Full Review Page

This is a bad movie. Not a good bad movie that you can get some enjoyment out of poking fun at it; it's a truly terrible movie throughout. Prior to Antihuman, Meet the Blacks was the worst movie I had ever seen, but at least that was a fucking movie with a plot. It was a wholly unfunny and horribly acted movie with a shit plot, but at least it was really a movie. Antihuman I'm not even sure qualifies as a movie. It goes way beyond pretentious art film; at least those have something to say. Antihuman is pure nonsense. I was flipping through Hulu when I saw Antihuman, which the description pitches as "A young woman leads her friends to a secluded mental research facility where she grew up, and where a dormant evil entity awaits to prey on them." I love horror movies that take place in hospitals or asylums, and I though it said one hour and fifteen minutes (it said 115 minutes). It takes over half the movie for the girls to get to the facility. Before then we get psycho babel bullshit and awful acting. The reason why all the girls have decided to go to the facility is only vaguely established, and it often felt as it it were going to break out into a porno. When they finally get to the facility, it seems to be a big house that they just slapped some "Fire Exit" signs throughout. From here, they seem to forgo the illusion of trying a plot and just spout some random philosophy. It's not just the bullshit plot that's wrong here either. The camera work has two modes, constant alternation between still cams and then a handheld being controlled by a terrible camera man. There is one scene where two of the ladies are talking to each other and the camera suddenly juts in towards them. It doesn't zoom and it's clearly not intentional. It's like the cameraman fell forwards and they just said, "Fuck it, we don't have time to re-shoot anything." The worst offender is the sound mixing. I've seen plenty of low budget horror movies, so the ADR was expected (although it often feels like at least 60% of the dialog is ADR), but the actual sound mixing is bad too. The first half of the movie and 90% of the second half have a "sinister" score playing the entire time. A cheap horror movie will often use the score to build up to a jump scare or something, but Antihuman has a solid 45 minutes of tension building score that isn't building to anything and had no relevance to the movie. No matter what is happening or what emotion the action is portraying, they play the same damn "sinister" score and it's usually too loud and drowns out the dialog. I had to watch the movie with subtitles in order to actually know what the characters are saying because they have the score turned up louder then the microphones in the actual scene. Literally the only thing I can give them credit for it buying quality cameras. The plot is pure nonsense and the film is only a vessel for the writer to spread his philosophy. The camera work is terrible and the audio is the worst I have ever experienced. There is no enjoyment to be had from this movie. I want to make that perfectly clear. A terrible movie like Wish Upon has some intrinsic value in the ability to make fun of it. Antihuman thinks it is high art, serious, and beyond reproach. Antihuman fails on every conceivable level. The plot makes no sense, the actors are worse than what I could find at a kindergarten Christmas pageant and the technical aspects are atrocious too. Don't waste two hours of your life on this mess. Spend it on anything else.
