WatchOnlineMovies | The best website to watch movies online

I've been obsessed with women's horror movies lately (thanks to Kier-La Janisse's Psycho House), so I was very excited to see Max Strand's directorial debut, Goodbye, Sweetheart. In the film, two women who have recently met are forced to work together to survive an encounter with an extremely dangerous man. Watchonlinemovies50 is a website that usually uploads movies and seasons in different languages. Despite some serious suspense, an excellent script, and a very interesting style, by the end of the film, I was not left with the strong sense of catharsis that I expected from the prequel to Goodbye, Honey. My disappointment can be attributed to several factors, but the most decisive blow was the lack of character development of the two female protagonists.

I was sure a giant monster was chasing her

The film begins with an unnamed young woman, the first discovered victim of the kidnappers. The camera follows her as she tries to get out of the basement, with someone presumably in pursuit of her. This scene lays the groundwork for the sound design, which proves to be extremely intrusive: the footsteps coming from above are so thunderous that I was sure a giant monster was chasing her! This tendency persists throughout the film and gets uncomfortable when one of the characters asks: "What was that noise?" and I can't hear what it's about because of the music in the background. Of course, it depends on personal preference, but sometimes for me, a quiet movie is scarier than a loud one.

The relationship between the two women is tumultuous

In the next scene, we meet Dawn (Pamela Jane Morgan): a middle-aged female truck driver who has been driving too much and sleeping too little for the last 32 hours. She is independent, determined, and loves her truck. He stops to rest in a New York State park, where the rest of the movie takes place (except for flashbacks), and where he meets Phoebe (Juliette Alice Gobin). The relationship between the two women is tumultuous, to say the least: Phoebe desperately needs Dawn's help to escape the kidnapper from whose clutches she has just escaped, and Dawn doesn't trust Phoebe because she is violent and unpredictable. Something needs to be done about that. Phoebe's character remains fairly consistent throughout the movie -- scared and nervous -- but Dawn's actions and motives were less clear to me; threatening Phoebe with a bat if she doesn't get out of the truck, she beats up strangers in a flash because she thinks it will help.

Even after a lengthy flashback showing how Phoebe ended up in the situation

This was the point at which the movie was entering into what I cared most about in its premise: the relationship of two women in a dangerous situation. Unfortunately, it seemed to me that in one scene both heroines went from hating each other to risking their lives for each other. For me, the poor development of the relationship between the two heroines was reinforced by the poor development of each heroine individually. Even after a lengthy flashback showing how Phoebe ended up in the situation she found herself in, I couldn't draw any conclusions about her personality. The overly stylized scene showing the audience how long Phoebe has been in isolation focuses more on the emotions of the kidnapper than on Phoebe herself. The film's climax is also awkward: the kidnapper (played by Paul C. Kelly) delivers a monologue while Phoebe listens helplessly.

 

It was even scary at some points

It's a sad reality that in the pursuit of great horror movies with female leads (or, let's be honest, great horror movies in general), so many works spend too much time building suspense but fail to create compelling characters. I thought "Goodbye, Honey" was technically and stylistically well shot and edited: the film looks great. It was even scary at some points! By the end, however, If you're looking for a website that allows you to watch great TV shows, movies, episodes, and series, we recommend that you should visit 9kmovies. I felt the movie was empty; I couldn't connect with the people on screen and what was happening to them. Goodbye Honey was scary - as a decent horror movie should be - but I expected more.
