Review:
This was a disappointing genre effort with some big problems here that need to be overcome. This one is so over-the-top and ridiculous that it borders on being so ludicrous as to be unbelievable. The whole idea of the family trying to work through the issues they have, from the emotionally manipulative mother who enjoyed playing games with her husband in the past, the violent outbursts against anyone who speaks against her self-centered desires, an unethical doctor releasing her against and the loser children who are continually put upon for the decisions they made in life that keep them all in each other’s orbit. This makes the family such an unlikable group that it’s hard to care about anything they do.
With the family being so unlikable, there’s not much going on here that’s all that enjoyable. The first hour to this one is quite bland and excruciating to get through with almost nothing interesting going on dealing with the family and their issues getting in way too many subplots that aren’t in the slightest bit fun to watch or even funny like it all thinks this is trying to just play off everything as the most normal reactions ever but are some of the most unnatural and deranged reactions to the situation that lets us stay around unlikable characters for an eternity in frustrating situations. Among the few positives to be had with this one come from the bizarre and over-the-top nature of the dinner itself which has an unhinged quality to it alongside the gruesome effect effects to be somewhat worthwhile, but it’s too little too late to save this one.
Overview: 0.5/5
A nearly unwatchable misfire in all areas, this one is a hard effort to look into with the multitude of issues holding it back from the few positive points this one has. Really only give this one a shot if you’re a fan of this type of feature or the creative crew while most others out there should heed extreme caution with it.
