Excellent horror movie. It has everything, the suspense, the scares, the atmosphere, some gore, a good story and the moral or social commentary if you will. It's amazing what they've been able to do with so few actors.
I don't want to reveal anything specific and ruin it for you, but you should be able to understand the title of my comment by the end of the movie.
I don't get all the negative comments. I have been watching and enjoying horror movies for 30+ years, I know a good one when I see it.
I highly recommend this one.
First of all, this is not a "horror" movie, more like a horrible movie. What can I say? There's nothing scary about it. Secondly, hasn't enough been said already about this female empowerment/emancipation etc. ? If there remains anything to be said, this movie certainly did not add anything new.
The pace was slow and the whole thing was kind of predictable from the get go. It succeeds in creating a certain atmosphere that reminded me of The Witch, which in my opinion also dealt with issues of femininity, but at least was SCARY.
I give it a 5 for perfectly ambivalent.
Do you like political talking points mixed in with your entertainment? Do you wish you could enjoy Thanksgiving dinner arguments in all your holidays and vacations? Do you enjoy the cleansing experience of a thorough brainwash? Then this is a MUST SEE for you!
As for me, I was tempted to stop watching 5 minutes into the thing, the only thing that kept me going through it is to gather material for an IMDB review. Not only does it come across as a propaganda piece, the "action" is bad with an unfit lead and laughable special effects.
I give this a 3 because although I was not entertained at all by the movie itself, I STILL RECOMMEND IT if only as a curiosity and as testament to the paranoid, fake-news mentality.
