I am probably going to sound rude or egocentric but I keep seeing the same complains on this movie and I wanted to give my opinion and shine some positive light on this movie.I really liked this movie, you could call it more of thriller movie, it is more on "The witch", "the ritual", "hereditary" side of the road so that means that it sets the tone on the atmosphere, this movie does not rely 100% on supernatural events, it makes you fear the people more than the "unknown". People criticized the protagonist for being "useless", please keep in mind it's a horror (thriller) movie. If you want to watch a dude with fighting skills and is a professional at "rescuing" go watch an action movie, wanna watch character development ? Go watch a drama movie; a protagonist with none of those traits make him/her more organic to be honest, most of us don't even know how to fight, so why should he? Most of us don't develop our personality or change in just a week or two, it takes months or even years, especially when we are under stress, so why should he? He is already troubled and prob suffers PTSD and yet he has to face dangers he was not ready for, dangers that no one is ready for. If you still disagree with the plot remember this is a horror movie, the whole point is to make you feel uncomfortable, curious, and intrigued, horror movies shouldn't always be there to give answers, but more to make you question, that is the point of fearing the unknown.
ย In conclusion, want to watch a different type of horror movie that makes you want to understand more about the world it is set on, or something that is not so predictable? This is for you. It is worth giving it a chance.ย :)ย
Again I am sorry if I sound arrogant but It makes me sad that people do not want to give this types of movies a chance because they are different and do not fall under the category of every horror movie made with jump scares and supernatural forces.
