It was a pretty decent movie and a good effort for his first try. I watched it on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised with it. I've been a fan of Markiplier for about 7 years and have looking forward to it for years. Unfortunately it's really hard to find honest reviews of it because there are his hardcore fans that will say it's the best movie they've ever seen while critics hate it by default because it's a "YouTuber movie." Personally I thought it was a solid effort and a 6 or 7 out of 10. It was a passion project and I always respect people that do projects just for the sake of doing them.

My advice if you wanna see it is try forget that he's a YouTuber, even if you are a fan of him, and go into it the same way you would with any indie film. Will make it 10x more enjoyable.

I've always had some personal resentment against the guy (nothing to do with his work - a toxic ex was really into his videos a good decade ago and that has left a mark, pun intended), but I still found the movie to be quite enjoyable.

Obviously it's not a triple A title, the acting is... well, it is what it is, it really reminded me of the Red Alert cutscenes. But overall it's a solid production, with obviously tons of care for it by the cast.
