Obvious but Okay

Rating: 6/10 (22 February 2019)

During the movie i enjoyed it just about the whole time but there was some things that did not feel as polished as it could and should have been. One of these things are the 2 time frames. Why this bothered me was because they kept switching back and forth, and if you thought about it you can realize that everyone is going to die. That is why the deaths in this movie (with the exception of Jessica) did not affect me as much as they could have if they came to me as a surprise. Another thing that I did not enjoy was the characters. Now yes I did enjoy some but most made awful decisions (typical horror movie decisions) The only people i liked was Greg, Malorie, Charlie, Cheryl, Tom, Douglas, and Jessica. Boy and Girl were not the best actors but i don't expect much from little kids. Some things did not feel finished in this movie. When Gary had the black paintings i felt two things; 1. I was disappointed that they did not keep what they looked like a mystery. ( Yes I know it wasn't exactly what they looked like but i liked the mystery) and 2. They did nothing else with the paintings, you saw them a couple of times and then nothing really was done with them. The last thing i will bring up before we go to why I enjoyed it is this. How in the world did they make a school for the blind next the a dangerous river, and in the forest? I get that it is for effect but that is very unrealistic. Now, on to why I enjoyed it. I enjoyed this for multiple reasons. One was because it was not a original plot but they made it original in its own way. They also had some good actors/actresses. ( Like i said i did not like some of the acting or the characters but i liked most). The most thing i enjoyed about the whole movie was that at the end it felt more of a family movie. I don't know. i liked that.
