Mary Elizabeth Winstead is phenomenal. Incredible. Genuinely great actress. Why did she agree to this film? The movie is an unevenly paced, amateurish film that wastes great talent and forces the audience to suffer for no reason. The positive reviews are puzzling to me. This film doesn't qualify as horror nor is the movie suspenseful. It's maddeningly predictable from the first half hour forward. There were no surprises, no twists - just a painfully slow crawl to the finish line.

People that rated this movie above 5 stars are clearly seeing a different film. Faults is not really a four star film, but the cast deserve it for their efforts. The director and writers clearly didn't care about their audience enough to earn a remotely positive review.

The writing presents a thought-provoking exploration of control, manipulation, power dynamics, utilizing discourses related to various cults and their disruptive ideologies as the foundational elements of the narrative.

However, these themes lacked substantial elaboration and fail to exhibit significant merit.

While dark comedic elements are effective, to an extent, the overall storyline heavily relies on the ensemble's peculiar, almost absurdist acts, particularly that of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Leland Orser's.

Their parts as Claire and Ansel played out interestingly; and I do think that without them, the film would have struggled really hard to maintain my attention as well as my interest.
