If you are a TRUE horror film fan who loves the suspense and thrill of a really good scare…this is NOT for you. My sister came bouncing into my room and told me we have to watch this new horror film that just came out this year. Of course we were excited, we are horror film nerds and love the classics and the new stuff. And right off the bat we just knew it was gonna be a bad one strictly from the acting alone. I felt like this movie should be labeled as “comedy with a slightly suspenseful tone here and there”. Nothing made sense until the last 25 minutes, and the whole thing just dragged on for 2 hours. We found ourselves laughing out loud at most everything, the awkwardly placed dramatic music that didn’t fit the vibe of the room, the weird zoom in on everyone, for some reason everyone was like out of breath the whole time and gasping, the mother who had absolutely no purpose other than falling from the ceiling, and the annoying sister who kept stroking Emily’s hair. Overall, absolutely not impressed and makes me never want to watch a Wan film again.
P.s. I’ve literally never written a google review before, but I felt THIS needed to be addressed for those who do not want to waste their time. Trust me honey, go watch The Conjuring or something instead.
