The Eighth Night (2021)

Waste of the cast

When I first heard about the movie, I was pretty thrilled to see all of these actors in one place. Despite that, one of my favourite genres is horror. As a result, I was even more excited to watch it. However, I admit, my excitement was for nothing.

I can't even explain how much potential this movie had/has. It has an excellent cast, an exciting story. Yet, the results were more than disappointing for me. Since the start of the movie, I had no idea what and why was happening. I had to go through some comments and reviews so I can understand what was happening. I feel like the writing was not it; They should've hired another writer.

Despite how boring the movie was, all of the actors did an excellent performance. I couldn't take my eyes off just because of them. I wish to see Kim Yoo Jung and Nam Da Reum working together again but in worth production.

Summary: I must say I do not recommend this movie. I believe that there are people who might like the movie. Nevertheless, this wasn't for me. According to me, this year's Netflix movies were kind of disappointing. I hope to see better productions by Netflix in the time!

Note: I am not trying to bash the hard work of the people who tried their best to make the movie. The review is based on my experience while watching the movie. Also, I apologize if any grammar mistakes appeared, English is not my first language :)

boredom to no end

when i first saw the trailer, i was really excited to watch this movie, i thought "wow, this looks promising". Google the actors, i thought "wow, these are good actors". So i get my hopes kinda high. Make time to watch it as soon as i possibly can. Well, what a disappointment. The story is so flat. What you see in the trailer is everything with a little bit of suspense in it, all the other scenes are just bleh. This is not a horror movie, it's a drama, and a boring one too. So boring that i kinda almost fell asleep so many times, i really had to force my self to finish it. Give it a try if you want to support the actors, but don't expect this to be a horror story.
