Brian Jones

This film does not know whether to be a horror movie or psychological thriller. Some good visual and sound effects, let down by a hazy and unbelievable satanic concept with weird characters having no impact on the plot, OTT acting by Cage, and key objects and codes being unexplained. Jump scares and some brooding atmosphere early on, but last act lurched from unlikely to unbelievable to disappointment.

An amazing horror film with genuine tension and fear throughout, with no supernatural elements required. Sydney is an amazing lead, on a journey from innocence wherever it leads. A bloody angry story, with maybe too much obvious malevolence and brutality from the ad guys to leave you in any doubt about their motives. Grips and doesn't let go until the final scene.

Well, I wasn't expecting it to live up to the Christopher Nolan trilogy, and that is certainly the case. Not so much the actual characters, but poor cinematography choices throughout. The appearance of the batmobile was too focused on the drivers rather than the cars, and I got bored. 3 hrs is too long and the soundtrack was more a GCSE students version of scary music rather than exciting or thrilling superhero. Too few confrontations between Batman and antagonists to make the drama flow, and the unnecessary detail in the 'phone call' tipped the film towards a torture flick. A wasted opportunity, glad my family didn't come with me.
