Lifechanger (2018)
2/10
Okay concept..
18 April 2019
Just thought I'd leave an honest review to counterbalance the 8/10+ reviews given by what I assume to be friends and family of the production company.

This movie is an absolute slog. It has the pacing of a half dead hampster limping inside of a square hampster wheel. That is to say, it goes absolutely nowhere, instead deciding to play out the same scene over and over and over again. It wasn't a particularly original concept, however I feel it has not been overdone and as such could have been fitting for a short film. A very short film. A 10-15 minute film. Seriously, just watch this film for 10 minutes and rest assured you've already seen everything you need to see.

I typically do not like romance muddying up my horror movies (unless of course it inspires the plot in some meaningful way) but this movie takes the cake. It's not a cliche Hollywood shoehorning of romance into a movie that simply could do without -- no, it's much worse. This film is driven forward by a romantic plot written by what appears to be someone who has never in their life experienced romance. The writing is just god awful.

In short, this movie plays out like the AI robots that are forced to read Trump speeches or Olive Garden commercials and then write their own (to hilarious effect) were sat down in front of a Cronenburg film and set loose upon my senses.

I give it 2/10 stars because the concept was alright, and after reading this review I hope you have a good laugh while watching it and seeing exactly what I mean.
