Review

This Polish slasher flick, a Netflix Original film, is paced like a drama with some stalk-and-slay scenes (one of them referencing an iconic kill scene from FRIDAY THE 13^TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD, 1988). There is little suspense in NOBODY, the killers are shown early and often. The production value of the movie is good, considering its low budget, but─viewed as a horror film─it’s a “meh” effort, best watched (if it must be watched) as one is drifting off to sleep—that way, you won’t miss anything memorable.
