Reviews

I must admit it's quite slow to bloom, so if you're not in a mood of watching fire burn, you might not sit through this one and you might never get to know how good it actually is.

Initially the doings of the characters and the ways they act, their dialogues seem so strange, it creates a mysterious atmosphere, but it does feel heavy and unnatural (although later it is explained, which is good), which might confuse the viewer at first.

Hints are being placed here and there and they are good, they can actually trick the viewer and they keep you wondering.

Overall, the whole theme of the movie is terrifying actually.

The ending is quite well executed, its logical and powerful. It is also the best part of the movie, which is very rare in modern horrors, and that's why I called it a gem.

I have enjoyed the movie for the most part. Setup was interesting, the eerie atmosphere of the potential experiment going bad is present and is made well.

The story is nothing new. It is scary if you think about, how something similar might be happening in real life. Certainly, it's not going the way it is going in the movie though, because it would be really practically unreasonable and unrealistic, like "ha-ha, we are evil pharma, now we gonna make yall suffer cause that's what we do, ha-ha". Don't even get me started on that 'drug' and the death scenes (to me it seems highly implausible and overdramatic)... Yet even distant possibility of similar experiments is enough to consider and is something to be alerted about.

Millie Brady is beautiful, but the characters are quite superficial. Can't say it's a big problem for a type of movie this is. We do get a small insight in each of their lives, but it's not dramatic enough to make us care really, apart from the main heroine (where we get bit more, while still not really enough). Most character interactions and dialogues are no good.

Execution is on a 'okay' level I'd say. Obviously, looks like budget is limited (the whole movie takes place in like 3 rooms, and each of them is sterile, which can be explained by this being a locked experimental facility and/or also low movie budget and the lack of attention to detail at the same time), yet the existing scenes seem to be well made. In other words, camera operators and editors did their job well. Overall, the picture is a pleasant view.

The ending is controversial to me. It is logical story wise and obviously we all root for the main character, yet ideologically it's empty and it's also unrealistic, so its not satisfying to anyone who wants some answers or an unexpected turn, or something similar.

All that said, somehow, I did enjoy it for the most part still, I guess my expectations were low and I really liked the setup and the image, and Millie Brady of course. So I'd say my scoring here is generous.

If you ever seen a horror movie, the chances are you know from the start where all this is going. And there will be no surprises.

So the main problem of this movie is the plot, its based on classic folklore stories and follows the path that so many movies (or even child stories) have shown before. Which might be good... but it does not exceed any expectation.

So some might call it a classic, some might call it a cliche. Either way, its not unique, its not new, even the creature - I saw it in dozen other movies, and I can name multiple where its simply executed better ("The Ritual", for example).

In other terms, it is mediocre. Characters are not very likable or believable. The motivation of the antagonist (for example) and his image - I believe they are severly lacking any originality or style, they are so superficial it hurts.

Ending is simply weak - culmination is unsatisfying. It is simple (which is good sometimes), but it ain't smart or fulfilling, or entertaining in this case.

So I'd say the score I've given in generous. It's a mediocre movie. Some might say its okay, some might say its bad, but there is no basis to call it great - that is for sure.

I see multiple ways this could've been a better movie (just add a single thing that isn't a trope), but it is obvious that nobody bothered here to create something new or unique, this is just same old same old once again.

It is good, interesting to watch.

The story has its strong and weak sides. It has some nice surprises in terms of character exploring, but overall, it is not very original. "Kill 'em all" type of story. John Wick samurai type of story. Its nothing new, but currently such story is in value.

It is entertaining. It has style. It has drive. And it is logically complete, unlike most modern series. It creates a certain atmosphere and embraces it beautifully at most times.

Yet, it is not nearly perfect and, as per my humble opinion, it falls flat away from being a masterpiece.

First of all, these humor bits are ridiculous. It turns a serious story in some kind of a Shrek adventure. Jokes are good in moderation and if they are funny, but these clumsy attempts are simply terribly out of place.

Secondly, all these antagonists are just lazy writing. No depth to them, no good story to them.

Third thing, unnecessary sexualization. Don't get me wrong, it can be beautiful. A bit is a must surely, but what we have here is just spilling over the top. What it shows is just lack of taste.

And that leads to the last thing I'd like to mention. It is that this series starts off embracing its original style, but it somehow manages to lose it along the way. The further it goes, the blunter it becomes, it becomes tasteless... The ending is rushed, pretentious and just unfulfilling.

