Ok so, I don't think this was nearly as unsuccessful as a whole as a lot of the reviews are claiming... however their reasoning is accurate.
This is an amalgamation of many horror movies you have already seen, so nothing original. It was a little too long and was almost on the verge of being too slow but I personally was entertained and it kept my attention enough.
I found the mother character irritating but damn did that actress do a good job. People get those two confused a lot. The character annoyed me but that actress killed it, there's a difference lol great job. All other performances were fine.
I was confused by the poor reviews until about the third act when I felt that it went down hill. It started to feel repetitive and labored. I started to feel particularly displeased when the exposition was in the form of a spoon fed monologue/ montage. I mean, how lame right? Lol
Although this was nothing particularly original and slightly derivative I think that it was still moderately successful in its own right. While I was displeased with some major things, I was still pretty entertained for the majority. I was thinking 6 or maybe even 7 depending on the ending until the last chunk and knocked it down to a 5.5 but I'll give it a 6 for the leads performance. I would casually recommend, if you don't have something else in cue lol.
