Review of The Nameless

The Nameless (1999)
3/10
What?? Did I miss something??
21 June 2014
My best friend and I chose this movie to accompany our popcorn and wine for Girls Night! We turned down the lights, poured ourselves a glass and got underneath our blankets for what was sure to be a fright fest!

Okay so the first hour or so went by slowly. Scratch that it went by REALLY freaking slowly.

All of a sudden there is movement beneath the blankets....a tentative head emerges. " Umm do you think something is going to happen soon?" She asks me.

"Sure" I said. "It didn't do too badly on IMDb right?! What was it? 6/10? Something has got to happen soon. Just watch it".

I'm not going to lie...there were points in the remaining hour of the movie where I seriously considered walking over to the corner of my kitchen and banging my head silently against the cold brick wall. Just for some kind of mental stimulation.

Alas, we perservered and reached a point where there is a reveal of sorts between two characters. Lyndsey and I sat bolt upright and she reached over...clutching my hand.

She looked at me. Eyes shining brightly with hope and anticipation. "This is it, she breathed...something is finally happening...."

We turn back to the TV , clutching each other, barely daring to breath.

Surely these last 2 hours of slow, monotonous, Nameless nonsense will be worth it....

Surely the respected, intelligent members of IMDb wouldn't give an average but respectable score of 6 to a Spanish piece of diaper rash?

The credits roll and we sit back. Looking blankly at each other through the sudden stillness.

What a pile of garbage that was!
