Looks like the type of horror movie produced in the 90s. I'll probably end up renting it at some point but the title is laughably bad.

This was written by three time Survivor player Jonathan Penner. His wife directed it.

I can safely say until this movie I had never said nor thought it.

This is more apt for the Obama story.

The title, perhaps (only because of the term limit law).

If you trust Chris Stuckmann you will avoid avoid avoid.

Like most critics, Stuckmann is hit or miss with me (The Nice Guys best film of 2016, really???), but I'll trust him with this one.

How does anyone need a critic to tell them this isn't worth watching??? WTF???

Some people might be on the fence and was looking for a movie that might be so bad that it's fun to watch.

Saw this tonight with a large group of friends.

It's really bad.

I've heard this is pretty awful. The title alone definitely doesn't draw much interest and it being a PG-13 modern horror film makes it a pass for me.

I've heard a lot of praise for The Nice Guys. Personally I enjoyed it for what it was but don't really view it as anything that great or memorable. Pitt and Gosling were a good pairing and I get the point that films like that aren't made as often now days but still its a fairly average film in my opinion.

I know the video is Best of 2016... but he says The Nice Guys is his "favorite". To me, too many people make lists and try to be elitist. Maybe Moonlight or La La Land is the best of the year... but favorite is different to me.

It was originally R-Rated but had to be cut to achieve a PG-13 rating. The cuts are pretty obvious (and sort of random) in the final product but gore isn't the least of this film's problems.

All this film had to do for me was to nail the mythos of The Bye Bye Man and then make him look like a million bucks. It couldn't do either.
