Living Among Us (2018)

So much average

Purely Joyful Movie!

One of my all time favorites.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The majority of stars for this movie go to the stars themselves, since the fine cast try to do a great job with a good premise that is then butchered by the film maker.So much of the plot doesn't make sense and the locations and effects are not used to the best of their ability either. Other films have tackled the same ideas and done a much better job at staging, shooting and subtly letting a story unravel. Whereas here everything is laid out far too quickly and then sloppily followed along as if we the audience didn't see it coming from the get-go. Worst of all as a found footage movie it falls into all the pitfalls that the genre is criticised for. The amount of time that people mention turning a camera off or how they have to keep filming is maddening, not to mention the cheat static that is used far too often and far too blatantly.Overall this whole film comes across as amateur outside of the cast involved. So many other movies have done so much more with so much less, e.g. American Zombie, and they did it over a decade ago. Maybe if you are a casual horror fan you will find something here, otherwise I would not recommend this unless you are a fan of the actors involved.

This one would benefit from being filmed in a traditional way rather than being a found footage flick, believability is close to zero - cuts masked as "digital interference / glitches", super HD quality from the "hidden" cameras, not to mention very known Hollywood actors being here. TV scenes are done amateureshly in a way that you clearly see it's just someone on the green screen cut out with some additional lines in After Effects, it doesn't feel like real TV footage at all.But everything else is actually great - the movie is engaging and interesting to watch and it's definitely not a dragging one, actors do a good job (William Salder and John Heard take the cake with their charisma), the visual effects are great. The ending is not on that level though - a lot of very stupid and convenient things happenning, like when some characters demonstrate sudden weakness and stupidity after showing ultrasuperpowers and showing capability to think ahead of your opponent (not to mention they should already know something about the things the crew has, can't go into details because it would be spoiler, but it should be a pretty obvious plot hole).

A crew of three film a household of vampires to show how "normal" they are and that they should not be feared. Not all vampires agree. This is a hand held camera film with some name brand vampires, but an irritating film crew. If I was ever in a found footage type of film and then die before it is completed, please do not dedicate it to me. Just saying. The film had better actors than most in the genre, but unfortunately suffers from script anemia. I was just thankful we didn't have to put up with the green cam or the ground cam. Guide: F-word, nudity

VERY solid cast. Loved James Russo, John Heard, William Sadler. Those old dogs made this movie and gave it weight! Great story until the third act which went into a typical all-action survival ride. I loved the premise, I loved the story, I just wish the damn third act had been a little more cleaned up. That said, my friend loved the third act most of all. Maybe I'm just too old, who knows. I will say I didn't get bored.Not a perfect film, but very entertaining and very watchable. Anyone watching this should agree this is much better than your average horror movie.
