i-Lived (2015)
3/10
Dull, boring and unimaginative...
13 July 2019
I didn't really know what to expect from a movie such as "I-Lived" prior to sitting down to watch it. All I knew was that it was a horror movie of sorts.

Turned out that "I-Lived" was a laughable attempt at making a horror movie and including modern technology as the source of the torment and problems. Did it work? No, not really. Especially, since the movie was slow paced and weighed down by a very stupid storyline.

Nor did it help the movie much that the entire character gallery was a heap of characters that were essentially faceless and could all have been played by the same actor or actresses. These were characters that I didn't care one bit about, and it was characters that weren't properly fleshed out in detail, background and motivation. Which, essentially, made the movie somewhat of a drag to sit through.

Sure, "I-Lived" did have some potential, but it was just squandered and wasted at the hands of director Franck Khalfoun.

This was a boring movie actually, although I managed to endure the ordeal right up to the very end, in the weakening and dying hope that the movie would improve and pick up its pacing along the way. That just never happened.

"I-Lived" is a movie that came and went without leaving as much as a scratch. I didn't even know about it before now in mid 2019, when I happened to come across it by sheer random luck. And I can in all honesty say that this is not a movie that I will be watching a second time.
