It's not the worst or even among the 50 worst thriller/sci-fi movies you've seen. If you watch a lot of them on Netflix, by no-name directors, it's not even one of the fifty worst ones you've seen this year. It's not even the worst M. Night Shamalamadingdong I've seen (that would be Lady in the Water, thought I've never seen Airbender). It's watchable, short, has a few scary moments, and a thought provoking central idea (plants actually DO release chemicals that affect animal behavior, and presumably plants have evolved this ability as a defense mechanism). This movie is basically like one of those nature-run-amok made for TV movies from the '70s. The only reason I can fathom for the hatred this film gets is that people expected more from the director and star.
How many movies do we need, with the 'only in a movie' plot of some poor dumb schmuck ALLOWING himself to be subjected to endless UNCONVINCING mind games throughout? The viewer is set up with the idea that the schmuck is going to learn some valuable lesson by the time it's through. But he's a non-existent movie stock character: anyone in real life would catch on that they're being gulled and would yell "you can all go f____ yourselves" and storm out, but this is the character who never does. I did, about 45 minutes in. Anyone want to post a spoiler and tell me if the lesson he learns is how to do that?
