Freddy's Fridays

This movie is bad. Very bad. The title and the demons are an obvious attempt to ride the coattails of the inexplicable popularity of Five Nights at Freddy's, and the main demon is even called Freddy, though they make a point of letting you know that his real name is Frederique. Gotta' be legally distinct, I guess. Just like the book that summons these Party City costume "demons" is legally distinct from the Necronomicon.

But they repeatedly say that the demons can only be summoned on Fridays, but they show up one time on a Saturday. You might watch this and wonder why the protagonist and her boss keep talking about how they need to call for backup, but never actually do it. My guess is they couldn't afford any other actors.

An awful movie, but I raised my rating from one star to two, because the lead actress Danielle Scott seems like she's actually a pretty good actress. I'm convinced that a couple of scenes where she loses her cool weren't scripted, and it was actually Scott getting frustrated with how bad the script was. But then she reminded herself to be professional, and that she was getting paid. Just my theory, though.

But her being talented and attractive isn't enough to recommend the movie. It's still very bad.
