The Hatred (2017) Online

The first 10 minutes set up the back story and then we get nearly an hour of nothing. I was going to say nearly an hour of character development but its not, just teenage girls chatting drivel for over 50 minutes. Finally we get to the horror that the trailer showed us. Sadly its brief, ripped from other movies & you don't care what happens to the characters. Go watch something else.

So the premise was interesting, but I don't know if they just decided to strip out most of the story during editing, i.e

Regans Grandmother, they made a point of her being unwell, we visit her twice, one point doctor says she flat lined momentarily (i guess supposed to coincide with one of the characters deaths) She even appears as a vision in the house to Regan, but then....nothing Was she supposed to be Alices Mum? what was he connection?

The Amulet, After all that research, it just gets left

I don't think we even see all her friends be killed, she just leaves after only finding one of her friends dead, what happened to the other 2 (last we see of blonde girl she is reading blood writing on the wall in German, we don't even get told what it says?

Started off OK, built up potential for decent story line, then just dive bombed into a shambles)

Five words: The trailer is completely misleading! This movie is just plain awful! From the moment it started, I had no idea what was going on. When I thought it was finally getting good, it started going downhill. The acting is HORRIBLE and it's your typical college graduate trope. Please do not waste your time with this movie!

Not bad at first, and very lousy at second half (its about hour when 40 minutes totally waste of time), then BOOM - we have tons of copy-paste horror scenes from other movies and shorts like "The Grudge", and that famous short with doppelganger (I think based on one-sentence horror- story) and many others. I don't't know what a next level laziness is this, but it looks like plagiarism. In camera department and sound - its okay, but... well, its not good movie at all.

Out of the gate, The Hatred sets up solid ground work. Part Apt Pupil, part The Conjuring, a decent backstory opens up the first act. As opposed to relying on flashbacks, this film plays out the horrific history of the locale and story. Post-Nazi America in a small town and the secrets that ensue.

The second Act only exists to guide us into the present day. Sassy, texting, little to say to each other modern day females visiting the haunted house in question. While trying to create strong, independent women, the script merely calls out the older male sensibility of what we think young adult women talk like. Merely hamstringing our female cast to become stereotypes trying to be more than what was written for them. Which is sad, because the actresses really try to create a sense of friendship, love and trust. However, the groundwork is downtrodden and stale.

The last act finally brings the scares and suspense. While unapologetically and rituallistacly off camera, killing off the cast; the final moments with our lead and the child are decently executed. The moment perpetuated in the films trailer is very effective and inventive for an otherwise stale and often imitated genre.

Overall, the film had a decent cast and a solid plot. The downside was the lacking second act and lowly accommodating budget. If that third act, trailer based twist on the supernatural played throughout this film, it would've been one for the books.

Some girls stay at a house for the weekend that has a few issues. The previous owner was one of Hitler's aids who escaped to the States. He had an amulet sent to him that was stolen from the French that would feed of hatred and fear. Long story short he kills his daughter and his wife kills him. This leaves two angry ghosts buzzing around the place. It's going to be a long weekend.

This one has a cool little back story but seems to keep the horror mild. Some neat effects are done with the ghosts which of course come with the jump scares. Mostly borrowed ideas all throughout the film but it still entertains. David Naughton pops up at the start as the new owner of the house. It could have been a lot darker of a film so we might have to wait for a remake.

5 violent dragging sessions through the house out of 10.

Do not waste your time with this one, it had the basis of a good plot at the very start, then goes quickly downhill.Acting is terrible, the film is terrible and the ending will leave you wondering why you sat through it.There are far better horror selections out there,this has nothing you've not seen a million times before, i suggest you keep looking.

This was far beyond the worst horror film ever.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The time you took to read this is less than a waste of time than watching the movie. You can do better than this movie. Just continue to scroll pass even if Netflix keeps trying to reccomend it. I wish I did. Save yourself. It's too late for me.

Movies like this are the reason I don't , as a rule, let NETFLIX or REDBOX pick my next movie choice. Just awful. The "acting," the pacing, the tired plot, the horrible production. Andrew Divoff (barely) saved it from being a total 0-star movie. Avoid it. You know it's a bad movie, when you scream at the screen, "OMG, kill the little girl, already!" I did. Repeatedly. Not because it was a valid way to destroy the evil, but because she was SO annoying. I've seen high school plays with better performances.

Thanks to some decent editing... or actually the one scene that got my attention, of the little girl under the bed ... I fell for renting this movie. Boooo. I really thought it had potential. But I was wrong. The writing for this movie was insanely horrible... like written by a 5th grader horrible... and definitely not by one of those 5th graders that people try to see if they are smarter than.

