Lowlifes 2024

Deeeeelicious! Go in blind. Wasn't expecting this from a Tubi original. I was sold with that unpredictable twist in the first act, it's nothing original but so exciting and sets up some interesting character dynamics that had me entertained throughout. Good acting, nice bloody kills, a few surprising practical effects, cheesy in a good way, a bit slow in the second act, poor dialogue but hilarious one-liners, and a satisfying wild third act. Although because that first twist was so unpredictable, I expected something unpredictable in the third act but it's all predictable unfortunately—but hella fun!

Twisty, turny and with a layer of social & class commentary, Lowlifes is a fun, bloody, and reservedly comedic romp that is best approached blind. Very enjoyable, surprising given its "made-for-Tubi" roots.

I saw a review that said go in blind, luckily the descriptions both here and on IMDB give nothing away so I was able to do exactly that and I have to admit it was the perfect suggestion.
This movie surprised me with it's execution, the casting was spot on, I just needed the character of Vern to be a bit more hammy.
The only thing missing to make this a potential cult classic would have been some nudity, but in fairness, it did what it set out to do quite well I believe.

First thing I noticed is how the actresses playing the Mother and Daughter look almost the same age, which would make the Mother 12 when she had her daughter... It was very hard to believe. The actors playing Father and Son did a great job in their roles too, with the father in particular giving off Back to the Future McFly's father of the past mixed with American Psycho vibes.

That said, I enjoyed the film, and found myself entertained.

This is the situation where there is a reasonable idea, nothing original, but it could be put to better use, but it doesn't manage to. The movie has a good starting point, but the story is very poorly developed and the performances are weak and exaggerated, unconvincing. In some scenes, the dialog is empty and adds nothing to the story. This is a movie that fails to captivate.

I knew that the hillbillies weren't the bad guys in the first 10 minute's when I noticed their incredible white, straight teeth...

Like cannibalism: not for everybody but rather unpredictable and surprisingly tasty.

This gory slasher about an RV family that finds themselves staying with reclusive farmers in an isolated house is the best Tubi original I've ever seen.
