Synopsis

After 5 years in a coma, Madison Neubauer wakes to find her home and family in the grip of 'The Observance' - a religious cult who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.

Moviegoers are saying

"404544" has become an unintentional masterclass in how not to make a movie, with audiences united in their bewilderment at its theatrical release.

I don't hate this movie, it's just not well done. I can't hate it because I feel too bad for it to hate it. There's just so much amateur looking stuff going on here: awkward cuts, the camera not being in focus, bad audio, weak acting, the boom mic making it's way into the…

So, it's bad, but I had fun. There's something about watching a 'tubi' movie in a pretty packed theater. There's not much like it. My crowd was fun too - plenty of laughs at the unintentional comedy and outbursts during wtf moments. Random thoughts: -The main sidekick…
