I’ve never been especially afraid that Janicza Bravo’s inimitable “Zola” might pave the way for more films based on Twitter threads; in the time since one of history’s biggest losers began to delegitimize the platform just because he’s so bad at using it, not once have I found myself wondering: “But where are we going to get our movies!?”
If anything, I expected BuzzFeed Studios’ “Dear David” — adapted from a viral, months-long thread that a former employee of the internet-famous content mill wrote about the ghost haunting his Queens apartment — to inspire some nostalgia for the days when the website formerly known as Twitter was still a wellspring of new media creativity, and not just a toxic cesspool…
10 reasons why Dear David is one of the worst horror films ever made
1. Boomer dialogue that feels dated and like the writer hasn’t spoken to another person before.
2. Poor direction that fails to craft a single effective scare nor tension of any kind.
3. Terrible acting from a cast that either leaves no impression, or is performing like they’re in a comedy.
4. “Spooky” kid faces that are cringe inducing.
5. Social commentary on cyber bullying that has no interest in going any deeper than saying that it’s bad.
6. This is an anti bullying story where a guy is punished for responding to trolls, rather than the trolls themselves getting targeted.
7. Abysmal editing that makes…
theres a scene in this where theres a jumpscare that's just the twitter notification sound playing over an empty street
I personally think creating a fictitious dead ghost child to hide your Grindr messages from your boyfriend is a bit much…but what do I know.
I changed my mind. Movies are bad and I don’t like them anymore
okay that was awful but “Top Ten Reasons to Kill Yourself at Work” did make me cackle
they should’ve kept this shit in the drafts
Oh dear, this was…not good that’s for damn sure. There is a decent plot here but it goes in dumb directions and never once felt like it was headed somewhere good. Cast are fine.
True masterpiece can really tell this is a passion project 🤤
Borderline unwatchable and quite possibly the worst film of the year. This is based on a Twitter thread from over 6-years ago and yet it doesn't come anywhere close to being as chilling, effective, or creative as that thread and instead is completely unscary, generic, and often times laughable. The acting and writing in this is some of the worst you'll see in a film all year and it's kind of amazing how poorly handled everything is from the very start. This starts off with a cheap and lazy opening scene that does a terrible job at setting the mood for what's to come and somehow gets progressively worse with each passing minute leading to an abysmally awful ending and…
Der Comiczeichner Adam wird nach einer Auseinandersetzung mit Internet-Trollen von seltsamen Ereignissen heimgesucht. Während er seine Erlebnisse online teilt, beginnt er zunehmend, die Grenzen zwischen Realität und digitaler Welt zu verwischen.
John McPhails „Dear David“ kombiniert das Thema Schlafparalysen mit Haunted-Horror, schafft es aber nicht, aus einer durchaus interessanten Idee mehr zu machen als Mainstream-Horrorfilm-Stangenware. Für Einsteiger und sehr schreckhafte Menschen funktioniert diese Formel vielleicht noch, für Horror-Veteranen ist das aber schon eine sehr zähe und langweilige Angelegenheit. Nutzt eure Freizeit lieber etwas weiser als ich!
