Great idea- poor ending
2 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
As a horror movie fan, and film school graduate, Im very forgiving of horror movies. I know how hard it is to come up with a new idea, something that isnt over played. The beginning starts out strong, its watchable, interesting, good premise. Good acting, and it all just falls apart at the end. All of it, even the acting. The last scene, Amanda Seyfried looks at her husband and just nods 'ok' when he says he has to stay. No questions, no fight, no anything. Even his daughter just looks down. Im sorry, but if my husband told me he just killed someone and was staying in some hell house, id have a lot more reaction. That aside, it could have been a really great movie, but the ending just killed it. It fell apart so fast, I was shocked. As soon as they start walking outside, it becomes a illogical mess. Is it worth a watch? yes. It's better than most junk these days. Does it deserve an award? no way. Will I watch it again? No. I feel like had more effort been devoted to the last quarter, it could have been a great movie. It's an original idea, great actors and unfortunately had bad last half screen writing.