The point is, I was expecting a 'Samurai Jack' thing here and the buildup was there, but what we get eventually is some 'John Wick' stuff. If you watched both of these mentions, then you surely know the difference between real greatness and some popular fun.

I have enjoyed it, yet I was still disappointed about all the missed opportunities and unfulfilled promises.

A simple, honest attempt to make a good movie.

I loved the overall idea and setup, sort of a countryside atmosphere, the views, the takes on questions of life and religion, the slow burn, thoughts on redemption - whole picture comes well together.

Characters felt natural and realistic, plenty likable ones to root for. The cast is perfect.

Story is probably the weakest aspect of the movie for me here. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't any clever or mysterios, or entangled (and I really feel like story is usually the most important part in a movie). Just simple straightforward plot with a cheesy twist. It could've been better if another path was chosen, a harder or more complicated one. But then, I guess, this wasn't the point of the movie. It seems that this movie aimed to be what it was.

I enjoyed it, I would describe it as simple and wholesome. Cruel, yet honest. Light, yet meaningful. It should leave a warm feeling after watching, if you let it sink in.

It might also be a good choice to fall asleep to.

The movie is slow and there is barely any action, so if you are just here for the sci-fi, you probably won't find it entertaining.

Sci-fi is there, but movie is mostly based over sociology and psychology of what the future holds.

There is plenty of thinking to do throughout the movie and I really liked that, subtle implications about the world, character interactions hinting the outcome - that is all quite interesting and mysterious.

I felt that chill, yet gripping vibe to it.

Only problem I found to myself about this movie, is the question 'why?' As I was not able to find a satisfying justification for what was happening. Why would someone do this?! It appears to me that in reality people would find a better, easier, cheaper solution to avoid toying with other people's feeling like that. To me this core part didn't made sense.

Other than that, I found the movie compelling and gripping.

This movie was actually quite interesting to watch. Well, the most part of it.

It has style and some unique originality to it. Its gory, dark, messy, yet light and quick.

The plot is not bad, even though it falls flat in the end, it is exciting in the beginning and initially kept me guessing, which in turn kept me watching.

I also feel like characters weren't savored well enough, there were actually multiple interesting ones, so exploring them could've made the movie much better.

I stumbled upon this one randomly, as I usually do, I didn't read the annotation or watch the trailer, so I went in without knowing what awaits and it was worth it this time.

If only it had a better ending to it, it could've been a real gem. Setup is quite cool. Unfortunately, the ending is weak and superficial.

I still enjoyed it. It surely deserves a higher score than it has now.

It's kind of a slasher with a classic story to it. Reminds me of the 'Scream' and 'I know what you did last summer', got that exact same vibe to it, but with a bit better setting to my taste.

This movie definitely has some style as per my humble opinion, it is straightforward, yet honest (not pretentious) at the same time. I can respect that and I did enjoy that.

A more sophisticated ending though would've suited it much better and could've made the whole movie much more entertaining. I mean, this ending was just too obvious and blunt, it lacked a trick.

Honestly, it was not a bad movie. It was totally better than I had expected it to be. But then after seeing how it started, my expectations grew while the story unfolded, and then the ending, as I mentioned... maybe it holds up to the standards of a basic slasher, but it sure doesn't hold up to the standards of a good thriller or mystery.

First of all, I am in love with sci-fi thrillers and all that dark fantasy stuff is my favorite dish. So, I must say that the main idea of the story is okayish, as it might seem interesting for someone who never saw anything similar before, but I did see this idea play out before plenty of times, so I saw that main twist coming literally from the first moments of the movie (even though I put the movie on randomly and I never read the annotation or watch trailer, I guess the name of the movie was the ultimate precursor to the whole story and gave it away in my case).

I initially liked the atmosphere and the setting, so I thought I'd give it a chance and see it through. As it turned out there is very little emphasis on that throughout the movie which is a bummer. Nature and world were left unexplored (I mean there are some attempts and some views are great, but there is no emphasis or relation to the initial idea, which just makes it obsolete), even though there were plenty of chances and possibilities to do it right, in my humble opinion.

Same thing with the characters. During first few conversations I thought this would be a movie that might do a good job exploring its characters. Yet all the philosophical mightiness was gone in an instant once the introduction phase ended, characters quickly dropped their facade and became irrational, childish and borderline tragically stupid to favor the development of the plot.

