Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. So, since 2011, I have spent the entire month of October every year reviewing a horror movie each day. I've changed formats many times over the years, and in the past few years, I've even been joined by my wife Solee, as well as the occasional guest. We've got text, drawings, video reviews, audio reviews... we got it all! Wanna check out our reviews? Look below, or use the menu to the left to dig deeper!

  Belittling Horror Excessively: Absence 10:52 PM -- Thu October 23, 2014  

SPOILER WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS

Guess what? A group of kids decided to get together and drive out to a remote cabin in the woods to party! Specifically, this group is a husband and wife who lost their unborn baby mysteriously (it just disappeared from inside her during the night!), and the wife's brother who is the token Obnoxious Cameraman for this found-footage film. So they go out to the cabin, and nothing ensues.

Firstly, there has never been a human being alive who was remotely as obnoxious as the cameraman in this movie. And it is also completely impossible to believe that he meets a girl who is willing to talk to him during the movie.

The entire film is just these people hanging out at the cabin and trying to relax and get over the loss of the baby. That's it. You just watch them be sad, or get annoyed at the insanely annoying brother. Every so often there's a moment of weirdness during the night, but only a couple of times. Then in the last few minutes of the movie, a little bit of stuff happens but who cares at that point. And it's not interesting, it's not explained, it's not scary, it's not anything.

So we have a body count of anybody who tried to sit through the movie and didn't have the iron will to carry on, and a score of 0 out of 5 Whatevers. Your life will be better with an absence of this movie, avoid it.

This movie did not inspire me at all. There was nothing interesting in it to draw, and it sapped all creative energy from me, so here is a triangle.
