Dead & Beautiful

source: Dead & Beautiful

This is one of those movies where you read the synopsis and feel, oh it should be a good one. But , I was really disappointed in it after watching this yesterday on Shudder. It's got everything, good looking actors, a decent budget, a story which could've been better on screen but all falls flat. No action, No thrill, No horror,bland screenplay ruins it and makes it almost unwatchable. Nothing more to say about this , different take on the Vampire genre whichever never feels different.

I'm so shocked and disappointed when i learned that Blom was in this movie! I was checking out Blom's Imdb page and found out he's in this rubbish movie and I refuse to believe it!! His movie Boys is the best movie and this one is the total opposite of that. Lesson learned do not stalk IMDb pages or you will be disappointed!! Im going to pretend this did not happen to me at all because im planning on watching the movie Boys for the rest of my damn life.

I strongly believe that what was intended here is innovative. This is not your everyday vampire movie, but just because the plot-twist is anything but exciting or mind-blowing. I can tell that they tried to accomplish some sort of artistic photography, which resulted in the best factor of this film. However, the story is flat, boring and its photography just can't carry the whole film; in fact, it reminded me a lot of Neon Demon and rather interested me into rewatching that movie, which I could definitely say is not among my favorites.

Stylistic sketch of vey rich, very beautiful young friends, bored, exploring experience, one of which might transform them into vampires. Its slick and tricky, I enjoyed it. Its not a horror movie.

I'm not sure what I expected in a 'Shudder' movie. But this wasn't it! I love the Asian ladies and downloaded it just because of the cover shot and the Vampire mention. What I got was just utterly ridiculous and insulting. There was no plot. Just spoiled rich kids and randomness.

This was awful, sat through it thinking it might get better but nope boring story line and no special effects. If you want to watch a crap vampire movie go ahead.

There really is nothing to this movie. No real storyline, nothing.... the convenience store scene has a funny part.. but in no way was this a horror film.

Not a horror story and not even a vampire story Just some rich kids partying, squabbling and arguing. Audio is very bad in a lot scenes - hard to understand what is being said due to other noises.

Oh dear God this was awful. But hey, on the plus side, if you are experience problems with insomnia, then put on "Dead & Beautiful" from writers David Verbeek and Hugh Travers. Wow, this movie was a swing and a miss. I managed to sit through a staggering 29 minutes of sheer mind-boggling torment of absolute boredom and pointlessness, then I just gave up. This movie offered nothing in terms of interesting characters or appealing storyline. Sure, the movie's synopsis and the cover/poster for "Dead & Beautiful" seems interesting enough, but the contents of the storyline, the character gallery, the events in the movie, all just failed to deliver anything worthwhile spending time on watching. Do yourself a favor and skip on this movie, especially if you enjoy proper vampire movies. I can't claim to be familiar with the cast that starred in the movie, nor can I say that what I sat through and witnessed in "Dead & Beautiful" spurred me to want to go out and watch more of what these actors and actresses made. There were no outstanding performances here, as they trotted on like drones in a glass cage. Sure, the blame and fault lands on the writers, as they offered the actors and actresses virtually nothing to work with. This is not a movie I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. I suffered through 29 minutes, and sincerely wish I had just skipped on the movie entirely. And needless to say that this is not a movie that I will ever return to attempt to finish watching. My rating of the 2021 snoozefest known as "Dead & Beautiful" lands on a one out of ten stars. I hadn't heard about this movie prior to sitting down to watch it, and I can guarantee that this is a movie that will fade quickly into oblivion and never be looked at again.
