Dull and Overrated

Rating: 3/10 (31 July 2019)

I finally got around to watching this, after hearing only good things my expectations were high. The guy I watched it with fell asleep.
He had the right idea. This was just an overwrought mess of a movie.
The pacing was bad. Slow with little pay off. The tone is all over the place, the comedic parts not funny and shouldn't even be in the movie.
Worst of all for this genre: It's not scary.
Maybe not being American is part of it. Then again, if this was a good horror film that shouldn't be that important. Social commentary can be in a horror movie but in this case the lack of subtlety kept taking me out of the experience.
Being boring is the cardinal sin of horror movies, for that alone I do not recommend. The ominous parts before the plot takes off and some good performances is the only reason I give it 3/10.
