"Don't Move": A Movie That Just Doesn't Cut It
Let's be honest, we've all been there – you're scrolling through streaming services, looking for something to watch, and you stumble upon a movie with a catchy title and a promising synopsis. "Don't Move" definitely fit the bill. But after hitting play, I was left feeling like I'd just wasted an hour and a half of my life.
The Premise: A group of friends decides to spend a weekend in a remote cabin in the woods. Sounds familiar, right? We've all seen this movie before, and "Don't Move" doesn't offer anything fresh or exciting. The predictable plot revolves around a mysterious entity lurking in the woods, and the friends start disappearing one by one.
The Problem: The real bummer here is the acting. It's just plain bad. The characters are flat and one-dimensional, and the actors seem to be going through the motions. You never really connect with any of them, and you don't feel invested in their fates. It's like watching a high school play where everyone's trying a bit too hard.
Where it Falls Short: The movie's pacing is also uneven. There are moments that drag on forever, and then there are moments where things happen so quickly that you're left scratching your head. The suspense, which should be the movie's bread and butter, feels forced and unconvincing.
Final Thoughts: I'm not saying "Don't Move" is the worst movie ever made. It's just a film that tries to be scary, but it fails to deliver on its promises. If you're looking for a good horror flick, give this one a miss. You're better off sticking with the classics or even searching for something new and independent. Trust me, your time will be better spent.
