Review of Deadcon

Deadcon (2019)
1/10
A masterpiece of horror! Just kidding - it stinks!

Warning: Spoilers
Given that the running time of this movie is only 77 minutes in length, I have a sneaking suspicion that the movie's initial cut in the editing room was a lot longer, but for reasons unknown to me the movie was subsequently cut down. That might explain the many unexplained questions that come up in the movie. We never know how the evil force in the hotel originally got there, we never know why this evil force is homicidal, and at the end of the movie we never know how the hotel management managed to keep hidden what happened... among many other unanswered questions. But more of an explanation would have padded things out further, and the movie as it is plods by at an incredibly slow pace despite the short running time. For most of the running time, NOTHING of consequence happens. What makes it even worse to sit through is that all of the principle characters are brainless and annoying... and most of the secondary characters, for that matter. While I admit that many bad movies still manage to get a few defenders, I really can't see anyone watching this particular movie all the way through and giving it a thumbs up. A documentary of the making of this movie would probably be a lot more entertaining than the movie itself.
