Come Out and Play (I) (2012)
3/10
Nothing But a Yawnfest

Come out and play? After watching this tripe I'd rather stay in and watch a pot boil. This is the worst movie I've seen in a while. Lackluster, slow, dull, uninteresting and nonsensical and if I could claim a refund on the hour and forty five minutes I lost on this I'd post in the claim tomorrow if not sooner.

The film pretty much start to finish is an effort to get through, from the 80s style beginning to, well, the 80s style ending. I don't know if the director was going for gritty or what but I know a word that rhymes with that which is more accurate. Nothing grabs you about this film and it actually gets more infuriating as it goes on.

This is a Children of the Corn type of film where a remote community has had all the adults killed by the children. The main difference with that story arc is you know WHY the children did what they did in Children of the Corn. Here, you're left wondering as nothing is explained why the wee spawns of the devil do what they do (unless I missed it because of my boiling pot watching).

There's nothing remotely interesting about this film, from the increasingly annoying main characters to the lazy writing. I guess the location looked good, but how far can you get on that with a movie that bores you to tears?!

Do yourself a favour and leave this one well alone.
