Absolute nonsense

Rating: 4/10 (25 September 2019)

I don't know what the hell I watched but it wasn't horror. The only horror about it was the absolute lack of sense. What a pity to waste the actors this way. The movie built up this idea of the mother and her side of the family having multiple serious mental illnesses, and through the title of the movie, you expect it to go down that road, but instead it just enters the plane of nonsense with demon worshipping, random decapitation and naked weirdo people. The very 'tragedy' that's supposed to propel the plot onwards was so ridiculously far out and stupid all I could do was gesticulate and repeat wtf at the screen. I mean, first the mom, obviously well knowing her son wants to go to a party to drink, forces his unwilling handicapped(??) highly allergic younger sister with him practically in order to force him to admit it's a party with booze (what a great strategy, mom!), but in his denial brings her with him anyway, both of them (the son and the mother) not thinking twice about making sure the sister brings her epipen, even though the movie already made a deal of underlining how important that was just moments earlier. Then in the brother's teenage rush to go smoke weed with the girl he's infatuated with, he just demands his odd fitting little sister to go eat cake that neither of them bother to consider what contains, her then running to him later with an allergic reaction as if it's her first time (we didn't see that coming..), he hurrying to the hospital in his mom's car while the sister is choking and dangling out the window then trying to avoid random dead dog and bike (???) on the dark road, neatly swaying the car for his sister's head to perfectly smack against the electricity pole on the side of the road, her head splatting off and thus putting herself out of her misery. Jesus effing Christ, I say. You doubled killed her, dude. Darwin award of the year. So in the brother's shock he just drives home in a catatonic state, goes to bed where he does not sleep, waits till his mother finds the decapitated body in the car and goes almost eternally bananas, and so we watch as the family spins out of control while having absolutely zero scenes of confrontation, explanation or anything with the son about the event itself. It's as if they send him straight off to school in his catatonic state as if he had nothing to do with the death in which he sits like a trauma victim that nobody noticed, parents, friends, teachers, nobody. Seriously, did nobody consider giving this guy emergency psychological aid?? What the hell, is all I can say. Then the mother's behavior just goes downhill and she even blames the son and wants him to take responsibility for the accident? Wat. And somehow we get from the poorly cut weirdo material of Darwin award death to decapitated grandma in the attic, demon spirits and devil worship, oh, and naked people. Always with the naked people in horror movies, mind you. Then Charlie (the double dead smacked sister) turns out to be dead headless granny's uhh demon spirit who had a faulty body (allergic? eh) and who has now been transfered to of course the totally well functioning male body with the broken nose who's just thrown himself out of a window from the attic floor. Very well functioning body! Can withstand much smack. I can't even. It was like a horror movie on crack. Also, what's with people never turning on the damn light when all scared in the dark at night, searching their damn house in full on darkness, or how about never calling the police, even when they are all alerted to miss headless granny rotting upstairs for no explicable reason? Aaah, there was no sense to this, and I fear for people's healthy skepticism that this movie has been this highly rated. Ugh. Okay, I'll stop rambling now.
