Poor Herman (2022) User Reviews

Ten star reviews, hahahaah

[keirondarbyshire · 1/10 · 1 August 2023]

The acting is terrible.

The sound is terrible.

The camera work is terrible.

The lighting is terrible.

The story (as far as I watched of it) is.... terrible.

I knew this would be the case as the reviews are all TEN'S. C'mon people, if you're going to make fake reviews so as to boost the rating, at least go with something reasonable. Maybe try a SEVEN, people will still watch a film that's a seven.

But, what they know is that all real reviews will be ONE'S, so it will make the rating plummet like a brick.

I managed to watch about thirteen minutes of this bilge before knowing I'd seen enough.

Steer clear, ignore the bum reviews.

Just Plain Stupid

I read a review claiming this piece of junk to be a 10 rated satire comedy horror movie. Well it was hardly a 1 rated piece f junk and if I were able to go on the negative side of the polling schedule, this one would be around minus 10 for it's extreme lameness, poor execution, terrible acting, bad scripting and ludicrous plot development.

I have no idea what movie those who gave this any thing above a 2 at most must have watched. Because it sure wasn't the complete and utter nonsense that I put myself through trying to find the 10 rating that I read from smithbrandy-73011.

Maybe if I had a few magic mushrooms prior to watching this, the trip factor might have given this monstrosity a kick in the funny direction. But as it stands now, I am surprised and bewildered that this project was funded by well adjusted individuals.

Take my advise and avoid at all cost, unless you want your sensibilities to be fried by the nimcompoopery you will be required to endure for the duration of this film.

Great humor and music... best quality on Amazon streaming... makes a difference

[fnation-70396 · 8 November 2022]

The comedy cues are freakin funny and the music sounds crept me out on the scary scenes.

Great creepy awkward soundtrack. Acting was superb and will keep following these performers to see what they do next .... It's goofy and pretty dark and superrr sad (and disturbing, but then again "satire", eyy?) in areas, but a good funny indie. I'd say, one of the better dark indie horrors in a longgg time... more humor, which came natural in this film with actors chemistry it seems and what's often needed in average horror to even entice me....

Didn't hear sound issues as I saw in a different previous review, though some jokes were quiet to catch but too good, so I did flip subtitles on and died laughing. Was a dope film and I watched with Amazon Prime, great quality on that streaming service ... more so than on FlixWest in my opinion... so streaming service does makes a quality difference, though FlixWest is awesome to cater to indie films and applaud their efforts.

Poor Herman? Poor Anyone That Watches!

Made it all the way through it! Anyone that gave this a high rating is either an actor in the film or friends or family of an actor. Saving grace is that it is only 64 minutes. The actors Dawn (props for the uncomfortable outfit she had to wear) and Stevie are the co-owners of the production company that put up the $10K for the film which is absolutely why they died last. I would guess this was someone's final film project for a class.

As said in an earlier post the filming, sound, lighting and script were horrid.

I gave this one star for the banter between the 4 women at the beginning of the film.

You just can't hate this film ...

[politicalsciencegeekmate · 10/10 · 23 October 2022]

My thoughts ... unless you hate horror films or dark comedy, ya can't hate this film. I don't see any bad reviews yet but I'm sure they'll sneak their way in. The satire makes fun of different areas in modern society, so not any agenda or political side preference. I don't advise anyone to watch who doesn't have sense of humor or laugh at the intentionally dumb fun girls.... prob not a film for elderly or rigid or super young. A lot of swearing and suggestive behavior. I really liked this film a lot but I enjoy the humor and the characters. So only recommend to peeps who share an open minded, non "judgmental" religious or political view point... all in good humor and fun.

Watch it before your friends do, so doesn't ruin film synopsis ...

[millennialbby · 10/10 · 23 October 2022]

Not sure if my comment review is public or private but...Remember that one film all your friends laughed about and ruined for you before you got to see it? Napoleon Dynamite was mine. This literally could be a cult favorite like that bc has all the elements that are stupid good ... the things maybe mom and dad won't laugh at but all the kids at school think are brilliant. I just try to watch before friends do so the jokes aren't given away or ruin film for me.... Anywayz, I don't know who fav actor or actress was bc casted very clever. I even loved the shorter roles ... the bartender was so cute!! The cop and the mama ... the mama was scary good at the dark creep role. Anyways... a hilariously witty message driven indie... a must watch before your friends ruin it for you! No joke.

Was skeptical to watch... but it was super GOOD

[sheknowwassup · 10/10 · 22 October 2022]

So honestly, I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into before watching this film. I wanted something for Halloween and to get in the spirit. I put the film on thinking it would run in background on my tv, but I actually tuned into it! Okay.... was hilarious. The dynamics and girls on screen chemistry was so good. I laughed so hard. It took a darker turn later on which is evident in horror and I knew what I originally signed up for, but ultimately was engaged. It's an indie film which is impressive. I didn't know indie films could have good acting in it LMAO! They were like real good too. Definitely will watch a lot more and prob will add to Halloween binge list for future Halloweens. Herman actor did amazing job! His story was so sad and made me cringe. Def dark societal problems involved with comedic twist throughout. Satire dark comedy more than horror, to be honest. But glad I watched instead of left in background rolling.

Gives More than the Average Horror Film

[maniacmovie-23909 · 10/10 · 22 October 2022]

Although the comedy was borderline ludacris and the frenemies were ditsy beyond belief, the comedic relief helped tremendously lighten up the darkness of the film.

The frenemies definitely enticed me to watch the film, but in actuality, if you really pay attention to the film, there are true underlying messages especially around Herman. I don't want to give anything away but the journey of Herman really breaks your heart, and gives a new understanding to "why" he is the way he is.

I highly recommend this film for good laughs but also to have compassion and understanding for the fellow human. You never know what someone is facing behind closed doors.

It was more than just another Halloween horror film, and carries more depth. Hilarious and raw. The whole cast was excellent. I have to scale it on the higher score of horror comedy indie films. I will definitely watch it again and recommend to others for the humor and the genuine "human" aspect.

mean girls meets horror

[nonsensemedia · 10/10 · 22 October 2022]

Its def a comedy horror, with more emphasis on comedy ... the fun dry and very stupid style comedy...with more current societal issues in the film... applaud that. Main characters were fun to watch and writer made a clever script. Very impressive. Def more old school horror with the low budget indie feels...and I think its more appreciated that way. A couple sound issues on mastering areas of sound, but it could be the distribution network, etc. May have to use subtitles here and there or up/down volume when needed...still, these areas didn't take away from the good acting and narrative. Would def watch again for more laughs...

Comedy meets horror

[smithbrandy-73011 · 10/10 · 12 December 2022]

I am normally apprehensive about horror movies but this movie had comedy mixed in as well which was great. The plot was interesting and kept me engaged, while also touching on some of the challenges/issues facing a lot of the youth today. Despite the comedy, the film shows some of the butterfly effects that words or negative actions can cause on people. As the events unfolded, you got flashbacks that continued to reveal the events that caused a profound transformation in one of the main characters. This film had a good mix of everything I like to see in a movie and I look forward to seeing what work the cast creates in the future.
