I am reviewing this under the criteria that it was shot in 4 days on budget of 25k... because having worked in the film industry yes that is impressive to do a feature with that little money in that little time.
If you are looking for formula horror, especially a genre slasher, you are going to be disappointed. But for me (especially given it's a free Tubi movie) it was refreshing to see something focus on character and story in the horror genre. Actually I was surprised I was able to not only finish it but stay engaged from start to finish (as I've tried to watch other low budget horror movies on Tubi and have never made it past 10 minutes until now).
Being something of a cinephile I was pleasantly surprised by the references to the horror films of its time (The Innocents, Peeping Tom) and the cinema/Marilyn Monroe obsessed killer was a nice touch to unearth the behind the scenes revenge plot (reminded me of Dario Argento villains). While someone did point out the anachronistic "chill pill" line, even big budget studio movies have anachronisms in period pieces, rather tenuous thing to trash an entire movie over...
Also to the review that mentioned FBI - there is no FBI anywhere in the movie, without giving anything away several lines of dialogue indicate they are private security that have worked directly with the rich Pharma families for many years... you can dislike a movie surely but should at least be accurate in what you're basing your criticism on...
If you're looking for the usual genre frills probably not for you but if your looking for a small film that tries to do something different I would say give this 80 min slow burner shot in 4 days with 25 thousand bones a shot.
Also kudos to wherever they found these actors plus the subtlety of the script - not to mention the continuous flowing camerawork and long take approach.
Rating it 10 to offset the lazy hate but I'd say it's a 6.7/10 more accurately.
All in all it's like a B Horror movie cozied up with a fringe arthouse film and popped out a pensive little creation, I got what the filmmakers were up to... Would love to see what they could do with more time and a bigger budget.
