I don't know what the opening scene had to do with the movie, I watched the movie three times. I kept hoping that I had missed something. No, it was just a movie that had promise, but they didn't go anywhere with it. I liked how you could only see what was going on around you with the glasses on. It had like 1980's and 1990's computers, telephones and furniture. In one scene Jenny and Tiggs are in the dinning room, they are brewing some coffee, it was a coffee machine, but it had no coffee grounds or filter and the pot had a solid lid but there was the sound of brewing coffee. The movie seemed to go no where, the only clue that something was going on was the one little girl, Cassandra wasn't following the rules. None of the other children showed any sign that they were evil. I wouldn't have even known that they had played a trick on her if Cassandra hadn't said "Miss Jenny that it wasn't very nice the trick they played on you". A Locked door and black smoke? Scary! Not! I watch a lot of scary movies and this wasn't one at all. So many stupid things, she tells Cassandra "whatever you do don't let go of my hands". Then she leaves her alone in the dark on the stairs to look for Tiggs. When they go to look for Darby, I guess they were looking for him, I am not sure, they just showed up at his room. They were supposed to be scared but never ran. They open his door he is tied up and bleeding, do they rush over to check or help him? No they just stand there. When they help him up, he is only taped to the floor sitting on a chair. All he would have had to do was stand up. LOL stupid. Then there is this guy in the tunnel that is blocking the way out, a guy we have never seen or heard of. He catches on fire and I guess is blocking the way, why not put the fire out and leave? But no they go down deeper and then Darby gets touched by the kids. Really, they are just touching him, not holding him down, then the bag. No fighting, he could have fought off those kids. Anyway the end, "it's all about you Jenny, it's always been about you". Huh? What is all about Jenny?? Stupid, and I was stupid to try and find out what was so good about this movie. The score fooled me...

Jenny (Elizabeth Morris) is struggling with money and caring for her bedridden mother. She gets hired along with Tiggs (Kara Tointon) and Darby (Elliot James Langridge) as chaperons in an underground facility. She is surprised to learn the subjects are little children being trained in a learning program with augmented reality. Everybody has to wear special glasses to see. There is the AI named Arial (Jamie Bernadette) to assist the newcomers. There are no other adults around. The kids communicate through the virtual reality and remains silent except for Cassandra (Isabelle Allen) who befriends Jenny.
The movie is mostly filmed in the first person POV through those augmented reality glasses. As long as there are two or more people in the scene, it can switch back and forth almost like a regular movie. It's not until Jenny is alone that the movie is forced to be a solo camera affair. The camera restrictions and the glasses on everybody do distant the audience from the acting. I don't think the acting is bad but it is constrained. On the other hand, there is an opening rant that screams cheesy B-movie. The over-the-top acting there needs to be cut.
One of the problem is that these are kids with no real superpowers. Nobody picks up a weapon, or even a stick. It's obvious the augmented reality could be compromised by the kids from the beginning. This is literally a horror that could be solved by a simple flashlight. It would be more compelling to have the augmented reality forced on them like an injected microchip. I kept thinking they should take off those glasses and light up the situation through another means. There is also a twist that is obvious from the start. It's completely expected and I simply waited for it to happen. The only positive is that the augmented reality looks fine especially if you compare it to the spartan bunker setting.
Lured by IMDb User Rating
"Let's Be Evil" is one of those movies with suspicious IMDb User Rating: 6.1 for this crap, with 2400 Rating 10? The "Tomatometer" indicates 22%, a fair rating for this garbage.
The storyline is awful and senseless and the plot is a complete mess. There is no development of the characters, the location, the period of time, nothing is worthwhile in this terrible flick. There are basically three teenagers wearing glasses in a augmented reality and one little girl walking around in a walkways and in a corridors with flashy colored lights.
Don't be lured by this false Rating and don't waste your time watching this thing. My vote is two.
