Living Among Us

I LOVE THE GAME! THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME AND MOVIE BECAUASE I LOEV AMONG US!

It's nothing new as a concept, but it could have been fun. Unfortunately, the acting was wooden and uninspired during pretty much all of the film. In addition, there were so many moments where we thought people in that situation would have acted completely differently that it became a bit wearing. The last third of the film was a bit of a slog and we watched it mainly just to see how it ends. The last five minutes were a little better, making it a little less painful. If there's nothing else on and you have a source of good drinks, watch it. Not recommended sober!

I only watched 15 minutes of this but that was enough. The acting was bad, but I don't blame the actors, the director lacked the experience to direct the actors. When the acting is this bad, when the dialogue is this convoluted... it's the director's job to say "CUT!" and then instruct the actors and do another take. I can't watch any more of this.

Lived watching this movie, there ate few nowadays... loved the modernisation and some borrowing from politics... Gripping to watch , could have, more.. yes... but i enjoyed what i have seen...

Okay, this film is in the old "Found Footage" category, with my usual complaint about Found Footage films, that it's is improbable that anyone would keep filming when horrific death and violence is going on all around them. This is emphasized by the character with the camera constantly being yelled at to put down the camera. That said, an investigative reporter discovers that vampires are real and they are getting food from blood banks. They are invited to visit a vampire family, who try to convince them despite the blood drinking and immortality, they are just as normal as you are. Except, it quickly devolves into a chamber of horrors, with sacrifice rituals and general murder and mayhem. Our heroes are eventually picked off, but expose the vampires. Hooray, I guess. Writing that out, I'm actually taking it down a couple stars. It has a good cast, but the leaps in logic just take me out of the movie.

I've had this movie on my que with Tubi tv for a while now, never got around to watching it till now. I don't understand how a horror fan can actually sit and watch this movie and like it. The last 15 minutes or so we're o.k. but certainly not enough to save it. If you're scrounging around and can't find anything to watch, I suppose you can do worse, but you can also do a lot better.

This one would benefit from being filmed in a traditional way rather than being a found footage flick, believability is close to zero - cuts masked as "digital interference / glitches", super HD quality from the "hidden" cameras, not to mention very known Hollywood actors being here. TV scenes are done amateureshly in a way that you clearly see it's just someone on the green screen cut out with some additional lines in After Effects, it doesn't feel like real TV footage at all. But everything else is actually great - the movie is engaging and interesting to watch and it's definitely not a dragging one, actors do a good job (William Salder and John Heard take the cake with their charisma), the visual effects are great. The ending is not on that level though - a lot of very stupid and convenient things happenning, like when some characters demonstrate sudden weakness and stupidity after showing ultrasuperpowers and showing capability to think ahead of your opponent (not to mention they should already know something about the things the crew has, can't go into details because it would be spoiler, but it should be a pretty obvious plot hole).

So no spoilers here. The films cinematography was really great. Found footage films are kind of despised now but this one wasn't bad in terms of camera shakiness and the overall camera work. The actors were good. The script was not. I could see the actors trying to do the best they could with what they were giving. Certain characters like Blake and Andrew, were good in bringing creepiness to their respective parts. Then other characters like Mike and Benny, while good were not very good protagonists and I actually caught myself wanting the vampires to come out on top by the end of the film. ***************************Spoiler******************** What happened to Carrie???

There are several key flaws that suck the blood out of this so-so "comedy". First of all, it's not funny, only slightly clever here and there. But there's very little that hasn't been done before in countless "different" vampire films. Secondly, the reasons for the film-crew staying for so long after everything they'd witnessed is very far-fetched. Already after the "weird one" sneaked into their room they should have bolted. Not to mention the absurd invitation to witness the sacrifice ritual. It made zero sense that the vampires would invite them to it, nor that the crew would opt to stay on filming after it. Even after the killing of the stoners - they still stayed. Wut? Even after they'd overheard the leaders conspiring to kill them, they still stayed. Makes zero sense. Thirdly, and this is the biggest logic flaw, just how stupid are the vampires to invite a major documentary crew, only to have them slaughtered. Duh. Obviously, their disappearance would be headline news which is precisely the opposite of what these "modern new vampire" campaigners wanted. The entire movie rests on this idiotic premise. I found the early conversations with the vampires dumb, because they seemed to get so easily offended, like a bunch of over-sensitive SJWs. These vampires lived for centuries hence being offended should not be in their nature. Quite to the contrary. Just as it makes no sense for a 400-year vampire to be so dumb as to kill a major documentary film crew and not expect hefty consequences. A 400 year-old vampire should be far more savvy than the average modern human, not less. How did the blonde get infected? When? No proper explanation given. The film-crew actually bickering while trying to escape: totally unrealistic hence unfunny.

The premise was intriguing - along the lines of what Taika Waititi did with the infinitely superior What We Do in the Shadows - but the execution here was lackluster. The overall writing, dialogue and plot was terrible. The only saving grace is some of the acting.
