While the Tagalog cinema is flooded with cheesy romantic comedies, it is often nice to have a break away from that genre, so I was excited to get to watch the 2019 movie "Dead Kids" by director and writer Mikhail Red.
However, it was a short lived excitement, because "Dead Kids" turned out to be a tedious movie experience. An experience of which I managed to last 1 hour, then I simply gave up out of sheer and complete boredom. Nothing much of any interest happened through the course of that ordeal of an hour I sat through. And I can honestly say that I have no intention of returning to watch the rest of the movie, as the storyline failed to interest me at all.
I will say, however, to the movie's defense that the acting in the movie was good, and the actors and actresses seemed quite adept at making the characters come to life on the screen. Just a shame that they had nothing to work with in terms of script and storyline.
This was a disappointment for me and I am rating "Dead Kids" a mere three out of ten stars. This is by no means the best that the Tagalog cinema has to offer.
