I just got done watching Depravity (2024) and it was a total snooze fest.

Positives for Depravity (2024): I like the central premise of this movie. The acting from the cast is okay enough here. Everyone from Victoria Justice, Taylor John Smith, Sasha Luss, Alex Roe and Dermot Mulroney were all fine for the most part. And finally, the movie's setting of this hotel was pretty cool.

Negatives for Depravity (2024): This movie is just a generic crime mystery thriller that was collecting dusk until some producer found it, change the script a little bit, add some familiar faces and called it a movie. Honestly, the only reason why I bothered to watched this movie was because Victoria Justice was in it and yet the movie still feels generic. This is the type of movie you would put on in the background while you're doing other things and you would miss nothing. Oddly enough, that's exactly what I did with this movie.

Overall, Depravity (2024) was a dull and generic crime mystery thriller movie that has been done many time before and it brings nothing new to the table. If you're looking for a movie to put on as background noise, then this is the movie for me. But if you're looking for something to entertain you, then you're better off skipping this movie.

If you've ever watched a crime / thriller / mystery then you'll know exactly how this movie will play out within the first 10 minutes. There's zero surprises to be had, plot-wise, it's just a matter of how it'll get to the end - and if you've been paying attention to modern day movie making, you'll know a good amount of that too.

The one and only moment which felt original and actually caught me was the sudden death of one of the characters.

Unfortunately the writers are nowhere near as smart as they think they are, so the rest of it just feels like filler while we wait to them to confirm that all predictions were correct.

Also SO MANY stupid things happen that I can't even be bothered to list them or complain about them. Just do yourself a favour, skip this one and watch Shallow Grave (1994) instead - it's a FAR superior version of a similar story.

I didn't know what to expect and it certainly defied my expectations, from the story to the acting and the fascinating location (the hotel it was shot in was perfect for the story and genre), and it all tied together nicely, but the biggest surprises were the shocking twists that I did NOT SEE COMING and the acting was impressive all around including the outstanding cameo of Dermot Mulroney coming in and being a compelling figure to pull all of the other characters in. From a very accomplished writer this was an impressive directorial debut and hopefully a sign of bigger and better things to come!

Tight story, full of surprises and twists. The characters are fully fleshed out and the music along with the editing and creative camera angles all help move the story along at a clip.

At times the scenes feel like a Tarantino movie. It's menacing, sexy and clever.

Victoria Justice's performance along with the rest of the cast is enthralling as the plot and intrigue progresses.

Not every character makes it to the end of the film, and even though there's no way of predicting who is going to be killed it never feels unearned. There are no deceptive red herrings or eye rolling obvious clues.

Whenever you feel one step ahead of the plot the movie proves you wrong.

Fun, twisted, dark and was not boring at all.. something just kept happening in the movie. Not a single dull moment :D
