Queen of Spades

Some really great jump scares in here. Obviously watch with the lights off and off your phone. Had me freaked out several times. Some dark stuff here.

Queen of Spades had me interested, but while I was watching it I kept wondering how much better could this have been if there was a proper budget attached to it. Clearly no special effects, some make-up and the necessarily distorted voice and that is it, the rest, camera work and actors doing their job.

So all in all a quite practical movie, with an overused plot, the same development of such productions, but I have to admit the execution was not bad. Not great, not good, but not bad, this is why I rated it 4 stars, cause it had something going for it, just that they took absolutely no chances with this film. At any given point during its runtime, you're able to predict the next 2 even 3 moves that will be soon to come, and the ending itself, I mean come on, one last moment to shine and they didn't even go out with a spark.

Queen of Spades is the same movie you've seen during the 80-90s period, so definitely not something to recommend unless you want to hook up on some nostalgia. Again, not the worst of movies, but adds nothing new to the haunting formula.

Cheers!

I stuck with it as long as I could but ultimately couldn't finish the movie.

The entire cast acted like they all took some Benadryl before filming. No chemistry. Low key acting. Nothing particularly scary happens. Done up right it might have been a fun watch.

How does this have such a low score? The movie is decent and the acting is god too. Sure this story has been done a million times but it's entertaining.

It deserves a 5.

Just really didn't care for it. It didn't seem scary or spooky or have any plot that was original or in any way different from norm. The acting wasn't great. Just not much to it and definitely no UMPH.
