The Beach House (2019)

The Beach House is THAT movie. I can't help but to roll my eyes every time the characters started speaking. It has a very awkward script and the characters' reactions felt not genuine. No explanation as to what actually happened in the movie, everything is just so sudden. I hate it, thanks.

Fmovies: It was kinda cool at times. We compromised and we will give it a 5. There were some okay scenes. Tiny twist, maybe. Not a great ending. But oh well. It was really fine, if you wanna watch it you might enjoy it. It was somewhat enjoyable.

This cud have been a good 45 mins short film a la Neil Blomkamp's short film like Zygote n others but i dont know y the filmmaker filled it up with tedious scenes n boring chit chat. A young man takes his girlfriend to his dad's beach house to spend some quality time and finds it peaceful when they dont encounter any neighbors around but they r surprised to encounter an older couple inside their house. The four fellas smoke pot n enjoy the nite with music but r unaware of a mysterious infection spreading around. The film starts off slow but keeps u engrossed as one gets curious to kno what is the reason of the infection n how it will end. But many will get annoyed as the reason is never explained properly apart from the turbulence inside the ocean causing the organisms to come up. Another very annoying thing is the abrupt ending. The fog scene n the trees getting bluish is a bit silly. There is a very creepy scene that will have ur skin crawling, a la Guinea worm... I liked the film as i love reading about microorganisms n a fan of movies based on infections but i will not recommend it as it has nothing new to offer, suspense n tension is missing n forget about any kills.

The Beach House fmovies. Let me start by saying that this is a weird one, everything, even the characters, are just plain weird. This is yet another movie that is hit by the curse of having an interesting plot on paper but ends up being stumped by its execution. I don't understand how this is being rated so highly.

The film starts off in a familiar way, a young couple arriving at a holiday home in the hope of forgetting about the reality of day to day life. That soon turns sour when they realise there are others in the house that already had the same idea as them. Every single character in this production is dull, boring and lifeless, a lot like the movie itself. Randall (Noah Le Gros) spends the majority of the film stoned and sleeping (I wish I did). Mitch (Jake Weber) is just downright creepy. Emily (Liana Liberato) is just about the only character that you'll end up caring about, probably just out of sympathy that she's stuck in a house with these unnerving people.

It's an understatement to say The Beach House is a slow burner. The film doesn't get anywhere near interesting until the latter quarter of the film. When it does, it's very confusing. The conflict seems to happen so quickly that you don't really have the time to process it and that's not necessarily a good thing here. You can clearly see what the writers are trying to portray but it just isn't executed very well at all. It tries so hard to build an uneasy atmosphere throughout, while only slightly succeeding and then getting let down by the climax.

The best scenes in this movie also turn out to be the most violent and gruesome ones. If there were more of them, it'd certainly be a little more gripping. The ending doesn't really conclude anything, nor does it add anything to the movie. It was disappointing, like the rest of the production.

This is yet another film where it would have paid off a lot more if the producers went for a different genre (drama or sci-fi) and didn't portray it as a horror film. There's only a couple instances of horror and they get lost in between the rest of the mind numbing production. This seems to be a trend for quite a few films being released in 2020 at the moment.

So the moral of the story, kids - stay away from the beach, out of the ocean and never do edibles. If you've seen this already, you'll know what I mean. If not, stay clear.

Not for me, would have made an interesting 45 minute Black Mirror episode. The rather predictable downbeat ending, found in so many Horrors these days (not much horror) good practical effects (though limited).

Did you ever see a movie that you thought was pretty good, but that was so weird and out of nowhere that you weren't really quite sure how you were supposed to process it as a viewer?

The Beach House is one of the newer additions to Shudder, and, for the most part, it's a pretty standard horror movie. It's a slow burn about a young couple that go to (you guessed it!) a beach house for a romantic vacation together, only to find an older couple also staying at the beach house. For about half of the movie, things are okay - you're just watching a flawed relationship trying to fix itself and grow - but, when things go awry, they really go out with it.

This film has an uneasy feeling throughout. It gives off a vibe of unease, as though it were preparing the viewer for what is to come. There wasn't a moment of the film that I felt I could trust any particular characters, especially once the film really started revving its engine and working toward the final act.

There are a lot of tense moments in the film, which is one thing they pulled off really well. Where it lost me was in the plot, the way it suddenly (and I do mean suddenly) begins to get a little too sci-fi for my liking in a film like this. I'll give it credit for doing something different (it easily could've been very cliched) and trying to be its own thing, but it's an instance where I feel it, perhaps, tried a little too hard to be original and ended up being off-putting as the film went on.

That being said, credit needs to be given where it's due. Everyone acting in this film did a great job. The characters were relatable and believable. And the shots in this thing are absolutely stunning as well. The aesthetic of the film is eye-catching and beautiful throughout, which made it a film that was still enjoyable despite its faults.
