Describe a Film/Movie that You Watched and did Not Enjoy Cue Card

Why didn’t you enjoy the movie?

To see the movie, I scheduled the time and date. Watching this movie made me very happy. The cinematography started to make me disinterested as soon as I started watching the movie over the weekend. All of the scenes were shot in the dark. Even seeing what was on the screen at one point was challenging. My laptop's screen literally needed tweaking since I thought it might be broken. There was nothing for the audience to gain from the tale, which was weak. It was an ordinary horror film where the main character starts looking into the possibility of a living girl being aboard a ship. Overall, the film's reliance on jump scares made it more cringe-inducing than entertaining.

What impact does the movie have on you?

I wasn’t expecting such a bad movie that could star Vicky Kaushal. After watching that movie, it took me a whole day to recover from the unpleasant feeling. It was later that I checked the reviews and found out the movie had low reviews. If I had known it before, I would have considered not watching it. The movie restores my faith in the fact that if the script and execution are weak, not even good actors can save it from sinking.

Why didn’t you enjoy the movie?

The main characters of the novel are Nick and Elizabeth, who learn that several sailors' spirits have entered their town in search of retribution. The film doesn't give much, and neither do the characters, who are shallow. For an hour, nothing much happens at all. There are only jumpscares to be found. After the film was completed, I looked up the release date and discovered that it had been released in 2005. That was perhaps the reason the film tried to depend so heavily on the jump scare scenes in the absence of a clear narrative. While watching, I had the impression that they had forgotten to mention that it was a remake of an 80s film.

What impact did the movie have on you?

After watching the movie, I felt it didn’t impact me in any way and was easily forgettable. However, I regretted spending time on the movie. The movie is available on Amazon Prime and I watched it only as I had a lot of time to idle away. I would never suggest anyone watch it. I am now a firm believer that before watching any movie check the reviews else you will end up wasting hours of your life which you will never get back.

Why didn’t you like the Movie?

The rest of the movie is just a stretch of how Maca is outwitted by her ex and how she eventually lets go of him after asking for help from her friends. It was basically about a girl who was so fixated on her boyfriend that she couldn't let go of him even though he moved on. There was nothing romantic about it. The movie wasn't hilarious or enjoyable. I watched the entire film with a blank expression on my face, without laughing or in any way feeling a connection to any of the characters. What a waste of time that was. I was much more irritated with the English dubbing in the film.

What impact did the movie have on you?

Somehow I feel the dubbed movies already disconnect me and the characters lip-synching doesn’t even match with the dialogues, so that becomes a big turn off for me. I feel expressions help characters convey more feelings but when the movie is dubbed, the lip movements don’t go with the expression and look extremely unreal. After watching that movie, I took a break from watching any kind of movie for a long time. I now choose movies based on reviews instead of simply watching trailers.
