Pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2018)

I notice a lot of over the top negative reviews. A few seem to be regarding the ending, some seem to be regarding the acting or believability of some of the events that occur or reactions of characters, to some of those events. I think people tend to leave reviews ir comments more often when they're angry than when they're satisfied. I digress.
I thought it was great. I guess it comes to expectations. I expected a lot less fear and frightening scenes, as that seems to be the trend these days with the new "scariest movie to date". ***SPOLIERS***
I was expecting no supernatural events yet there were and I thought they were done very well. There were a few scenes where I almost cried because I really felt for Toni Collete's character and her behaviour quite drove it home. There were a few scenes where I was just gaping in awe or horror and I think if a movie can provoke that response out of me, then it at least deserves a but of praise on that part. I felt the movie built up at a slow pace but it worked and the scares got more frequent and intense.
If I had to complain it would be about the ending, maybe over done or over reached but at least it felt a little different. It's always hard to end a movie like that so I don't know which direction I would have gone otherwise.