We basically end up with no likable characters a viewer could invest their trust in.

Then the pace of the movie. If it was taking advantage of that slow burn, it might've been good. But as I already mentioned, it doesn't happen.

Once again, this might be a mind-blowing sci-fi thriller for someone who has zero to none experience with sci-fi thrillers in their life. But I saw a lot of those and for me this one is predictable, boring and also kind of pretentious. I mean, it's kind of overpromises a lot in the beginning, then rapidly drops the level of consciousness and reasoning to the ground. Ends up being too blunt.

I wanted to enjoy the movie, but I cannot say I did. Unfortunately. An honest attempt though.

I would say this movie was quite well made cinematically. The picture is crisp and beautiful, the colors nicely match the atmosphere and empower it. Unfortunately, crisp picture is not enough to make a good movie, it lacks in other departments.

First of all, even though characters are stylistically solid, their visuals match their identities, the bad guy looks bad, the lead actresses look stunning, the protagonist looks humble, etc. Still, they are lacking any kind of good background, they are not explored well enough to introduce us to feel for them.

The religion theme chosen is just used together with the most basic plot you can come around. It seems like all the story boxes are checked, but those boxes are for the most straight-forward, basic movie, it's not original in any way. And lack of character development does not go well with that.

The horror part is weak. Which is sad, because aside from the good plot, this is also another very important thing for me in a horror movie. There are some scenes of gore, some soft screamers involved, but I would say that overall, its far on mild side for a horror. Unless, maybe, if you are a very religious person, otherwise I don't see how any part of this movie might actually frighten you.

Last thing, I guess, to which all of the other things mentioned contribute, is the overall sense of sterility of the movie. It looks beautiful as I mentioned, yet at the same time it's so clean, crisp, it feels ice cold. It seems just unnatural for a horror movie. Probably scenes just lack in small details that could add to any natural environments. This also applies to characters, which are all so clean to fit the narrative and picture, but it does look unnatural. Once again, they check all the boxes, and that's beautiful, but they fail to display any depth and any originality within it.

I believe, you would best enjoy such movie on a big screen, ideally in a theater of course where you'd be able to catch all the beautiful sides of it.

Clearly it is made by artists who done their job well. Yet I just want to take this moment to mention how important a good writer's job is. As this movie is a good example.

So, there is a huge difference between a regular artist and a good writer. Artists tend to reproduce the already known thing in their own new perspective (which might be beautiful), yet still is much easier to do in comparison with what a great writer should do - come up with a totally new and unseen thing, while making it seem real and plausible all the way through.

It's appalling! Look at all the praise people are giving to this depressive, destructive and malicious thing. I only have one question to all of you people: what have you just watched?

The acting is on point, no doubt about it. Everything a good series should have is there! But the story?! What's is this show about?! Spoiled society of rich people who never worked a day in their life, yet go around entitled like they're the center of the world. They poison anything they touch and feel like they are in the right to do that. And that is your royalty, oh look, the princess is there too! This is disgusting!

Which of the main characters should I sympathize with?! The destructive, cruel, abusive ones or should it be the unreliable, irresponsible, ignorant ones?! Well, the show is clearly trying to make you feel pity for the guy in the title, and I guess people who do feel pity for him are the reason people like him exist in the first place. See you are supposed to condemn violence and destructiveness, not indulge it.

No wonder this story is sort of an autobiography. No good author would make this a story about self-pity of rich royals, unless he expected that pity to befall on himself.

I gave it 7/10. It is well made, but you guys need to really consider what this story is about and who all these characters are.

13 wins and 33 nominations... these rich people are really into themselves, aren't they?!

I would very much like to support any non-Hollywood horror feature. And you can feel it in this movie, it was created by someone who has his own idea about how movies should be made. That I can respect, although on the other hand some takes and ideas here do look amateurish.

I do like that this movie managed to avoid the pretentiousness that is filling up all the Hollywood movies, the characters feel more lively, more realistic.

You can feel ethnic uniqueness in this one, the atmosphere is well developed, and the whole background of a small, country town is well delivered.

Characters are believable and once again more realistic than you would see in Hollywood movies. Yet it feels like they are not explored well, we are not given any real insight in their past, and can only make assumptions.

