Totally Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2019)

I was one of the last people on earth to see this movie. I heard all the hype and actually felt cheated that I hadn't seen it. I bought this for $5 at Walmart and rushed home to watch it. It was good, but definitely NOT Oscar worthy! The last 20 min of the film was just like any other horror movie of the past 20 years. Up until then I was really anxious to see what was really going on. Then I was truly disappointed when it turned into an R rated slasher flick with a totally unbelievable pretext. Hollywood must have been feeling guilty about the lack of diversity in its nominees the previous year, and tried to make up for it by nominating this, doing a great disservice to the real quality minority films out that year. Black Panther it ain't! Truth is I wasn't really cheated until I paid $5. Will be in this year's yard sale.
