Moviegoers are saying
Audiences walked into '417006' expecting a cheap horror night and mostly walked out muttering about a 'Tubi movie,' with the average rating landing around 2 out of 10. The shadow-monster premise and a few solid jump scares earned grudging nods, but stiff acting, cringe-worthy dialogue, and CGI black smoke dragged it down. One reviewer's free ticket and empty theater tell the rest of the story.

    Clavicular gets frame mogged by shadow monsters for a pointless 90 min runtime My film club got 23 free tickets to this and only 5 people showed up to an empty theater. You can definitely leave this movie off your watchlist

    Only good thing was that me and my date were in an empty theater so we got to talk through the enter movie other than that I have physically never seen a worse movie in my life. This should have gone straight to tubi Like I think I need to fly to California to Spencer…

    In for the slop and as bad as I thought it would be. Homage after homage that doesn’t do any service but just replicates due unoriginality.  The fact that it can tie most of the movie together within under two minutes for the end credits montage show a lot about this movie.

    This was, genuinely, an all around bad movie. Like so bad it’s funny. Trust me on this. You can skip out on this one.

    I wasn’t able to watch the movie. They had technical issues going on with the movie. I was not able to watch it or get a refund back.
