a side kick and would just show up to cry or stress over her relationship. They completely took away any substance she had
• After Jessica left, they should have stepped it up as she was so good but they tried to fill her shoes with Donna
• After Mike got caught, every episode was literally the same storyline: someone is coming after the firm and they need to stop them otherwise they lose the firm
• Donna again - her constant response of, "I can because I'm Donna." Cringe (but not as cringe as, "I'm black in here.")
• Donna again. Is she supposed to be a superhero because at least 4 to 5 times per episode they give her the ability to read peoples minds, time travel and brain wash people
• After Mike (and Rachel) left, the show lost its way even more. The on screen chemistry, the bond, the laughs, Batman and Robin and the whole premise of the show died

I could go on it really you get it. Season 6 onwards, it goes downhill fast

Disappointing end to a brilliant show that should have ended after 5 seasons.

So happy to see Katherine Heigl back on screen after the way she was mistreated. Her performance, along with Sarah Chalke's completely make this show. The younger Tully and Kate also so a fantastic job. The writing is great, storylines are brilliant and what a cliffhanger to end season 1 on! I just hope they don't take forever to make season 2. I cried and laughed and binge watched the whole first season in 2 days!

Reading the reviews and finding it funny how many people are triggered by the producers choosing to show diversity. In particular, how offended people seem to be that the main character is Muslim and that they dared to show her getting attacked by someone and being called a terrorist and having her hijab ripped off. Someone in the comments actually wrote, "that's so unrealistic." Are you kidding me??!! Do these people have any idea how realistic that is?? How many Muslim girls have been subject to this sort of racism and been through similar ordeals?! Funny how these same people don't bat an eyelid when the majority of other Hollywood movies and shows portray Muslims as terrorists, you don't hear any, "oh we don't need that much diversity,' comments then.

Anyway all that aside, it's not as bad as people are making out. Granted not as good as the first 2 seasons but if you're going to rate it lower then do it based on the storylines, the acting, the production, the writing....don't do it because you didn't like the diversity.

A lot more gore, rolling decapitated heads type of thing so if you're squeamish, you may want to avoid.

I watched this during a Disney marathon after the crushing and embarassing disappointment that was Mulan so I wasn't expecting much from another Disney live action remake. I would like to say I was pleasantly surprised! Aladdin and Jasmine both did really well in their roles, looked great and portrayed their onscreen chemistry beautifully. Will Smith was perfect as the genie! He brought the right amount of humour and personality without trying to redo Robin Williams portrayal which would have failed. The only thing I will say is, you have to take the cultural references with a pinch of salt. I'm Arab by heritage and the mishmash and confusion in this adaptation (very heavy Indian influenced and all things Bollywood), made me cringe a fair bit.

I really wanted to like this and for me personally, this had the premise of being the best Disney movie I'd ever watched. As a female of Asian descent myself, I think the scenes with the community and the relationship between Mulan and her father were handled beautifully. And the fact that there were no annoying songs was a bonus. It had so much potential. Where did it go wrong then? In short, it's political agenda. This remake was filmed partly in Xinjiang amid mass human rights abuses. I could go into details of how factually incorrect the villains are, not to mention the Eastern looking, black clad 'bad guys' who happen to share a surname with the tortured Uighurs (please educate yourselves and read up on the ethnic genocide that's occured there). But I'll let you research that and instead just quickly reference that two of the film's stars, Liu Yifei (Mulan) and Donnie Yen (Commander Tung), have voiced their support of the Hong Kong police against the city's pro-democracy protests, thus sparking an online movement to boycott the film. All this aside, ignoring the heavy political agenda, the action scenes were so lacklustre and not at all what one would expect from a film in this genre. In summary, this movie failed everyone.

• If you were looking for happy Disney singalong movie, sorry
• Looking for a factually correct historical movie? Nope, not it
• Perhaps you were after a Chinese martial arts movie reminiscent of Jet Lis 'Prodigal Son' days? Sorry, you'll also be disappointed.

Just had all around

I've been going back and forth thinking about whether I should continue to invest in Amazon Prime....this move has helped me make up my mind that I will cancel my membership tonight and never look back.

This is one horrific movie - Im not even going to waste my time commenting on the god awful, confused storyline because it doesn't deserve any words but that isn't even the worst thing about this movie. Is nobody going to talk about what on earth is going on with Forest Whitaker's accent??!! I've honestly never been so irritated by someone in my life. Did he think he was Mexican? It's so bad I actually had to mute the movie and put the subtitles on. Don't watch this movie. There is nothing good about it. Not a thing, not a single thing.

This could have been a good movie. It had a good storyline and the main actors actually did an OK job. So why was it so awful then?! Perhaps a combination of the 'ghouls' but more likely the fact that 90% of the movie was shot in pitch black. Actual pitch black. So if you want to know what happens, put on a dark screen, add some growling sound effects and there you have The Vault.
