Those Who Walk Away

I will never figure out how Tubi categorizes movies. It shows me strings of films with odd things in common. In this case, it’s several movies in a row where they a movie basically has people talking for 45 minutes before it finally tuns into a horror movie. In this case, it’s a couple on a date, as boring and ordinary an indie flick as you could ask for, before she suddenly traps him in her boarded-up house, and it turns into a decent captivity flick as he tries to avoid the monster she’s trying to feed him to. Still pretty bad and derivative, but compared to the utterly tedious first 45 minutes of just a couple out on a much too long date, the rest actually seems like quality horror entertainment. The acting is alright, at any rate, and the ending is actually totally decent. But, boy. Pacing, people, pacing. No more 45 minutes of unnecessary talk before the movie starts, ok? The would have been a pretty watchable like 30 minute short.
