Started Off Great

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2019)

This movie captured my interest from the start. It had a dark look and moved right along. The villains as well as the protagonists were very unique and believable. But as the movie progressed, it lost its pace and dragged on. It became less interesting, hard to understand at times, and also very gross. As I mentioned, this movie has a dark look - so dark that it was sometimes hard to see the characters's faces. There was no contrast to this darkness and it became a bit too much. The story ended decently and it definitely fits in with modern day thrillers/horror movies. I'm almost surprised that Blumhouse didn't produce it - that's the kind of picture it was. If you like those kinds of movies, you'll like this. From my perspective, this was a movie that had so much potential early on that I was disappointed that it didn't turn out better.
