Sweetie, You Won't Believe It

Kazakhstan has made a redneck slasher comedy and it’s fine for one viewing. Quite possibly my first horror film from Kazakhstan, so you have to take it with a grain of salt. It can't compare to other countries, the qualities are not that great, from the actors, the visuals, the action etc, but it's definitely an effort. A group of friends go on a fishing trip, but they witness a murder and a bunch of dangerous bastards go after them. To make matters worse, there's a one-eyed maniac who goes against everyone. It's a classic murder mystery spiced up with the kind of redneck humour I like, though here it teeters on the edge of awkwardness at times, but a few jokes work. There's a bit of gore and sometimes the not so great skill of the make-up artists is visible, but that ripped jaw on the other hand looked great. It could have been more brutal and funnier. I have it on the borderline of 2-3, but I'll give it the average rating for Kazakhstan's attempt. The film will find its fans, but I believe some won't even be able to finish watching it. Just at your own risk. Story 2/5. Action 3/5, Humor 3/5, Violence 3/5, Fun 3/5 Music 2/5, Visuals 2/5, Atmosphere 2/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 1/5, Actors 2/5. 5/10. (25/05/2022)
