Acting wasn't the best, but disturbing nonetheless

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2018)

When this movie came out, a friend told me that she had already seen it and that it was a total piece of crap, which is something that I couldn't believe at all as it has really good ratings by critics and the people too (probably one of the best grades I've seen in a 21st century horror movie). So, I went to see it for finding out which was the damn reality about this movie and why there was a huge amount of people that saw this as a nightmarish masterpiece and some other guys that thought this was garbage.
And the truth is that it is neither one thing or the other. It is complex, nightmarish and highly disturbing to watch, mostly at the end, and it has sort of an old fashioned style comparable to horror cult classics like 'Rosemary's Baby'. But still, it is no masterpiece.
First of all, I had a very big trouble with the acting. In my opinion, it was really exagerated at lots of scenes, particularily Toni Collette and sometimes Alex Wolff too. Probably it Is because their direction wasn't the best or because there were dialogues of the script that weren't helpful, or they just didn't made a great acting job that this movie needed to have.
Still, I recommend this movie because of the creepy soundtrack, the very good and faded photography and its really horrifying atmosphere and feeling that leaves you when the credits start rolling. If you like to feel frightened by a movie at the cinema, this is it. Just don't expect Oscar worthy performances from it.
Thanks for reading!
