I’m going to get this out of the way now, this is not a good movie.  I had high hopes for it.  As Netflix put it, “A woman, a man and a couple each receive a video camera and instructions to keep filming — or face terrifying consequences.”  Sounds good right?

Nope.

Of course, I just randomly chose this movie on Netflix, and it did have a single-star rating.  So it was my choice, and I am solely responsible for the consequences.

When I first started this 30 Days of Horror, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch movies I had already seen or not.  So far, they have all been movies I have not seen.  This movie may have changed that for me though.  Just as a horror movie pallet cleanse, I might go ahead and watch a movie I’ve already seen, or at least one that has been highly recommended to me.

So, to wrap this blog up, here is a list of things I would rather have spent an hour and 20 minutes doing, than watching Mockingbird:

  • Listen to Buzz complain that I “look things up on the Internet too much”
  • Wax my legs with duct tape
  • Swim around in a tub full of glitter
  • Listen to a conversation where people speak in text abbreviations and use the word “bae”

Analysis

  • Gross Out Factor — Who Cares
  • Jump Factor — Blah
  • Alcohol Pairing — Seriously, go out somewhere and get a drink instead of watching this
