M. Night, Why? WHY? I didn't expect anything from this film and you still failed me!
Okay, I'll stop being dramatic. What did anyone expect? It floors me that this has a 6.7 currently on IMDB, That's higher than a lot of films that are much better (IMO) like Hulk (2003), A Little Help (2010), The Happening (2009), Many more films are better than this.
Yet, This trash seemingly has a lot of fans. I respect those people, I'm glad someone can actually like this film. I personally found this film to be disappointing, yet awful also. The cast is excellent per usual for this cast, Bruce Willis, Anya Taylor-Joy, Spencer Treat Clark, who is surprisingly great considering I've never heard of this actor and never seen him in a film, James Mcavoy, who is the best thing about this bad movie, How do you mess that up?
Well, There is one way. Sarah Paulson. Yep, Am I supposed to talk about her? She just isn't that great. She's not bad, but due to the crappy script, It kinda ruins everything.
THE SCRIPT:
It feels as if M. Night felt that this film wasn't boring at all, Unfortunately, It is boring. The writing is odd and feels like a fake movie script inside a movie. Remember Scream 3? Half the movie was about a cast/crew making a movie inside a movie, It feels like that movie. This doesn't feel like an actual film, It feels, kinda fake.
M. NIGHT'S POV:
I'm pretty sure Night knew that people were gonna hate this film. I get it, He doesn't care what we think. However, We have brains, We have thoughts, and that's why this film doesn't work. If the whole film was as ambitious as the last two mins of the film, This film would've been excellent.
THE ENDING:
I'm not going to spoil the twists, They're too dumb for me to even explain. If the film would've had literally any other twist, It would've been better BUT NO. There are so many plotholes to the point where a 2/10 seems generous, but whatever.
