Nothing happens until the last 10 minutes. I'm fine with a slow burn if it actually leads somewhere, but nothing happens. There are no twists and no turns. It goes in the most generic straight line it can. I thought maybe there would be something unexpected with the maid, but there isn't. She plays out exactly where you suspect she will too. Of course, I've actually seen other horror/mystery movies before, so if you haven't this may surprise you, but I still doubt you'll be happy you stuck around. I thought the acting was fine. You could literally watch the last 10 minutes and understand 90% of the story if you are familiar with horror cliches.

An abandoned ghost town is haunted by its limited and long gone population. Seen it before? Me too, but that's okay. The same types of stories are told over and over, in every genre, and that's fine; retellings still often manage to bring something new to the table. Teardrop did not... but it absolutely could have. I went into it hoping for, though not expecting, a fresh perspective on the subject; I got what I expected, yet was still disappointed. What could've been a great film was held back by a screenplay that felt far from ready to be shot. Teardrop, as a concept, had the potential to truly set itself apart, and drastically raise the bar. Sadly, the writing didn't allow the concept to shine. Major plot points/twists were casually, and constantly, volunteered by the characters (through terrible dialouge), leaving no room for the audience to feel any suspense, or attempt to solve the mystery of Teardrop on our own. The only thing I could view as an actual twist, delivered effectively, was Chris smothering Josie. The writing answered every question in the first act, then failed to answer any of the new questions it introduced in the third; we're told everything in the beginning, yet know nothing in the end. When done intentionally, it's masterful. However, this time felt very unintentional. Overall, Teardrop is conceptual gold mine that wasn't properly dug into.

Good story line, acting is mediocre except Denver. Some of the set is to laugh at. The desk for instance in this 100 years old building has metal slides.

Good concept and storyline but overall the acting was pretty bad, that in combination with the story being so long and pretty much nothing really happening during the whole movie besides from maybe the last 10 minutes. Sadly a waste of a good concept, and my time.

This will probably go down as the worst movie I'll see in 2022; the story was interesting at first but then devolved into nonsense, the movie plodded along at a snails pace and didn't get interesting until the midway point, and the production values just weren't much better than your average made-for-TV train-wreck that has no business receiving a budget. That being said, the acting was...good? Most if not all of the characters played their roles well, and even with a crap script, they made the best of it. The teenagers were surprisingly adept at delivering their lines like real teenagers do. Now if that's a compliment or an insult, I'll let you decide. This movie was garbage and will be forgotten and ignored like it deserves to be. Beware the reviews on this movie; I see a lot of accounts that reviewed this and only this movie, which lets me know that these people know someone that was involved in this movie or worked on it themselves. Disingenuous reviewing is the bane of this site, but it continues to happen; don't fall for their lies. To those reviewers; you aren't doing anyone a favor by lying about the quality of this movie. It's trash, I know it's trash, you know it's trash. At least be honest about it when you review it.

If you're expecting a slasher with lots of gore and blood spraying and kill counts like one of the Saw sequels, you will be disappointed. There's actually not even any characters killed off until the final 20 minutes of the movie. It's really more of a mystery, leading up to why this town became abandoned and all the people died. Like Roanoke. And how this teacher Chris is tied into the history. Kind of reminded me of a live action scooby doo mystery. The actor who played Chris was a standout (Jeff Branson). Kind of looked like a young Sean Bean. A slow descent into the haunting becoming more and more full of rage, the longer he's there, but also writing his book, so he can't leave. This ending was heavily thematic and made me think: If we fall into our darker nature, do we deserve the Hanging Judge's rope?

Read all reviews thought I'd give it a try. I never fall asleep watching movies. This one literally made me dose off and on. Had potential but if I were you..I would pass for sure.

I'm a huge fan of Spyder Dobrofsky. His writing is always outside of the box, be it comedy, thriller or horror. Teardrop is a perfect example of his amazing range. The last twenty minutes of this film creeped me out so much, I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight....

Awesome movie! The story is interesting, characters have a lot of personality, and the setting was great! Lots of unexpected scenes and twists and turns. Plenty of creepy scenes and suspense. Enjoyed all the attention to detail. A really great find!
