‘Mockingbird’ — Brandon’s 30 Days of Horror — Day 4
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”

- Alcohol Pairing — Seriously, go out somewhere and get a drink instead of watching this
