The Terrible Two (2018)

Oh wow, this really stinks. You kind of know from the DVD cover that these ones are only going to be average at best, but holy shit, really regret picking this one up out of the bargain bin. Time isn’t on my side either today so a short review of this trash is the only thing it gets.

Sad couple Albert and Rose are grieving the loss of their two children, and Rose is taking it pretty hard. So hard that they’re starting to see and hear things, strange doohickeys are happening in the house, pictures are falling off the wall, words are being written in the mirror… you get the drill.

You can really tell by the first 10-15 minutes how poorly drawn out and planned this all was. The lack of material is incredibly frustrating. Nearly every element of the story seems to have been borrowed from somewhere else. And while the actors are only amateurs, their robotic delivery of the script is cringeworthy and ruin any talent they may have wanted to show.

Although the writing is so incredibly weak and brittle, a little is admittedly saved by the generally mild editing and doable camera work, plus a nicely crafted soundtrack which gently idles away in the background. This was definitely a low budget gig so the production isn’t that bad; probably the best thing in all its painfully stagnant banality.

2/10
