Corbin Nash (2018)

Corbin Nash is as poor as it can be and is a home of almost every cliche you'll ever find in vampire films. First of all the screenplay is stretched far beyond the limit. The film should have gotten over a long time ago, but it keeps dragging on and on and on. One of the most yawn-inducing film of all time..... Second, writing is extremely poor and dialogues are laughably bad and unintentionally hilarious. I bet even an amateur can write better than these so-called professionals. Now, lets talk a bit about the cinematic structure of the movie. The film is told in a non-linear manner. Now, non-linear structure is good only when it serves a purpose to the story, other than that it's nothing more than a form of structural decrepitude. This film clearly misuses this technique as there was no use of non-linear structure. The film could have easily been told in linear form without even hurting a single facet of the plot. The use of music is extremely poor, as again it lacks the charm. The music is forced to give the atmosphere a gloomy look, but clearly it doesn't work. The lighting is also far from good as it never provides credibility to the scene and stoods out as a sore to the eye. Also, the use of frequent close shots is questionable as acting is totally void. Direction is the weakest link of the movie. Never for a moment, I got invested in the plot as the ambience lacked believability. The director tries to force too many things at a single time in the name of mood building, but everything falls flat. Acting is weak, music is poor, writing is feeble and editing is effete. The film is full of cringy moments which sometimes entertained me due to its unintentionally funny nature. The film takes forever to come to a resolution. Even though such films demand certain level of disbelief in reality, many scenes lacks logic and feel out of sync. All in all, a complete waste of time! Never ever try to see this movie, not unless someone is willing to pay you for watching this shit.

I do wonder when I see all these 1- and 10-star reviews alongside each other, defeats the purpose of IMDb's sliding scale. Surely a film has to be spectacularly bad or good to earn that sort of rating, and 'Corbin Nash' was neither of those for me.I can understand some of the flack it gets. A 'bit-part' film that doesn't really know what it is ... apocalyptic, torture-revenge, fantasy, vampire-slaying, (although as someone already pointed out, they've rather tagged this on the end), even Christian imagery ... the mish-mash of candy-noir doesn't really work for me either. Some of the reviews put it down to the acting (blind prophet Malcolm McDowell trying to sound profound is stretching it ...), more likely to be the writing. Anyways, don't over-think Corbin Nash, arch-villains Corey Feldman and Richard Wagner make the film more than bearable, although I'm sure if it were Batman the whole thing would play out better. Strange, too, that 'heavy-hitters' McDowell and Rutger Hauer obviously saw something in the film, more than the 1 out of 10 some reviewers believe it merits.So, you're not going to get these 100 minutes back, but Corbin Nash is a passable one-time viewing. Lie back and enjoy all the gore and filth ...

I wouldn't actually bother rating this movie if it weren't for the misleading 7.2 that I saw on the online movie portal. This one is so bad, I had to fast forward starting minute 00:32 because I thought I was already watching for an hour or so. I almost fell asleep. The plot is so slow and boring, editing is horrendous, nudity are being misplaced everywhere, unnecessary gore everywhere, with plot holes as big as volcano craters. Watch this movie if you seriously want to see how bad and low a vampire movie can really go. After that, do watch Interview With The Vampire. Wash this filth out of your head. I know I will.

Awful does not start to tell you the let down. Where in the universe do these reviewers giving 9 and 10 come from? One even wrote "best movie of the year". You got to be kidding me! I admit, the ploy is always the same: early on upon movie release, all these people show up with lots and lots of standard / non sensical praises extolling the worse movies. Technically, this trick is as old as online reviews: it fortunately should not fool anybody. Well, except me this time... I saw the IMDB average 6.something rating, thought why not? and went for it. Well, that was a mistake: this movie was like a bad dream with nothing to redeem it. A bad movie with all the ingredients: the misfits vampires, the violent weirdos, a meh! vague story, a bout of MMA, lots of blood, a tiny touch of gothic atmosphere and above all, Ladies and Gentlemen, real baaaad acting. If you have 1:35 hour to waste, here is the occasion.
