Ruined by Lidya Jewett's Horrible Performance
This could have been a decent kid's flick.
The production values are good.
The storyline is very kid-scary good.
The boy, who is the main character is very good.
It's Lidya Jewett. She can't act. She's horrible. Oh yes, we know exactly how she got the role and why. It's too bad producers went that route instead of getting the person qualified and up for the role.
Her un-emoting, monotone, unemotional voice is quite simply cloying. It brings down the entire picture.
You wind up hoping she gets an early demise so the ovie will get better, but noooo. That's not happening. You've to sit thru this bad acting for the entire film. - matildabalogun - 31 August 2022
That was
How old is Yasmine. Why did they make her act older than her age. Like a black tough baddie. That was stupid to me. And the witch?! Lol she was dressed like a teen in a goth phase. Didn't like it one bit. And as for the boy. I mean a little bit good acting on his part but I don't think that's how writers act. I'm a writer myself and I started a very young age. Bruh that's not how it is lol. The only good acting was from the cat. I understand it's a children's movie but come on, I've seen better wtf. And the CGI, my God. Just terrible stuff. I meaaann. The whole 8 and 7 stars I'm seeing are gross exaggerations. The movie is bad. Not even scary for kids This whole movie is just lol to me. That's how bad it is. Lol.
