Safer at Home

The rest of the actors have to make do with staring at their computer screens with insincerely shocked and anxious faces; the lack of dramatic tension is all too apparent.

Not every story is suited for Zoom-style presentation, and this derivative, uninspired one only underlines the strain in being fit to a presentational framework that does neither actors nor audience any favors.

What Host really had, and Safer at Home lacks, are credible characters. Instead, we're confronted with the same nonsensical solipsism that made everyone glad that Cloverfield had monsters.

The cast is solid, but it's the screenplay from Will Wernick and Lia Bozonelis that leads them astray with a story that's both ridiculous and cliched.

Safer At Home fails at encapsulating the isolation through the COVID-19 pandemic.

We all grew tired of the group Zoom call.

While not perfect, this independent production is still worth adventurous audiences' time.

Obnoxious and boring ... It's one of those movies that was clearly made to cash in on the coronavirus pandemic ... Avoid this toxic trash dump of a film if you value your time and your intelligence.

What we have here is a very annoying movie that's 2 contrived 2 B convincing.

Safer at Home is the type of film we should get used to. Innovation is the key to keep directors, actors and crews working, but instead of being the next big thing, there needs to be more thought about why these stories are written and by whom.
