Spolers ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I loved this movie up until the point that Becky was dead because she didn't actually grab the bag when she fell. After the scene where you find out the truth about what actually happened the movie lost all thrill for me. Having a character do something anxiety inducing for the viewer and then getting hurt doing it and then coming out on top with said injuries. Just to find out a few scenes later that she never did it and actually died is bad writing in my opinion. If she had survived like the movie showed in the first place I think it would have made for a much better story. The whole doubling back on yourself that movies do way too often makes movies like this that have soo much potential mediocre. Also the whole idea of using her friends half eaten corpse as padding to keep the phone from being destroyed was laughably bad in my opinion lmao. Like wow I really think that the writers could have come up with something better than that. That is my reason for the 3 stars but still a good movie and would recommend as a movie to watch when bored.

I'm pretty sure all of these reviews about the show being "Similar" to the books are posted by bots lol. But before I start my review know that this is my personal opinion. Almost the only thing this show and the books have in common is character names and the title. It does have really good actors in it however so I decided to give it two stars instead of one. But my advice to anybody who is interested in the story is this, either read the books or watch the show, but do not do both. Because in my personal experience you will be disappointed. The people who created this show added a ton of things to it that have absolutely nothing to do with the real story that happened in the books. Events happen very differently people are in places where they should not be. Things happen that never happened before. Lore is told in a different way than it should be told. People are capable of things that they shouldn't be capable of. People behave in ways that they shouldn't. Characters that aren't actually in the story are magically here. I didn't put a lot of hope into this show to begin with after hearing about its production, and I'm glad that I didn't because it was worse than I thought it was going to be. If they make a second season hopefully they do better with that one and hopefully the creators read the whole story instead of the back cover of the book.
