![]() Jane is terminally ill, and Mitch hopes to give her one last happy vacation. They soon learn that another couple is already staying at the beach house-Mitch and Jane Turner, old friends of Randall's father. When they enter the house, Emily and Randall go upstairs and have sex and then have a small disagreement. Upon their arrival, they are pleased to see that the town looks deserted. The film was made available for streaming on Shudder on July 9, 2020.Įmily and Randall arrive at Randall's parents' beach house in a remote vacation town. The Beach House had its world premiere at the Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival in September 2019. It stars Liana Liberato and Noah Le Gros as a college-aged couple who take a vacation to a beach house, where they meet an older couple (Maryann Nagel and Jake Weber) and are threatened by a mysterious infection that spreads across the coast. It's not worth your time, which is a shame because it definitely could have been decent if they provided some exposition happened.The Beach House is a 2019 American horror film written and directed by Jeffrey A. Without any kind of explanation(s) than nothing holds any meaning and it's impossible to get invested or care. Other than some cool visuals it had next to nothing going for it. I'm sure there were some kind of explanations for things given in the book, why did none of it make it into the movie? Overall, The Breach is terrible and instantly forgettable. *silence* Apparently this was based on a book did they just get a 1 page executive summary of the book? There had to be an enormous amount of stuff that was left out. *silence* OR "do you know what a particle accelerator does?" The dialogue comes in two flavors: utterly pointless or frustratingly limited and vague. ![]() The characters are all absurdly, unrealistically stiff and stoic. All manner of crazy stuff is going on, yet inexplicably no one bothers to talk about it. ![]() The viewer is left with a never-ending litany of questions, such as: What was the goal of the physicist? What was his machine supposed to do? What was happening to the "infected(?)"people and why was it happening? Why/how did a "particle accelerator" cause these things to happen? What was the point of the wasp? How did the wasp get affected by, uh, whatever was happening, and why did things happen to the guy who got stung? Why did the scientist guy wear a cultist robe in the one video and what was he even doing? Where did all the creatures come from and why? Why did the house "look older" as the woman pointed out? What was the thing on the wall and why was it there? Why did none of the characters ask any pertinent questions about anything that happened? The list goes on and on. Various potentially interesting things and ideas are introduced, but nothing is done with them. That combined with the incredibly slow, plodding pace makes it extremely difficult to care about anything that happens. No reason or purpose is given for anything that the characters see, experience, or witness. Nothing, and I mean literally NOTHING, in the movie is explained. However, the writing is terrible and immensely lacking as such, it fails to deliver on any level. There should definitely have been enough material here to produce an interesting mixture of body and cosmic horror, even at the budget they were working with.
