Storyline

When three college students move into an old house off campus, they unwittingly unleash a supernatural entity known as The Bye Bye Man, who comes to prey upon them once they discover his name. The friends must try to save each other, all the while keeping The Bye Bye Man's existence a secret to save others from the same deadly fate. 

 

 Review

The Bye Bye Man has a running time of 97 minutes, the movie is P-13 rated, which is too high, because it is not bloody and violent pictures in there, and is in cinemas since April 5, 2017. It tells us the story of Elliott, who got a scholarship and together with his girlfriend Sash and his best buddy John he moves into an old house in the woods, far away from the campus. The problem is just that this house has its story which should be forgotten, but it is not because the sense of the story has different plans. And this will not happen because this story is about the Bye Bye Man, which name should not be told, neither thought, otherwise he will come and get you, or he will chaise you and will fuck your mind and turn you around and drive you crazy. 

The CAST begins with Elliott who is played by Douglas Smith, who is okay, nothing special. There is no background about him, as well as not for the other actors. He cannot carry this story on his shoulders, and so he is just okay.
Then we have Cressida Bonas as Sasha, Elliott's girlfriend in the movie, who is also just okay, and Lucien Laviscount as John. There is nothing more to tell you about the cast, they are okay in their acting, somethings there actions are not easy to understand, so we it is okay if we forget about the movie universe and compare them to all the other actions already happened this year. Finally there is Doug Jones as the Bye Bye Man, he has a great look, a nice presents, and a cool acting sometimes set on jump cares, something spooky, and dark. He is the best in the cast.

The CAMERA is nice, is dark, set on different horror elements, behind the door scenes, jump cares, mind fuck moments, and splatter horror elements. All in all nice work.

The SETTING is the house of the three students, landscapes, most of the time the usual wood area, like what we saw e.g. in GET OUT already this year.

The MUSIC is sometimes too loud when it comes up to the scary moments.

The EFFECTS are sometimes good, sometimes not because the Bye Bye Man is not alone, he has a friend, who's animated not so good.

Conclusion:

The movie has actually a nice story telling, I like the idea of the movie of a man who comes first when you think about him or say his name. What I liked about the man is the Bye Bye Man and the going into different directions of the characters, their mind will fucked up and I like that idea always in horror movies.

The cast is not good, it is not important what will happen to the characters, which kills the movie. The action is easy to predict and so we have nothing new in the horror movie, it is not a horror movie in my eyes, because it is simple, not bloody and not scary, almost for kids.

4/10 as a horror movie

2.5/10 overall

This is a bad sad, because there was more to do with the script and the story. However, if you are a horror movie fan, go and watch, if not, you would not miss anything important.

Thanks for reading and have fun watching movies.
