Yawn... Another So-So "Thriller"

Rating: 3/10 (16 September 2016)

I never found myself invested in this movie. They started to lead up to things, but then dropped the ball, repeatedly. A million tiny "plots" about tragedies and suicides and the like, but none were ever explored beyond a two second flash. Cusack's acting was mediocre: His character somehow went from a cynical, non-believing "ghost buster" to a whimpering, seemingly LSD-tripping idiot in the course of an hour while coming to grips with his daughter's death. And he certainly didn't try too hard to get out of the "evil room" beyond pounding on the door and yelling out a window. I found nothing scary about the movie, so I don't think it can be called Horror. There certainly wasn't much Drama. There's no real reconciliation with his wife = not a Romance. Not much left; just a few cgi effects that were more Twilight Zone-ish (from the 70's version, that is) than anything else. About the only redeeming feature I found was Samuel Jackon's acting. All in all: Not much character development, not much in the way of a real plot, writing that went in way too many directions, a weak main character... don't bother.
