Right, well when I sat down to watch the 2017 movie "One Night in October", I was actually thinking that I was sitting down to watch a horror movie.
But as it turned out, then writer and director Christopher M. Carter delivered a script and a storyline that proved sluggish, boring and uneventful. And as for it being a horror movie, well that might be stretching it a bit, unless you're brand new to the horror genre. I zoned out pretty early on in the movie because the character gallery had the appeal of cardboard cut-outs, and the storyline had the appeal of wet paint. There was nothing worthwhile or particularly entertaining to be found in the narrative. And that made for a very, very boring movie to sit through.
Of course I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but I can't claim that I was particularly impressed with what I witnessed. Sure, the acting performances weren't among the worst of acting performances I've seen in my many years of watching movies, but there was nothing noteworthy to be seen on the screen.
Visually then you're not in for anything grand. So there was nothing to write home about here.
Would I recommend you to sit down and literally waste 104 minutes on watching "One Night in October", no I wouldn't. Not even if you are a newcomer to the horror genre. There are far better gateway horror movies out there.
My rating of writer and director Christopher M. Carter's 2017 movie "One Night in October" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
