Sinal 100 (2020)

A gory and brutal sad tale

So this movie has a pretty high level of gore and brutality in it. High school students being placed under a spell that forces them to kill themselves in the most gruesome of ways. If gore and extreme violence aren't your thing then don't watch this movie. However, if you can stomach all of that then what's in store for you is a sad and lonely tale. This movie has great suspense and characters that are likable. In a lot of these kinds of movies there are a bunch of throwaway characters who you don't really care about yet there should be a handful of characters that really charm you. This movie does that well. It will have you begging for them to be spared. Plus this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat as you join the students on their ride to survival and as they try to find answers. Watch this movie if you want a thrilling and exciting horror movie with some depth.

“Okay, but why?” and “Okay, but how?”

Were the questions I kept asking as I was watching, and I did not receive answers for the majority of them. The only things the movie had to offer were gore and the performances. The writing was nonexistent just like the logic behind the rules of the curse/hypnosis.

There were maybe 2 decent characters, but none that truly caught my attention. Most of the teens were either boring and just there to die in creative ways, or borderline psychos, and the laughable attempt to make it seem like “everyone would act this way in a similar situation” just made me laugh. There is a difference between doing awful things for survival, and doing awful things for survival while also laughing and enjoying yourself.

The ending is just dumb. Makes sense in the most shallow perspective, but when you start to think about it even slightly, it all falls apart.

Overall, they should have used some of the money from special and practical effects of gore to hire a better writer. Unless the source material is also this dumb, then there is no hope.
