Offseason (2021)
1/10
Predictable and not scary
11 June 2022
There's nothing here that you haven't seen before in better movies. Maybe you can enjoy it if you're an HP Lovecraft fan, but I've never found his stories to be interesting, and this movie appears to be inspired by them.

The storyline started decently, but then became predictable and not at all scary by the halfway point. Add to that a poor script and mediocre acting. And then there's the music that only occasionally fit the scenes, but usually detracted from the intended tension. The actors did their best with what was there, but the dialogue and actions were just too unrealistic and the characters undeveloped.

I watched the whole thing for the laughter value of how bad it was, and it was worth it in that respect. The beach scene toward the end and the reveal of the "mystery" were the most amusing.

One star for the cinematography and eerie island setting, which were good for a low budget production.

No sex, nudity, or overt gore, but definitely not for young children.
