Highly Overrated But Still Good

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This movie is terrible from beginning to end. Terrible plot. Terrible acting. Terrible ending. Just terrible.If I wasn't playing online poker, cleaning my house, and throwing my dog the ball so she could go swimming in the pool I would have never made it to the end. And boy does the end not let you down. It's so bad, it's not even in that "so bad it's good". It's just plain bad. Go watch paint dry, it's more entertaining.

How does decent acting ruin a movie? If the acting was sub-par, I would have stopped watching, instead of building up my hope that the ending would be good enough to somewhat excuse all the exceedingly dumb plot holes and the utter stupidity of the characters. In fact, the characters are so dumb none could have realistically reached adulthood in the first place. But anyway, the acting was pretty good, and I couldn't help UT think the ending might be clever enough to overcome all the nonsense so many others have pointed out already. I'll just add that even Barney Fife and his one bullet could have figured out what really happened at the ATM. It was a giant slap in the face that the actors had the nerve to do passable work with such a terrible story, to keep me engaged until they arrived at the ATM.

Watched this on the UK horror channel. Iv'e ticked the spoiler box simply because i recommend you read all the other reviews with a rating of 1 or lower. There is not much wrong with the acting or cast if you like B movies. It's the ridiculous script and lack of plot, or comprehension of why the killer is killing, which is the real Killer in this film, and the ending, that isn't an ending, it's all so vague and disconnected and so frustrating, as after watching the film all the way through, i was hoping for some kind of logical or meaningful ending. I, unfortunately, was wasting my time.And all i felt at the end, was anger, that i'd wasted an hour and a half of my time, watching such a meaningless, and pointless film.

To be fair, I saw this after a season of Hannibal, so "ATM" was up against some fairly stiff competition, which it met flaccidly, at best.I've seen that this was apparently made on a $3m budget (and it shows), so perhaps my criticism should take that into account. Nonetheless, I kept thinking this film was a comedy-satire and waiting for the signs of that genre, to no avail.The plot is simplistic bordering on simple-minded, with any semblance of suspense barely managing to limp along in the background. Guys, it's possible to squeeze cheap thrills out of a shoe-string budget, as the Halloween and Friday the 13th franchises have shown. The dialogue is so poor that at several points I had the impression the actors (I use the term loosely) were ad-libbing, and the characters they portray are correspondingly flat, unsympathetic and forgettable, such that you find yourself hoping that the bad guy hurries up and dispatches them all with his crowbar, to put the viewers out of their misery.The cinematography is minimalist. At least, I assume that was the desired effect. It actually just looks amateurish and static, as though the camera crew is frozen to the spot by the same sub-zero temperatures they contrive to have us believe the characters are suffering.Perhaps if the producers understood suspension of disbelief as a courtesy the viewer extends to them, and not as an infinitely exploitable resource that compensates for an offering that can only be described as anemic, then I'd be inclined to be more lenient. As it stands, "ATM" is trite, poorly done by everyone, and ultimately either disappointing or insulting, depending on how low your standards are.
