“Every house has a secret.”

This film is proof that a nice use of sound and pretty cinematography can’t save a sinking ship. While it does deliver a few small thrills, suspense is low and the film overall comes off as very slow and stiff. The final fifteen minutes are the only part worth watching, and only then if you have a movie buddy to exchange outlandish theories with. The score: 0.5/5

“Forever is only the beginning.”

starring K. Stew and R. Pattz
I should begin by saying that I only watched this because my sister wanted me to see how terrible it was, and in that sense it delivered. Just as bad as its predecessors but often much more dull, Breaking Dawn is a pretty wooden film. It does, however, have a few “so bad it’s hilarious” moments, and the awful special effects (especially with the wolves) bring the laughs as well. The real score: 1/5, The Corny Cliff Scale score: 3/5

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film more disjointed than this – it’s absolutely all over the place, and the performances aren’t good enough to make that work. It alternates between being as stiff as a 2×4 and being absolutely corny. The film attempts to showcase the lives of both mother and daughter to highlight the parallels of their lives, but as a result of the back-and-forth focus, the audience never comes to care about either of them. The score: 0.5/5
