Review of The Rizen

The Rizen (2017)
3/10
Not living up to its potential.
23 February 2023
GOOD concept, and some of the acting could actually have worked together to make this a good movie, but in the end it didn't hold up.

A low budget picture REALLY needs to worry about setting up the scenes correctly and here there were issues ... at least in my opinion. The use of 'the dark' is something that can be over used; this movie is case-in-point. I would like to say the scenes were more artsy than meaningful (which fails most time), but it could have been just lack of experience doing good directing.

In the end, this was disappointing. It's worth the time watching 'in the background' ... if you have something else to do ... but this is not something I would suggest making an effort. Sorry to all involved, but such potential only lives up to the potential if the execution is there.
