Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
jdoe3156 This has to be one of the worst horror movies I've seen. While the lead actress is good at what she does, the script is just beyond mind-numbingly boring and almost every conversation feels irrelevant and bland.Who wants to spend 2 hours listening to an over-the hill married couple arguing about nonsense? Not me, that's for sure.I really recommend everyone to not waste their time on this movie.
fraynio Worth the watch. But not for the Marvel/Star Wars crowd. As you can probably tell from the reviews, there were not enough explosions or CGI to keep most people entertained.
Johnny H. Just like Death Note, Gerald's Game is a film that couldn't be released in theaters because it takes a story that just doesn't fit a one-off feature film format. Gerald's Game does have good moments, but the ending is where the film becomes an exposition-ridden slog that becomes the archetypal cliche-ridden Stephen King fest (the IT-mini-series, Children of the Corn, The Lawnmower Man and so on) we've seen again and again.Child abuse? Check. Questionable husband? Check. Tormented woman whose backstory and revelation is shoehorned into the ending of the story? Check. Ominous monster whom we don't know anything about (basically a psychological IT)? Double-check.Bottom-line, I don't think this comes even close to 2017's other Stephen King adaptation: IT. Gerald's Game squanders its potential and the ending's dependence on easily resolving childhood trauma with some ominous being just seemed... unbelievably hokey to me. Trauma's never that easy to get over; it requires something way less binary and obvious.This straight-to-web film gets 2.5/5 stars.
paulclaassen Oh my word, this was uniquely different, and very suspenseful, too! The premise is great, and the acting superb. The stray dog adds nail biting suspense! A bit confusing at first, everything starts making perfect sense as the story unravels, with the heroin fighting her inner demons as she fights for survival. Great visuals. I also thoroughly enjoyed the idea of Bruce Greenwood (in great shape!) shirtless for most of the film...
