This isn't as good as everyone says...

Rating: 2/10 (23 December 2017)

I've seen the trailer and I had a pretty good idea what it was about. However, I did not expect the theme of it to be so bombarded with stereotypes you can't get away from them for one second! Right from the beginning a black photographer is questioned by the police while driving to meet his white girlfriend's family. And if his unfunny friend who believes all the racism garbage wasn't bad enough, the white girlfriend's whole family act strange to the photographer as if they've never interacted with blacks before. I understand the hate that still goes on in some places, but you really should try to make the haters less obvious if you want more mystery in the story. Any viewer can tell the protagonist is in serious danger and even he knows it to the point he can't believe anyone around him. Despite being able to sit through all this what really killed the whole movie for me was the plot twist; it is so STUPID, so UNREAL, so INSULTING, I might never watch this movie again! I won't spoil it but its about as imaginative as M. Night Shamalyn's movies.
There is one thing I enjoyed about this movie though: the hypnosis scene. The main actor may have starred in a fake horror movie but I do believe he's got talent. Watching him trapped in a chair being forced to relive a bad childhood memory managed to get me to feel empathy for his character (not to the mention his tortured face). I pray somehow he'll get a chance to be in a better movie where he can give us more of that feeling.
