Queen of Spades

source: Queen of Spades

This was a waste of a Great title. Had more thought in the storyline, and better actors FOR sure been considered. I think the title could have at least been a good "knockoff" to Bloody Mary, but it was really just thrown together. Do Not Waste Your Time!! The actors show hardly any emotion what so ever. The movie jumps straight into chaos. Without letting it build, or really explaining much all. The actress Katy. While spooky carries the same expression, and to e throughout the entire movie. Like I said the title was extremely catchy, but was a huge disappointment. What's the deal with the mom also, and the oversized markings that I guess is proof you have "been marked".

This movie is not bad at all i enjoyed this movie so much i watched it with my mom and it was so good and creepy and the end was good so I loved how the movie is so simple and scary.

This movie was extremely boring and predictable. It's a mix of several classic horror films... candyman, conjuring, and exorcist-you name it. The acting is cringy, especially the mother daughter combo. The storyline/plot leaves so much to be desired. You'll ask yourself why are you doing that, why are the mirrors still up, how did you know to do this or that?!!

How does this have such a low score? The movie is decent and the acting is god too. Sure this story has been done a million times but it's entertaining. It deserves a 5.

Look in the mirror and say her name three times. Not his name this time, Candyman has been and gone. The theme of this film will be familiar to horror fans. It begins with four teens witnessing a suicide; the victim jumps off a building and takes a while to die. Then there are three teens, then two - both of the guys are gone. But who can save the day? Not the one who discovered Smirnov - an irresistible if dated cultural reference - that was the second guy to die. Enter Smirnov! This film doesn't really have anything to recommend it until the climax, when we are in "Exorcist" territory with an interesting twist, and this is where it scores. But did they really exorcise the Queen Of Spades - what do you think?

Fun fact to start off: using a mythology/theme or whatever you want to call it, that other movie(s) have used, does not make this a remake of said movie(s). But I get if you feel there are similarities. They are kind of obvious or come with the territory. That being said, this is another horror movie that starts off quite interesting and then continues with characters doing something they just shouldn't be doing. But then again, if we didn't have those scene that are extremely cringe worthy ... well the movie(s) wouldn't happen ... so either cut this some slack and go with the flow or don't watch it at all. Of course there are more flaws ahead and this does not have the best actors (although for horror movie standards they are not so bad either) or the biggest budget. But it works with what it has, the shock effects are working most of the time and the twists are nicely put along the way.

This is a typical Hollywood horror film. It lacks the scares of its Asian counterpart. It is clichéd & I think the writers of Bloody Mary may have something to say about this storyline... It also pays homage to one of the infamous classic film. The ending is so predictable.

I stuck with it as long as I could but ultimately couldn't finish the movie. The entire cast acted like they all took some Benadryl before filming. No chemistry. Low key acting. Nothing particularly scary happens. Done up right it might have been a fun watch.

I've seen the original Russian movies. They weren't the best award winning films, but were entertaining. This movie is not. Boring plain faced teens with so much drama they should be working for TNT. Yet, none of them could convey a single emotion in their expressions, words, or body language. I didn't even bother finishing this mess. But hey, at least the black/Indian guy didn't die first! He died second lol. Had to come back and edit this review. Having random loud noises does not make for a scary film. If you enter someone's house uninvited you can't just go around tazing them. Gosh these are some super unattractive people, even for low modern standards, making them completely unlikable or relatable. I agree with other reviewers: the mother looks more like the girl's sister and they act more like estranged friends. I honestly thought these kids were supposed to be in college. Where are all the other parents? Where do they live that the schools and apartments look like something you'd see in Europe? There isn't a single redeeming quality of this movie.
