Mediocre at best

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2019)

Looking at these reviews from others I wonder if we watched the same movie. This movie was ok; nothing more, nothing less.
Patrick Stewart's role really wasn't anything major and it wasn't some spectacular performance. I don't understand why people talk about it like a selling point. He wasn't developed at all and was a pretty boring antagonist truthfully.
All of the characters are completely flat and there is virtually no development. We have no reason to care for them. I realized that we really weren't going to get any development after about 15 minutes and thought that maybe there would be some cool deaths for them since that must have been the only reason why they were taking up screentime. I was wrong.
The gore in this movie is honestly average for a rated R movie. Nothing is groundbreaking here. It's certainly not like Saw. Countless movies have more gore and do it better than this movie. Again, I don't understand people talking about how this is a gory movie. It's not. Every time you think you're going to see a really gory sequence, the camera cuts away and you wind up seeing nothing that wouldn't be able to air on cable for an R rated movie. It's stupid and frustrating for the viewer. Another problem is that most of the gore will also be shrouded in darkness, so you can't see anything.
This movie has virtually no tension. It attempts to build it in some places, quickly to be destroyed. As a thriller, I expected psychological challenges and that style of horror, which would have made a supremely better film. Alas, it didn't and this movie merely exists.
All in all: very average and mediocre in every aspect.
