Scare Attraction

If you want to waste your time with this b side bit o garbage, go for it. Totally stupid. Lousy beginning, worse middle, and dumb end. Whoever made this should go back to bartending.

Preparing for a new presentation, a group of actors at a local scare attraction run through the routine as a special preview for several celebrities to get word-of-mouth going, but as the tour goes on they begin to question the ulterior motive of the trip when they're forced to play a madman's deadly game. This was a rather enjoyable feature. One of the better aspects on display here is the films' setup and presentation that has a lot to like. Initially doing the backstage preparation video with the performer going around to the other groups of performers in their various assignments which runs the gamut from playful glimpses of their intended performance to realizing that everything hasn't gone according to the script and throwing a fit, which is really enjoyable. Alongside the setup of the influencers coming to watch, this is a fun starting point to everything else that happens. Once this goes into the actual presentation, the cheesiness on display becomes highly enjoyable the more it carries on. Realizing that they're legitimately trying and just coming up a bit short on the realism scale with the boxing match or Mafia encounter gone wrong, it looks genuinely like the actors are doing their best with limiting options here given the way the rooms are set up since several are unconventional attraction scenarios. While this is the case, several others are just that creepy and genuinely unnerving, and with their differing reactions, this one becomes a cheesy good time. As well, the final half carries on a rather fun format of going through several repeated sequences. Alternating between night-camera footage of contestants being scared in the darkened room, jumped at by the female ghost, the killer stalking victims backstage and the game being carried out all taking place at the same time, it's a highly enjoyable sequence of events that take a somewhat surprising turn with the revelations and reveals that come forth. While also detailing some nice aftermath gore effects, these manage to hold the film up over its flaws. There are a few issues here. The main problem is the film's inability to tell what's going on as the lighthearted rooms and performances go against the darker truths of the group being held hostage. It feels quite out-of-character compared to the other events and is genuinely confusing as to how it fits in with the point of the story. That also makes it hard to tell if the slasher is real or not since these are done so late in the film, done without warning, and are shot in slow-motion montages so it's nearly impossible to trust it. These aspects are what hold this one back. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

4 is the nicest I can offer. You added a lot a effort into this production, especially with a show string budget. However it just got boring and predictable with plain unlikable characters. Too many of them anyway.

It's another cheap as chips, straight-to-DVD Film with bad acting, bad props, bad actors & a out the story with no imagination or thought put behind it. The film basically sees a Scare Attraction being opened up & to get the word a mouth going, a group of TV Stars are invited to try it out. But, when they all get locked into a room which resembles the bathroom from the first Saw Film, they get knocked out by gas. They then awake to find themselves in a Saw like game of truth & tell where they will die if they don't play ball. I found the film to be terrible. It's cheap, poorly filmed & lacks any kind of originality or reason for existing. The story? What story? Was poor as with the acting, the props, the sets & the actors who were all unlikable & annoying, especially the blond girl who really got on my nerves with her moaning & whining. The film is ridiculously short at 1 hour & 3 minutes. You could tell with the over use of the scenes with that screaming girl on the stairs they were trying to beef up the runtime somewhat which didn't make it any longer & was not only an obvious attempt, but was pretty annoying & repetitive. A good chunk of the film at the start was boring & even when it started to pick up, it wasn't great. The ending is rushed & abrupt. It's as if the film makers didn't know where to take the story. The film could've been much better, yet was a cheap budget version of Saw in some warehouse in the country in England. The film itself could've been a short film, but wanted to be feature length when it didn't even reach that it was 1 hour & 3 minutes long with an additional 6 minutes added on, but end credits don't count as the film. Overall, it's a poor slasher film with bad acting & actors, a little to non-existent story & a cheap as chips production value. 1/10.

If this is a horror movie, then my name is chappie. This movie has terrible script, terrible acting, no good storyline. Wasted my time watching this awful flick. Don't watch this nonsense.

Granted, I hadn't even heard about this 2019 movie titled "Scare Attraction" from writer and director Steven M. Smith until I happened to stumble upon it in 2020. The movie's cover definitely looked interesting and with it being a horror movie, of course I had to sit down and watch it. I made it maybe 20-25 minutes into the ordeal that is known as "Scare Attraction", then I simply had enough boredom for one day. First of all, a great part of the movie was shot with very questionable and shoddy camera work, which felt like something shot by an amateur - sort of like a drunk uncle filming a wedding. It just was awful to watch. And it didn't help much that the characters were pointless and uninteresting, not to mention the storyline was simply put just boredom. The dialogue delivered by the actors and actresses was actually as pointless and boring as the characters that were doing the dialogue. Not the fault of the actors or actresses, believe you me, because they simply had no material to work with in any way. "Scare Attraction" utterly failed to entertain me, much less catch and keep my attention and interest. And I can honestly say that this is not a movie I will be returning to a second time to finish watching the rest of the movie. Why? Because I simply have absolutely no interest in the movie whatsoever. I am rating "Scare Attracting" a generous two out of ten stars.

I can't figure out why this film got funding. Watched it for about half an hour and then turned it off. Didn't care what happened next, as always the characters are a-holes.
