Welp... this was certainly a movie that happened. Some nice cinematography, but this was not for me.

Started off 2018 watching dogshit (shaking my damn head) 😒

Uhmmm like we all knew that little boy wasn't real. How dare you try to reveal that as a twist.

Screenwriter Simon Barrett swings and misses hard without an Adam Wingard to keep him in check as evidenced by Temple, a poorly directed, nonsensical, boring horror film full of tired cliches, amateur performances, and cardboard-cutout characters making idiotic decisions.

GuyDude McToxic Boyfriend, su novia Token Hot Scientific Girl y el amigo Buddy ThirdWheel Jr. son los encantadores y carismáticos personajes de este terror hecho con mucho cariño sobre americanos que se pierden en un Templo Maldito Japonés o algo así.

An American Greaseball in Japan

Three friends travel to Japan and stumble upon a book that leads to a forbidden temple. And of course, even after all the warnings, they have to see it for themselves, because: AMERICA!

Surprisingly more Japanese than I expected; I was waiting for it to go full American, but there were always subtitles popping up. It's kind of obvious what's gonna happen, but had enough interesting visuals and creepy designs to keep me interested (Japanese village and all). Honestly didn't give two shits for the Americans, but everyone (and thing) around them kept me invested.

Ending was a bit of a let down, leaving more questions than answers, but at 78mins, there wasn't much to complain about. Worth it for the scenery and creature designs, but that's about it.

Always great to see Naoto Takenaka; he'll always be that funny teacher who couldn't quite play the sax to me.

An und für sich eine ziemliche Frechheit, was man hier aufgetischt bekommt. Was war denn das? Der Film hat ja mal gar keine Ahnung, was er sein will. Soll ich ihn jetzt als Beziehungsdrama, Hommage an den J-Horror oder eigenständigen Horrorfilm betrachten? Spielt eigentlich keine Rolle, er ist eh in allen Rubriken durchgefallen. Cooles Setting, aber der Rest ist prüde, einfallslos und nichtssagend. Wie schafft man es 78 Minuten so leer und sterbenslangweilig zu inszenieren? Kein bisschen unterhaltsam, die Spannung scheint sich am anderen Ende des Kontinents versammelt zu haben und das Charakterdrama haben die nicht wirklich ernst meinen können. Schlechte Schauspieler, aneinander vorbeiredende Dialoge und eine Cinematographie, die der Location nicht im Ansatz gerecht wird. Und die Auflösung? Erinnert mich nicht daran. Da schüttelt sich bei mir wieder alles. Fazit: Ich komme mir echt verarscht vor. Einfach nur Bullshit.

The fact I was actually excited for this movie disgusts me, let me jump right into what's wrong with this movie. It's cliched as hell the whole movie is filled with cliches you have seen 30 times already, the acting was about as investing as a cardboard cutout. The writing led to many plotholes which by the way were never fixed. Another huge problem with this movie is pretty much nothing happened throughout this movie, oh yeah and the movie tries to be Blair Witch at the beginning for whatever reason (oh I'm sorry because one of the main characters it's a youtuber.) The only thing I can give this movie is the filming which was actually pretty decent, it's too bad everything else bombards it and completely ruins it as well. Overall Temple is definitely one of the most cliched movies of the year and definitely one of the worst, definitely stay away from this one....
