Is it because you knew who he was first? Because he did comedy and now makes serious horror movies? People held the guy up like he was Scorsese after his first movie! Which wasn't even that great! It was good, but nothing in there singled that he was the next great thing.
He's very M. Night Shyamalan, talented for sure but got success too early and can make movies exactly how he wants to (which isn't always good) and is now a product of himself. His movies are too slow, filled with pretentiousness and are overblown.
This movie has chapters! Why? Is it ever an advantage to stop the movie to signify that something important is going to happen? The sister is way too annoying. And the flashback/plot point with the monkey doesn't need to be there. I get why it is, but it's way too much screen time for a movie that's too long already. And it's purpose doesn't justify why it's in the movie. I really didn't want to dislike this movie because of the title but the title was annoying.
