so in response to the bad reviews, i will copy one which a lot of people agree with (also i fixed their grammar up a bit) and tear it to shreds because this movie is amazing, watch it and ignore the lower ratings, although if psychological horrors aren't your thing idk go watch whatever else there is because the movie has a lot of good shock value, tension and thrilling moments
- the film is much too long, instead of going on for 2h 20 min, the story could be told in 1hour. Anything more than that amounts to torture for the viewers ;
the fact that it is too long is for the psychological horror of the slow death to kick in, kind of like a game of monopoly when you know you're losing
- the plot seems pointless and the story is soooo predictable that is laughable;
I mean the plot is actually amazing I don't know wth you are talking about, and the predictableness is yet again part of it, you know what's going to happen but you don't know when or how, kind of like if someone told you they are going to brutally take your life in the near future
- the characters are not likable - it is difficult to enjoy the film if you can not feel/identify/sympathize with main characters;
that is the point, you aren't supposed to like the characters
- most of us are fans of the leading actors and director and decided to see the film after we saw a trailer, which was very cleverly edited and therefore entirely misleading;
would you rather the trailer told you the entirety of the movie to you?
you just complained that it was too predictable but you want a trailer to tell you exactly how it goes?
This is, quite honestly, the saddest most depressing film I've ever seen.
...... do i even need to explain how hard you missed the point?
it feels like you were actuvely TRYING to miss it
