“5G: The Reckoning” (*1/2 out of four) was a wretched horror thriller set at the beginning of a global pandemic in which 8 students (Oliver de la Harpe, Stina Duval, Jason Lee Fraser, and others) are in lockdown at their college dorm facility and are virtually unable to connect with the outside world but find that an otherworldly presence has invaded their dorms and threatens to overtake their reality and endanger their lives. Promising beginning soon leads nowhere as film becomes both visually and thematically ugly and structurally routine. Can’t someone make a good horror movie about the COVID pandemic???
