Odds Are

source: Odds Are

I personally would not act anywhere near to what the characters who are involved in this do. Saw inspired a lot of imitations and copycats. Though I think its time to acknowledge that in films people tend to take what they like from other movies and make it their own. So while you could compare it to a degree, it is also quite contained. Still contained, does not mean things won't get out of hand. So credibility, especially considering the premise this is ultimately based on, is fragile at best. The house of cards comes crumbling if you just even try to think about sense and logic ... if you can avoid that, you may be able to be entertained or whatever you'd call it, by what happens on screen ...

Okay....-1 Star For Making Us Read Annoying Texts at the beginning... I hope the movie doesn't do this again. -1 Star For Goof, One time they didn't do that Odds Are #'s they just proposed a challenge and went right to it. That sorta defeats the whole purpose. +1 Star For 'History' It encourages critical thinking and Original Thought.... the 'bad' guy is pretty cool And the 'bad' guy gets a pretty raw deal himself. Physics says there is no way dude could have made jump from rooftop to pool. This really should be a -1 but hey.... it followed a lesson about History so I'm giving it a pass. Alright the final third of this movie was a little bit of hit and miss. Really didn't affect the score much. The moral really being 'Play Stupid Games... Win Stupid Prizes..... 4/10

I did actually watch the whole thing with zero expectations. Hard to do with horror but otherwise so many end up being disappointing. Even the "based on true events" lure couldn't save this movie! I found myself rolling my eyes and groaning about every ten minutes right from the start. To sum it up, if you enjoy movies where main characters do EVERYTHING WRONG all of the time then you might not hate it. Honestly I'm tempted to rewatch it with bad 80's music because as a horror spoof it might be more entertaining! Lol.

I did sit the whole movie out, curious as to how everything would wind-up, but it was not really a treat, to put it mildly. Biggest problems were the mediocre acting of all involved, and the fact that after a fairly promising beginning the suspense kind of sagged-in: all the endless tip-toeing through the dark house, that was obviously meant to be a nerve-racking cat-and-mouse game, became more and more boring and repetitive. The twist was okay, but not inventive enough to knock me of my feet. It seems to be based on true events, so one can hardly complain about the story and its ending, but if it had been an original script, then there would have been countless plot-holes to criticize (or laugh about). Like why didn't they call 9-1-1 when eventually the guy drove off, his threat to kill their friend if they warned the police by then didn't have any ground anymore. Or call 9-1-1 when they stood in the desert and had locked the guy in, they themselves didn't yet have anything to fear from the police at that point. Oh, and letting the batteries of a cellphone die at the most crucial moment really is such a worn-out cliché! As is the beginning of a horror-flick by showing the main character running around frantically being scared out of her wits by some deadly pursuer, as a preview of what we later in the movie will get to see. I guess that's summing this movie up: a too long and tedious, bad acted cliché.

I don't write many reviews and when I do I ALWAYS give the movie the Benefit of the doubt. I don't like giving a really low score because there is always something good you can take for each movie (I'm VERY forgiving). This movie was just plain STUPID and TOTALLY unrealistic. What person is going to go into a strange house, with a psychopath who has a gun? Every possible dumb and corny move happens in this movie. Nobody calls the cops, the girlfriend doesn't tell the neighbor what is happening even after he told her a killer lives in the house, and OF COUSE someone's phone dies! I was able and it was VERY TOUGH to make it to about 30 minutes, remember I'm very forgiving. But even I could not make it any longer. This movie is not worth giving up an hour and 41 minutes of your life. I know people always say a movie is terrible and many times it's just ok. But PLEASE believe everyone who gives this a 1 or a very low score. It's not worth wasting your time, there are a lot better movies to watch!

I truly don't understand all the bad reviews. This movie is far from the trash people are leading it to be. It is absolutely worth the watch. I gave it a 10 just to undo a couple of the one stars that it was unjustly given. In actuality the movie is about a six and a half out of 10.

🎥, ODDS ARE, is far from TERRIBLE, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, etc. It is based on true facts, so the people that rated this movie a 1 are nothing but haters! The 🎥 is interesting and keeps you antsy from the beginning to the end. To all potential 🎥 addicts that go by ratings before watching please watch ODDS ARE, and you will see what I mean.

The film started promising... and stayed promising for a full 20 minutes...that is until they got into the house. Then, it got highly predictable and implausible. The villain didn't feel like a villain, the other characters were dumber than the usual horror flick characters and the promised fear was non-existent. I felt I was watching a bad documentary. If you're a fan of the genre, watch "Don't Breathe", which is not perfect but much better than this...

This is the worst movie I have ever seen! I have never had the urge to write a movie review before, but after I watched this movie I felt the need to save as many people as possible from watching this trash. You are welcome!
