Review of Star Light

Star Light (2020)
3/10
Nothing special- free on TubiTV
31 January 2021
This film was neither interesting nor convincing. It might have worked better on paper as a pulpy comic book but it failed to hit the mark as a horror thriller or fantasy drama. The CGI that flashed in and out of scenes looked like a cartoon and the acting fell flat most of the time. Scout I am sorry to say wasn't convincing in the role and the supporting cast didn't have much to work with either. The actual plot when unravelled was so ridiculous it was not even laughable it was just boring and lackluster. I believe maybe the screenplay read better on paper and was not well executed when all was said and done. This was wannabe Stranger Things meets X-Men meets Evil Dead meets The Exorcist, odd mix but nowhere near the quality of production to pull it off. Instead what is here might entertain a ten year old but not a comprehensive adult. I am just thankful I waited until it was streaming for free on Tubi. Nothing special watch at your own risk. Like I mentioned, this could make for a pulpy comic book but mostly fails as a film worth the time. Acting all around was mostly cringeworthy.
