Could've been better

Rating: 6/10 (9 April 2018)

Firstly, this was a dumb movie to pick for a popcorn dinner but to my credit, I was determined to go in blind.
Premise was good! Acting by Blunt was great! Characterisation was okay (no back stories. You're dropped in and then airlifted out). Treatment was lacking. This could've been much scarier (I was not scared), the survival of the characters was favoured by the writing in an obvious way, so for me it was more of a drama/thriller. For me a truly scary movie needs to be entirely unpredictable, you have to feel that no character is safe from the axe. The weakness of the beasts was revealed way too early and made it known that the characters were mostly safe.
Ending was terrible. Such a lame ending required a much greater emotional overhaul throughout. I was actually disappointed that so many characters survived.
Still, it was somewhat tense, and while I could see where it was going, I was curious to see how it went.
Recommend to watch this alone at 1am after a smoke for best enjoyment.
