#tone-deaf

So, I’m going to make a series where I review movies that I watched to learn more about different concepts. This one was just, irritiating more than a slow movie. 

(There can be grammar mistakes, since I am writing this from an old keyboard, very old, mind you, but it still works thanks to me.)

Warnings: Dead humans, Spoilers, suicide, sexual themes, a karen main character, and a onesie wearing killer who hates the younger generation, and older generation, stalking, mentions of gore, drug use.

Explanation:

So, for short, our main character is a young woman that lost his father by suicide, she loves to play piano but she sucks, but people say nice things to her even if it sounds bad. On the other hand, we have our second main character Harvey, he lost his wife by suicide, and his wife played piano as well. Olive (our main character.) decides to broke up with her boyfriend, then her annoying boss fires her. All of these happens very quickly, and she finds herself talking about it to her best friend, Lenore, which she says that she should treat herself and rent a house, stay there, off the phone, off the men, and even without wanting to, Olive listens.

Harvey, stays with his very old house keeper, Agnes. She clearly cares for Harvey, and his son thinks that he has dementia. (Which sounds reasonable considering that he is very old but without medical knowledge, no one can be sure.) He totally hates millennials, and he founds himself lost after everything he had done in his life. He wants things to change, so he decides to kill people, saying that he done everything but never killed anybody. Olive being his target, Agnes becomes his target as well, and the killing spree starts when Olive comes to the house and give alot of money to Harvey. Olive, geniuenly hates it, hates the house, get’s scared by Agnes, doesn’t trust Harvey, house being too big to get lost on, everything is boring to her. She still uses her phone as to get dates again, but all of them are old man that Olive isn’t interested in, expect one person, so she chooses that.

Harvey, in a rage, ties Agnes down after talking about his true feelings a little bit, and Agnes tries to reason with him by talking to him, that doesn’t work on him, of course.  Through out the film, you see both characters struggle. Olive trying to connect to her mother, by talking about piano’s and her father, while Harvey finds himself all alone after killing Agnes, (Stabbing her to be exact.)  having constant nightmares about two gender natural humans, sometimes three, male babies appear, it’s all chaos and misery for him. Both of them shows their struggle by pushing people out, or trying to connect to other things, hating and sarcasm on top of non-stop explanation as to why they feel this way mostly giving not much information about it. After killing Agnes, Harvey decides to kill Olive too, but he fails at it, putting a spider in her contact lenses case, then mostly stalking her.  He saves her by a local serial killer who kidnapped a girl, which was the date that she had choosen before. Thanks to him stalking her in a bar, he learned the guy is probably the killer, giving that he tried to drug her while Olive left for the bathroom. Harvey, of course, observes. After Olive leaves the guy at the bar, phone number exchanged, the guy walks out too. Harvey follows him. Second victim being the local killer, he founds the missing girl in the bathroom, eyes and mouth sewed, hands tied, so he kills her too out of mercy. The movie slowly goes to the end while Olive is heavly injured thanks to Harvey’s traps, he tries to explain to her that millennials suck, how his wife suicided, how she played the piano beautifully, while Olive gives the cold shoulder, still not wanting to die, in Harvey’s dead wife’s dress. He wants her to play the piano, which she does, and she plays so bad that Harvey screams her to stop, hitting the piano until it gets broken by him.  Olive never heard of someone saying that she played the piano bad, expect on a asit trip where her father mentions how she plays the piano horribly. She roasts Harvey, taking her time until her mother comes to save her. Mother comes, shoots Harvey while he’s in is onesies, accidently shoots Olive, and the movie ends with her having fun on a grass where she’s hanging out with her mother. Oh, Harvey, by the way, has a son, that is gay, and you see him several times through out the movie, scaring Olive accidently or her mother. (This character becomes important later on.) Harvey, kills  five people, there are kills that I didn’t mention for the sake of keeping this short.

Review/thoughts:

Maybe I should have read a review about the movie first (highest it’s gotten was 3 stars). It wasn’t completely bad. I was a little sick of the killer ranting to the audience (I lost track of how many times he broke the 4th wall) about Millennials and how useless they are and how they’re ruining the world. Was very happy when the main girl finally did it about “baby-boomers” and how they actually ruined the world.

It was listed as a horror comedy which ... wasn’t all that funny. At least it wasn’t obviously funny. There might have been a moment where I cracked a smile with a “heh” in amusement but I definitely would count it anywhere near a comedy (not even horror-comedy).

Actors/Actresses, great. I’ve seen Robert Patrick (Harvey) in other things such as Bridge to Terabithia, Terminator 2, and the TV series Scorpion so I already knew he’d be good.  I didn’t think I’d seen Amanda Crew (Olive) anywhere but I had seen her in A Haunting in Connecticut. 

My main … “issue” with the movie… WHY DID NO ONE TELL HER SHE’S TONE DEAF. I mean yeah she clearly liked playing the piano and it was her dream to play it but oh my god you don’t not tell someone something like that. I know they (her mom and friends) didn’t want to possibly hurt her feelings but if someone had told her, then she would’ve maybe been like “oh, my dream will never come true” which yeah would be sad but she’d move on. She seemed like the type of character wouldn’t take it that hard. She’d be upset people lied more than she sucks.
