Rarely will I read reviews and never ever write them. The negative reviews here are way to harsh. As an independent film supporter, you have to realize not all films are back by a film studio. With the small number of crew members and with the incredible list of talent, I'd say this is a very good film. Well written and directed by DeHey in what looks like her first feature. Cheers.

Came across this Indie film and thought it was very well done. Obviously not a big budget, but you can see the well written story brought to life by writer, producer, director DeHey. Funny to see Willie Aames as the landlord, even in a non comedic role he still has timing. Low end effects don't distract from the collection of a well cast film. Could use more creature as a creature feature, but still a good Independent movie.

Right, well normally I am not one that sits down and watch a movie based on the fact that a movie have won so and so many awards, or been given thus and that much praise. But I have to say that I was somewhat impressed when I saw all the stuff on the cover on the 2020 horror drama "Bottle Monster". Sure, I didn't read all those, but I was impressed.

And given the fact that "Bottle Monster" was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I gave the movie a go. And I have to say that the movie's synopsis definitely also had some appeal.

But oh boy, this movie was a dud. Talk about a swing and a miss from writer and director Marjorie DeHey. The storyline in the movie was adequate. I mean, it wasn't an impressive storyline, but it had its moments. But for a horror movie then "Bottle Monster" came in low and crashed hard. I was quite far from being a horror movie actually, unless you consider insanely laughable CGI insects as horror.

The acting performances in "Bottle Monster" were amateurish, sluggish and wooden at best. I wasn't familiar with the cast here, except for Bob Clendenin and he was in the movie for a good whole minute or so. And normally I enjoy watching unfamiliar faces in a movie, but I have to say that "Bottle Monster" was not such an instance. The acting performances here were terrible. I am sad to say, but it is the truth.

Aside from "Bottle Monster" being fully devoid of anything scary, then the CGI in the movie was downright horrible. It looked like the discarded CGI rendering from a 1990s computer game. It didn't add any layer of scare or anything to the movie. Well, that isn't true, it made me laugh and shake my head in disbelief.

I can't recommend this movie to anyone, nor would I ever do so, because it was hands down a train wreck of a movie.

If I have to point out a single positive thing about "Bottle Monster", then it has to be the opening track. That song was actually not bad.

My rating of "Bottle Monster" lands on a two out of ten stars, and that is based on the production quality of the movie solely.