The acting was slightly better than the dialogue (which wouldn't take much) since I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't have much to work with. Just for an example, the child actor actually yelled out her own name when calling to the babysitter, and because I thought I was mistaken, I put on subtitles and verified... yup, she sure did (and they left it in?).

The story could have actually been interesting but they decided to go another route.... bore us and anger us for actually paying to watch this poop. Also there were some funny holes or questions at the end of the movie that made you go... what the heck? I gave them an extra star for the scene in the movie trailer.

Don't waste your time or money.... really not worth it.

******** Maybe Spoilery, so just in case, don't read the next bit***

The What the Heck, was how could the lead character, who went on about her great friends during the first half of the movie, suddenly not give a crap about what happened to them. She found one friend but then had the attitude -- "F the rest of those guys... we really weren't that close!". Yeah I can see why she didn't pause or turn around when her "friend" the handyman got hauled into the house, since they definitely weren't that close. But not even wondering about anyone else? And just running away like "F this, I'm out of here!", Kinda funny actually. Stupid, but slightly funny. So the last 6 minutes are unintentionally funny due to crazy bad dialogue and a character that went from so sweet and caring to F u all I am saving myself. Also, they showed the grandmother, like she was going to be significant, said she flatlined, showed her in the mirror for a second and never did anything or said anything about it during the rest of the movie. What a waste of film. The amulet wasn't even searched for or mentioned except once near the end. The writing in blood on the wall was never translated from German and last we saw one of her friends, it looked like she was trying to figure it out. You never even know what happened to the other friend at all after she went to bed. Seriously, both those girls are probably going to wake up tomorrow and wonder why their good friend burned rubber, leaving them to die. I expect there to be awkward moments of silence when they meet up again, and perhaps they will rethink their friendship with this selfish B.

The first 22 minutes gives us the background to the farm house....former Nazi, Hitler's Iron Cross amulet, and a murder or two. Enter present day, 4 college girls spend a weekend there with young Irene (Shae Smolik) who talks to the ghost in the house. Regan (Sarah Davenport) the billed star, set up as the final girl, leads the group. She is named after the Exorcist girl and doesn't own an eyebrow tweezers This is a typical nasty ghost haunting trying to be something it is not. The Nazi additive did more to take away from the tale than add to it. The dialogue was forced and not well conceived. Who the heck was Paul anyway? The horror build up lacked horror. Not much in terror or even jump scares. Sound track didn't do much. Girl dragged across floor becoming old. Double jointed ghost-old. Did they "home school" in 1968?

Guide: No swearing sex or nudity.

This motion picture atrocity did do one thing very well. It made me and the small group of people I watched it with, LAUGH. We re-watched scenes several times with genuine confusion as to how that particular scene made it through the editing process, which brings me to my next point. Was there an editing process for this movie? The Director for this waste of film is described as "an award winning writer/director". They must be referring to an award unrelated to film. Class Clown in Middle School? Or maybe voted Most Likely to direct a shitty horror movie someday? While scratching my head I did 23 seconds worth of research and found that he has directed NOTHING you or I have ever seen or would want to see. It's dumpster fire after dumpster fire on his IMDb list. This particular movie made me wonder, out loud, How the F$@# does a professional in this industry watch the final cut of this movie and think to himself, "BINGO!" If I am involved, in any way, with the making of this turd, I would be ashamed and utterly embarrassed. Next...this may be harsh but let's just keep this honest. I assume the little girl in the movie is related to a producer or someone that wrote the tiny check that must have been needed to make this bucket of vomit bc her acting skills are non-existing and sorry she's like nails on a chalk board. Same goes for the 4 older girls in the film. They all suck. Which is Ironic because that's probably how they got the gig. Our original hypothesis was that they were all 4 trying to move away from the porn industry. To say their acting skills were on par with that of adult film stars would be an insult to said Porn Stars. I saw the estimated budget was $800k...thats how much the set must have cost bc if anyone in that movie got paid to "act", someone had their pants pulled down. Please if you were involved in making this movie, quit the business immediately. You are wasting valuable days not doing something you could be good at while simultaneously destroying someone's hopes of watching a good horror movie. I almost gave it a 2 out of pity but I just can't lie about something this important.

It's the best part. Honestly.

Don't bother with the rest of the movie.

My wife and I sat down to our usual horror movie night. She showed me this trailer called the Hatred. Looked good so I said sure. What the hell. This movie had a solid back story and really gave a firm look as to how this house came to be so dark and scary. Typical start to a horror movie though. 4 collage girls come to stay at their professors place and babysit their daughter for the weekend...only to find out it's haunted and they find out clues about the house throughout the movie. It's interesting and it keeps you guessing which of the collage bimbos are going to be killed off first. Not an Oscar winning movie but it was entertaining to say the least. I'd give it a try.

