I really enjoy watching horror movies, even when they’re not great, because you either get a good scare or a good laugh. I just like it. So, based on that facet of myself, I decided to watch this movie with my husband. I thought “Hm, this might not be great, but we’ll at least get a laugh!”.
I didn’t laugh, at all. Quite the opposite!
I’m not sure what I think of it as a movie, but it definitely got into my nerves. I jumped a couple of times and was pretty tense for most of it. So, it did a pretty good job for a movie in this genre.
Of course, I found some flaws or weaknesses with it, some more severe than others, such as, for example, the ending to the movie. It was so abrupt, it seemed as if the tape had just ran out or something…
That particular ending probably has a purpose though. However, I can’t quite figure out what it might be. Will we perhaps have a second movie?
Speaking of the things I don’t really understand… Why are horror movies characters, most of the time, pretty dumb? If someone had told you “Something is coming for you, to kill you! Don’t stay in any place with just one way out!”, would you close yourself in your bedroom?! Seriously!
Psychologically speaking, it was a lot better. The way the main character seems to go crazy in a spiral of fear and despair, moving on, at some point, to a certain apathy, as if it didn’t matter anymore. That was spot on. It was the biggest catch of the movie, very realistic, taking you out of breath.
By the end, you’ll probably feel more comfortable with your lights on…
