What in the world????!!!!

Rating: 3/10 (11 January 2019)

I don't even know what I watched just now. It seemed like this was the slowest movie ever. Some parts were so slow that towards the end I got to thinking "Ok apparently the director just ran out of ideas and decided to drag each scene out way longer than necessary." Thanks for not trying and for wasting our time.
A few thoughts...
Alex Wolff did not look like the rest of the family. Not sure why they couldn't find an actor who would have looked more like them. Also I can't tell if he's a good actor or not. The whole movie he was literally acting like he was stoned. Standing around with your mouth open does not a good actor make. Plus I know it's nitpicky but why with the mole? Just WHY?! Those things can be removed so it's beyond me why anyone would keep that on their face. It's all you can see when you look at him.
Gabriel Byrne was so wasted in this. Why did they even bother with him or a Dad character at all if he was gonna be so minimal?! It was seriously like he wasn't there at all. Plus he looked like Toni Colette's Dad! They had zero chemistry. The age gap-what was that all about?
The movie was so dark. I kept checking my screen to make sure it wasn't on nightlight or that I had accidentally turned it down.
Toni Collette is usually a sure thing in every role she takes but this I felt was not her best work. I don't know why but it seemed like she didn't know how to do the scene with Gabriel Byrne at the fireplace. It was very awkward. She mostly just stood around with her mouth open.
Milly Shapiro-is there something very wrong with her or did they go to extra lengths to make her look like a hobgoblin? I don't want to make fun of a little girl BUT I mean...what is going on with her? She was in this movie for a cup of coffee and that was it. Pointless.
The whole family was a bunch of sadsacks. This movie wasn't scary - it was depressing watching them be so dysfunctional and bizarre and that was BEFORE everything went down. What a bunch of weirdos. They had absolutely nothing redeeming about them.
Why would you make your teenage son take his sister to a party? Why didn't they make sure she wouldn't eat anything that would cause her throat to close while they were there? The mom just sends her off with the brother without any reminders about that.
Why did the brother just go to bed instead of calling the police or his parents when Charlie's head came off?!
What in the world was that stuff that Toni Colette was working on? It looked like she was working on something personal and also something for another art exhibit. That made no sense and was super creepy. Why was the grandmother just seen in photos? Why didn't they have flashbacks that showed her to make this more real. We don't know anything about these people therefore I didn't care when any of them died.
I'm very disappointed that I wasted my time with this because I had heard it was terrifying and it was anything but! The ending?! I was laughing! It just went completely off the rails and made no sense. I don't even think I could begin to understand what this movie was about even if it was broken down in a very detailed description.
Well...cluck cluck. I'm off to try to find something that is actually scary and not just plain DUMB.
