3/5
Written by Luke Barnes
I enjoyed the idea of an evil that kills in alphabetical order, the compulsive part of my brain enjoys the structure and the order to it. Furthermore, I enjoyed the pallet and the aesthetic of this film and I thought from a stylistic standpoint it was very striking, and vivid.
The actual plot of the film is fine, it has its moments, but it is mostly by the numbers. The same can be said of the acting, very average. There were a few moments that I found genuinely hilarious and that made me laugh out loud- though I doubt they were meant to.
The film has deep pacing issues, dragging out the first two acts to a point where they become boring and then skipping through most of the third to get to the end, which is sad as this is where the film finally starts to show off more of its potential.
Overall, the reason this film has got above average half marks is because it made me laugh, albeit it unintentionally.
Pros.
The humour
The style
The alphabetical killing
Cons.
The pacing
The acting