The pace of the movie feels way too slow, although you might argue that details may hold meaning (yes, there are hints here and there, and they do give clues), it is just hard to watch how they unravel so slowly and then leave so many loose ends.

Scene in this movie feel distant from each other, like they are not creating a good flow for a story, it feels like a mess how some transitions are made.

Horror part is lackluster. It felt a lot like a dark fairytale, like the danger is there, but it doesn't feel imminent.

So overall, this movie has left me unsatisfied. I did find some good parts for myself, and it made me expect it to end up being much better, yet it just falls flat with its crumpled ending.

A great movie.

It really had my attention from the very start until the last moment and it left me wondering. Just the type of movie that I enjoy the most. It was intriguing and it kept me guessing, it was a journey.

I see how some people wouldn't like the experience, you have to have a certain mood to like this one, you have to be ready to dive in. It's not a type of movie you would watch with your friends or even family, I guess. After all, it is about loneliness some might say...

It is mostly grey, calm, monotonous, it demands focus and commitment, it is like a study in a way, and most people, won't find that entertaining.

Now for the good stuff, first of all, how good it was artistically! First it catches your eye with that cold concreate, the office, perfect shapes, yet then you hear the soft voice. And then the room - warm and comfy like the voice, because the voice comes from the room from the very start, doesn't it?! It is perfectly executed visually, I'd say. The atmosphere is on point.

The lead is perfectly executed, as well as the manager, but I do feel like other side characters were a bit lackluster and it could've made it better if they were explored and developed a bit more.

One thing that I noticed is that it might be hard to correctly explore the feelings of the protagonist here, it could be hard to back his decisions, as he doesn't seem to be a good guy overall, being egotistic, narcissistic and self-absorbed as he is. All the other characters seem quite flawed too, although quite more simply displayed. It is almost like they are all a puzzle that might fit together to show a picture, yet not really good on their own.

Apart from the obvious exploration of the psychology it's hard to pin point what this movie is really about. First thing that came to my mind was art. To me the protagonist looked like an artist - he had a vision and a way to execute it, it was genius as it was there in plain sight for him and it had great value, yet no one else could see it, until the fruit of it came out. He wanted the admiration, yet he also wanted to keep the fruit all to himself. Eventually it looks like he just wanted peace of mind and understanding. But then he got tangled in the admiration and fruit, and people wanting the process for their gain and fruit as a simple currency. Eventually understanding became to be not an option, so he resorted to the last thing he got left - himself.

It could also very well be the other way around, since the character is so egoistic, I could assume the whole story is about people being so self-absorbed by their own good work and talent, demanding privacy and comfort, ignoring the fact that being good at certain tasks doesn't automatically allow you to ignore morality and other people and just ignore the society overall, just because you yourself decided that. I mean, it sits well with current state of things in modern world, where people are so obsessed with themselves, like everyone is a star in their own movie, all those social networks, steamers, vlogs, etc. People do seem obsessed with themselves a lot nowadays and they sure do seem to think this makes them entitled to make unreasonable demands. Does it really mean, if you have a talent (or even not), you suddenly become entitled to make unreasonable demands, based on something that is real only for you?!

I mean, as you see this movie brings some thoughts up. I liked it.

First of all, I got to praise the actors, great performance. If it wouldn't be Cage, it probably wouldn't be nearly as good!

Then the neon, the music, the night road trip atmosphere, the initial mystery - this is all good stuff I enjoyed about the movie.

On the other hand, it gets a bit tedious still, as movie is non stop dialogue between two main characters and I was waiting for more mysterious twist, for a deeper hook, a better face off and a heavier outcome... As the eventual twist, it was good enough, I guess, ironical, lives up to the name of the movie. Yet I feel it could've been better, there was a room for better.

Anyhow, overall, I did enjoy the movie.

Its another enjoyable modern Cage flick that has style.

The story and the theme of this movie was solely enough to make it a masterpiece. Truly devilish and scary premise, just knowing this could really be the world we live in is on its own terrifying.

Unfortunately, the execution leaves me wanting for so much more that could've been there instead. It could've been so much better.

I feel like all of it could've just been made differently, less pretentious and more true, less superficial, more blunt, as it should be, considering the theme.

The evil, for example, is portrayed to be undefeatable, yet then we get the ending, and then it kind of crashes the whole initial plot.