I'm not a normal reviewer but I got too say I liked this film there are a few plot holes but I don't want to be one of those who ruin it all I can say is there are family connections those who watch will understand these are never concluded I won't say because I want you to watch the film but those who do understand will make the same conclusion the acting isn't that bad especially from the female lead I thought this would be to be honest cap was pleasantly surprised not loads of gore but a nice CEO ghost story

I can't say anything was terrible about what I watched, it just didn't grab me. I wasn't bothered enough to carry on watching

The first part of the movie, the '1968', well-it was just boring.

It could have been much creepier & hard hitting

Fast forward to the present day, four girls are staying in the home & you know what? I don't & I don't care. I sound bored by it because there's not much to say

Too tame a movie. Sorry!

Like most bad/somewhat decent horror movies, it starts in the past, specifically 1968. It follows this family of three, with the father being a former Nazi. He gets a package containing some artifact that feeds off anger. Time jump to "Present Day" and we see our four main characters (Regan, Samantha, Betaine, and Layan). They drive around and say teenage girl things (with dialogue comparable to The Bye Bye Man). They head off to babysit a younger girl (Irene) in the Nazi guy's house. From here on out, there is little to no exposition or character development. The first act lasts way too long, with nothing interesting or even slightly scary happening. The Second Act also drags on, with no development happening. The girls do find that the original homeowner was a Nazi, but that's about it. Then the Third Act bomb rushes you with information. All the characters die, except Regan and Irene, and then it seems to be left ambiguous, for sequel potential. Personally I find this movie to be so bad that it's not even so bad it's good, such as: The Room or The Bye Bye Man. The Hatred is just not good. Very few shots were appealing and very few scenes were acted well. The visual effects are mediocre at best. The Score is very generic and the Sound Effects are bad stock sound effects. If you are able to enjoy this movie, congratulations, I'm happy for you, as for me, I did not enjoy it whatsoever.

The Hatred starts out so decently with an interesting, historical and violent set up (nazism, abuse, murder), but takes a turn for the worse once the backstory is done.

I felt like I was watching an entirely different movie. A much, much worse one. We switch to present day and follow shallow, horribly written and acted college girls whom we know little about.

In an attempt to make them likable, the movie spends far too long listening to them talk about nothing of importance. They have no personalities, no motives beyond: "I'm a fun college girl. I like wine and boys. I oddly have makeup on constantly and know German out of the blue to service a flimsy plot."

After a brief scare in the barn and hours of talking, the movie rushes to the detective and scare portions. Despite having such an interesting set-up with a Nazi father and murdered daughter seeking freedom, none of the demons/ghosts' actions make much sense.

Then it isn't even that scary? Bad makeup effects on Alice. Alice's actual corpse in the coffin was scarier than demon her. Throw in some copied scenes from The Conjuring and Insidious (and I mean Copied) and not even scary jump scares (I didn't even blink at them), and you've got a bad movie. If you're not going to bother with a good plot/characters, at least make it scary.

All in all, I was very disappointed because it started out SO strongly that I genuinely don't know what went wrong. Wish they had explored more of the original family and how the demonic effect would grow on the already terrible father like a rural 60s version of The Shining.

Bad acting and terrible writing. One of the worst horror movies I've seen and there's been ALOT of them. Nothing in this movie makes sense and I just kept asking myself who writes and makes these horrible movies? Waste of time! Do not recommend!

I give this movie 1/10 because I CANNOT GIVE IT 0. This is simply embarrassing. It's awful in any possible way. All persons involved should not make movies ever again.

The many trailers that got popular on the internet and spreded that got (1m) the director also mad vanilla sky (2001). Another problem is that it also copy tuck me in (2014) and also the film is also based off a creepypasta the film is also gross and the hush (2015) you know what how about everything I write

1. The film is really gross the creatures may "creep you out!" But naaa screw that said the director

2. Bad acting the main character has a dark voice and cracky voice like saw the villian and he was in wishmaster (1997)

3. The films trailer was nearly equivalent to an idian film trailer the film got 1m views on youtube

4. The areas are really ugly to look at there all scrap and junk

5. The film is like amercian poltergeist (2015)

6. ITS NOT SCARY

7. It's a straight to DVD film on netfilm Noooo!

8. I saw it on Netflix it's terrible

9. 10/100

10 0.0/10

This is one of the worst movies I have seen for acting, story telling, and effects. It is like Scooby Doo cheesy but with 4 valley girls as the leads.

Very bad movie - weak direction and storyline. Doesn't make much sense.

People will watch The Walking Dead or some show on Syfy and love every second of it.

This movie is no worse then your average show on tele if you were to watch a few episodes back-to-back.
