“Deadly Daughters” (*1/2 out of four) was a deadly dull melodrama about two two beautiful sisters (Yvonne Zima and Claire Rankin), one of whom may be plotting to murder their mother. Silly and bland thriller is about as scary and exciting as a family therapy session. Originally titled “Killing Monmy” but all the movie does is kill your time.

“Is Eight Enough” (* out of four) was a near-zero about a group of eight friends (Chris Acevedo, Rodney Alexandre Jr, Joy Bazemore, and others) who learn that one of them is being abused and they devise a murderous plan to eliminate the abuser but soon find themselves falling apart and turning against one another as they struggle to come together and unite to pull it off. Since none of the characters are at all likeable or even interesting, film has no spark or momentum or emotional center and winds up a waste of time. Film doesn’t end as much as it does stop but by then you’ll likely have had more than “enough”.
“Hive” (*1/2 out of four) was a third-rate Tubi timewaster about a babysitter (Xochitl Gomez) who starts to sense a dark presence amongs the playground children she is supervising and realizes the line between reality and recognition is being badly blurred and it starts to affect her overall sanity (and the audience’s). By the end of this clunker, you’ll likely wish she saw a good psychiatrist instead because this would have likely provided more thrills and certainly more intelligent dialogue. Gomez does what she can in the lead but film is devoid of any sting.
“The Relaspe” (*1/2 out of four) was a sordid underworld melodrama about a group of friends (Alex Javo, Marlon C. Hayes, Aaliyah Sheffield, and others) who lie, cheat, and double-cross one another with sex, drugs, and murder. Yet another character drama in which none of the characters are likeable (or even interesting) so you don’t care about anything that happens to any of them. Film is only about 53 minutes long but this really is one case where less is more.
“Do Not Open” (*1/2 out of four) was a flat-footed timewaster about a married couple (Shawn Ray and Marisol Ray) that rent a solitary cabin and are warned to not open a locked door at the end of the hall; as their curiosity and intrigue gets the best of them, the eventually open the door and (yawn) all Hell breaks loose. Well-produced on a low budget but doesn’t save the film from being a bore. “Do Not Watch” would be a better title for this trifle.
“The Mother’s Eye” (0 stars out of four) was an excruciating mess about a woman (America Sossi) who spends her days wandering around her estate but soon realizes she is not alone and is being stalked and hunted by a vindictive killer (Jamie Grefe). Film mostly consists of nothing more than Sossi wandering around and doing nothing and saying nothing and if that doesn’t sound like anything exciting or terrifying- you wouldn’t be wrong. Star/writer/director/producer/cinematographer/etc Grefe bears almost all of the blame for this unendurable film.
