Crispy

Of course I had never heard about the 2024 horror movie "Crispy" prior to sitting down and watching it. But given my love of the horror genre, of course I opted to check out what writer and director Joe Leone had to offer.

Writer and director Joe Leone delivered a movie that looked and felt like a home-video project shot in the woods of one of the performers backyard. It was really a thin script and it just came off as being very amateurish and home-made. I can't claim to find any enjoyment in the storyline, and it was a struggle to sit through the ordeal.

The acting performances were mostly cringeworthy and amateurish, especially where they had to scale a non-steep slope using a branch was just so laughably bad and amateurish, or where Tate was sitting around sopping about having killed someone. There was one performer worthwhile noticing here, and that was Jessica Frew given her cerebral palsy and the fact that she is definitely a front runner for people with disabilities in acting roles.

If you enjoy horror movies, then I suggest you don't waste 76 minutes on watching "Crispy". Some of us suffered through this, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of writer and director Joe Leone's 2024 'horror' movie "Crispy" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
