A generic horror film with a mediocre script... A classic.
Very few things to stand out. In fact, you can count them with one hand. In fact, you can count it with less than 5 fingers. In fact...
This movie has a pretty solid start that sets up the atmosphere really well. It knows how to introduce all the characters naturally, setting the function of each one of them, as it's revealed that one is an imposter that potentially is going to eliminate the rest. This, added to the fact that the characters are all the charismatic you would expect from an horror film like this, makes good way to go for the movie. Except.... They already resolved that in the trailer.
A lot of people is complaining about this, and I agree, but the structure itself of the movie wasn't enought for much more. If the trailer didn't show that plot... well, then there is no trailer.
From the start, this should've been done in a different way. So, from now on, we already now the first half of the movie, and I don't say that this makes the experience of the spectator bad automatically, but, I mean, there's so much wasted potential.
The other half doesn't compensate thought. All the side characters die and the main are the only left with Abigail. I skip to this point because the small chases and fights are pretty much worthless and I feel like they didn't know what to do with the movie. They obviously wanted Abigail and the main character as a team. If you have seen the movie (or the trailer) you know that this is the only logic solution for the plot here.
And to get that, oh boy, to get that they go ahead and execute the greatest and besttest decision of their career: make the other character a villain out of nowhere in the last 20 minutes. Yes, he didn't like the main, and that rivalry is one of the things that the movie does well, but turning him into the villain to substitute Abigail is a whole other level.
The ending is as generic as the deaths all through the movie. I feel like this could've been so much better, but SO much. It's entertaining after all, but I can't be satisfied with that. This is a perfect example of wasted potential. - alishacuthbert - 17 June 2024
Not worth watching if you spend a lot for this
This movie is ok. But not a great one. So if you watch using pirates sites or telegram. Then alright. Otherwise if you have to spend a lot of money to stream online. Do not watch this is not worth watching like that.