Maika is so beautiful, Nikolaj fits great and he is really certainly the best actor in this movie, yet it is not good enough. Characters are just too superficial and undeveloped. Some are eye-catching, but they do lack any build up to them.

All the evil guys, they play crazy quite nice, but this is not how the real evil looks like, is it?! Moreover, there is no uniqueness to them, they are just a bunch of evil guys and that is where the movie leaves it.

All those dialogues feel like they're coming from some anime. They are cool if you look onto them from a certain perspective, but then if you look realistically, artistically, they were just too much and put in the wrong places.

Same with the visuals, the quiet and sad, all among the evil, yet it all doesn't stand out, doesn't support the feel that all of this supposed to give you initially.

The quiet romantical part is sweet, and it is heartwarming, but it's hardly fitting the overall narrative in a way that it has played out.

I just feel like whoever actually made this movie, did a bad job at their job, poor overall decisions were made. It's like this movie is filled with these great cards, but they truly were played bad.

I felt the idea of this movie, the theme is horrifying, yet it lacks in many other parts, unfortunately. I give it 8/10, but it's mostly due to the theme.

This doesn't really succeed in any of the points it is trying to make.

It is not a good drama, because characters are not really explored.

It is not a good horror, because the creators didn't learn properly from 'Descent'.

It's obviously had potential, but eventually fell flat.

Even though creature is explained in bits and pieces, it's not really a good explanation.

The buildup is weak.

Indeed, the whole thing feels a bit pointless.

Overall, the movie is pretty simple and straightforward, in case you wondering to watch it or not, I must say that there are no interesting turns or unexpected occurrences.

I cannot say I enjoyed it. I was waiting for something to happen, waiting for movie to bloom, but it does not live up to any good expectations.

The basics are there, you can watch it before falling asleep, surely, but it won't be a movie to remember.

I liked the movie and I believe it deserves a higher score of at least 6+.

There are a lot of movies being made today and a lot of them have flashy graphics and cool action, but they do miss any serious point fequently.

Well, the good thing about this one is that it has a point and a good one, it's interesting and even thought it has been raised before it still seems to entertain and entagle thoughts, as A. I. future is more close now than ever.

It's not a flashy blockbuster, it is quite slow paced, some character actions are questionable, dialogue is simple, some scenes seem quite cheaply made, yet I did enjoy this movie.

It has some style.

And I liked it's soul.

The movie was engaging for me, it was perfect for my Friday chill night. I did enjoy it.

It is a bit of a slow burn, but the setting is good, the atmosphere is there, the actors performed well.

Overall, a good take on the whole 'stranded at sea' idea with some twists, and raises awareness of climate change.

No horror here, except maybe for the cruelty of life kind one. No sci-fi either, apart from the dystopian future setting.

Some good takes on the idiology and the state of the world, some drama, but not too much.

Yet what I really didn't like is how there are multiple logical plot holes along the way and the main one is in the movie's core, which really ruins the movie for me. My question is: why the heck 'the thing' exists at all and if it does, why is it so unsecured and unreasonably placed? Makes no sense to me at all.

Not sure what exactly, but there is something really good about this movie.

I say that because I have mixed feelings and I am confused about what exactly did I like about it, yet I did like it.

There's bunch of cliches in it, as most modern horrors, and there's the drama that I don't like at all, but nontheless something grabbed my attention. I think it's the mystery part, somehow it feels really good.

Maybe it is because there is no guidence provided, no explanation for the sinister occurance.

I feel like this leaves good potential for a part 2 for this movie, where the curse can be explored better.

And last, but not the least, I liked how mother and daugther characters were written, they seem sensible (unlike the son character) which is rare occurance for a horror movie. Also great performance by Michelle Monaghan.

I get the point of this movie, it's not bad in that sense, as it has one.

Overall it looks quite realistic and you can relate to the characters, they are believable.

There are some quite lengthy parts in this movie that seemingly do nothing.

And the biggest problem is the abrupt ending with no good conclusion other than the obvious.

So what I'd like to say is that you can have all those lengthy parts in the movie, where the character is explored and developed and etc, even if nothing much happens, but it is only reasonable and justifiable if you then have an ending where the character and the whole story blooms and all of this previous stalling now gets a meaning. But there was no such thing in this one.

So there is clearly no reason to stretch this story to 90 minutes. This whole movie could've been 15 minutes long and conceptually it would lose absolutely nothing.

