Review of Sick

Sick (2022)
4/10
Scream it ain't
14 January 2023
I'm officially at the age where it's really hard to relate to this generation of whiny, social media addicted kids. I truly wanted all of the characters to die.

Also, even though it's very different, it's still too similar to Scream. From the opening scene, to the knife yielding, black clad killer, to the set pieces, it is very derivative of the better slasher.

The fact that it takes place during the pandemic seems very irrelevant. It feels very gimmicky, honestly.

Three people hole up in a lake house to quarantine. A guy dressed like a ninja shows up and it becomes one of those home invasion flicks, where the victims get stalked and hunted in ever more ludicrous scenarios. Something else happens that was enough to keep me intrigued and from turning it off, though.

But the bulk of the movie is that. People being attacked by masked intruder.

Sure, in the end they try to tie it all back to Covid, but ultimately, this flimsyly plotted trifle will not stand the test of time. Destined for the trash heap of horror history. 86 min is the runtime of this movie and roughly how long it will take me to forget it.

Kitty cat pig. Oink oink.
