It's the epitome of low quality horror movie. Teenager style gossipy "drama" absolutely 0 scare factor. Just all around terrible movie.

Yesterday (August 5 2016), I finally got to see the movie, " The Girl In The Photographs", which was the final movie of Late Legend, Mr. Wes Craven who was the Executive Producer. It was supposed to be released on August 4th, but they changed the schedule for it. I've been running around like a mad dog to cinemas everywhere, as the websites of the cinemas showed that it was playing, but it ended up being canceled. I even made calls to the theaters more than 20 times, I think, and they never even bothered to answer, as I didn't have a vehicle, and was traveling on trains and walking up and down. And I thought to myself, I am not gonna let anything stop me from showing honor to Mr. Craven, Then, finally, I found a place that had only two shows, and I went for the earliest, which was 7pm. The movie was directed by Nick Simon, and features Claudia Lee (Kickass 2 2013), Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar film series, The Namesake 2006), Kenny Wormald, Toby Hemingway, Luke Baines, Miranda Rae Mayo, Corey Schmitt, Mitch Pileggi (Wes Craven's Shocker 1989, The X- Files TV series), and one of my top favorite scream queens, Katharine Isabelle ( Ginger Snaps film series, The Soska Sisters' American Mary 2012). I loved it, and couldn't even blink for a second. It has suspenseful jump shock scenes that remind me of Wes Craven's signature in films. It's extremely and brutally violent - not for the faint of heart, with a mixture of sick psycho-maniacal slasher sequences. Plus, there's some really good comedy. It all adds up to being one hard-pumping, extremely powerful, violent slasher, fun thriller flick, which would be guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the late Master of Horror, Wes Craven. This movie received negative reviews, but I've never cared about bad reviews from critics. They just don't understand the powerful art of this film. While the end credits were rolling, people started to get out, but not me, I always sit through the credits, whether in a cinema or at home, to see who I know that was involved in the film. After the end credits, I stood up in the empty theater for that peaceful moment, and gave a huge, massive salute towards the big screen, for this was the last film to involve Wes Craven. He was the very first horror director I knew and followed when I was a kid, he will truly be missed. This movie is a tribute, a dedication to Mr. Craven, and I want to thank director Nick Simon and the entire cast and crew for this feature, for showing honor to the Master up in Heaven. God bless you all!!!

I was intrigued when I heard about 'The Girl in the Photgraphs' because it had an interesting title and a potentially interesting premise, with a chance of some mystery in the story. The synopsis on IMDb reads: "A bored young woman in a sleepy community called Spearfish starts receiving photographs of brutally murdered young women. Are they real or staged? The culprit is either a serial killer or some creep with a sick sense of humour." Sounds interesting enough - that is until the first scene in the entire movie answers the question, which just so happens to be the only thing the film could have had going for it. From then on it is just an abysmal mess, not worth anyone's time or effort.There are times where this film can't seem to decide whether it wants to be a horror movie or a romantic comedy. There is nothing wrong with taking the time to make your characters charming and likable but do it within the context of the movie. The uneven tone is so noticeable that it becomes incredibly off-putting and takes away any chance the film has to build any atmosphere or tension. In fact I can honestly say in the entire 95 minute runtime I never once felt the slightest emotion towards the movie. I was never worried for a character's safety, or charmed by the dialogue, or even for that matter got a single momentary fright. There is very little good here. Don't be fooled by a nicely made poster and a misleading synopsis. It's terrible.

The final "picture" was soooo brilliant that it did add to this very strange movie and yes Kal Penn irritated me at first until MAJOR SPOILER STOP READING IF YOU Haven't SEEN OR WANT TO SEE he got killed and then I blurted out "hey he was my favorite character " so to some extent I must have liked whatever Slam on a Hollywood type photographer he was doing ; now to dissect it would kill the movie; there are too many loose ends we don't know why the killer is a killer or even get any Inkling Of his background etc. BUT the movie as a whole wasn't bad; it definitely has some redemption and the last picture was one of them. I'd recommend waiting for it to come out in video however.