It is evident that whoever made this movie has some nice taste in classic horror and knows well how it should be done, so kudos to the director.

The plot is canonical and straightforward, yet solid and entertaining.

Overall the movie is good in many ways, yet still not so good in others.

The execution is not ideal, though mainly it seems just limited to the budget. I am convinced that this is the main flaw of the movie, I see that it could've benefitted greatly from a higher budget and might've even become a great classic, if it had one.

Atmoshpere created in the movie is good, story develops quickly and nicely, but again, I believe it could've been much better, if creators just had more money to spend on decorations, makeup, camera views, CGi (although I really prefer good old makeup over CGi any day) and etc. It could've been scarier, more grotesque and dark, more malevolent.

Once the beast emerges to our view in the light, movie kind of goes down in scare department, I believe they had to either make it bigger and scarier, or more dreadful to be shown off like that, or just stick to that good old trick of only showing it partially and in the dark, to keep the scare level and hold the imminent threat atmoshere to the maximum until the end.

I guess, introducing some twists and/or complications to the culmination part would also improved the overall moive score for this one in my eyes.

Anyways, my respect to the director, it's a good piece, hope he'll get to make more movies like this and will learn to make them even better. Today's movie industry really needs this.

I must say this movie succeeds massively in a lot of aspects. It feels real, the plotline, the effects, the overall setup and atmosphere are really great. The scenes, the cinematography. There is a lot to praise about this movie and I enjoyed watching it. It surely has some style at the least.

That said, I really wanted to rate it higher, yet there are unfortunately some parts that reduce the overall good score. First of all, the witches just don't really strike me as scary, they don't look scary. Don't get me wrong, I love natural effects, costumes and makeup, and I would any day take it over the CGi, but in this movie they just look a bit lackluster. Realistic, but lackluster. If only they would have a bit more horrifying features in those terror scenes, it would make the whole experience ten time better in my opinion.

One other thing, that I felt was missing was the motivation for the antagonists. You see, there might be some obvious motivation there, yet it hasn't felt explored fully and hasn't felt really justified.

And the last thing that I didn't really like was the ending, it didn't feel like a proper ending, it felt like too many ends were left hanging...

Other than that, it's an overall well-rounded performance, if a sequel is made (which I feel, is a must) this movie might as well take a deserved place among one of the best scary movies about witches.

I couldn't shake the feeling that I saw few movies already with this same premise, but I kind of like it overall, so I didn't consider it to be a drawback.

I liked the secondary characters a lot, this might sound strange, but they were actually quite believable and likeable, they really made up a better part of this movie. While main charactres - not so much, I think the biggest miss was with the main actress. And the clothes that the main guy was wearing - felt like a big miss. And finally the biggest miss - their car, haha, big bummer. Probably sponsored by the manufacturer, that why...

The main antagonist as well, was not ideal I think, first of all, I think he should've been made more subtle, they showed him off too much and most of the time he was just following or watching them, it didn't feel like a haunting and he didn't feel scary or terrifying enough. I think they surely could've done a better job with the makeup for him and maybe something more for the eyes to make him look really sinister. And his car as well - although the car selection might be fine this time, it was still too clean and shiny for the purpose... There were some scenes where you could tell its not a bad movie, because characters were acting more realistic then in the most horror movies I've seen, so that's a plus.

I wish they've spent some time to expose the story behind secondary characters, at least just a big, with some subtle message, instead of all these superficial boring talks that main characters had about their past and planned future.

Overall, it's a so-so movie, if you don't come in with high expectations, you might find it enjoyable eventually. I did.

Just another horror movie with a most basic horror plot known to humanity. Two more millions of these on the way...

The overall scene was okay, although the house didn't seem creepy, I feel like they failed to maintain any horror atmosphere to it.

It's hard to sympathize the main character, as she is basically constantly punishing people around her and herself for something that cannot be undone or fixed. Creating trouble from nothing. Classic silly behavior, inability to just talk stuff out and reason leads to conflict growing unreasonably and alogically. On the other hand, some might say that is probably realistic with her being pregnant and all... still this excuse doesn't make it any better, as the twist is just shallow and weak, and seems forced.

It's not terrible, if you just have nothing to watch at night and you randomly see this coming up on a TV, you might as well see it through, but overall, it's passable and forgettable. Holds no artistic value I dare to say.
