So much potential, but it misses the mark

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2019)

This honestly started out as being one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. But they missed the mark with the ending. When the mom asked her husband to burn the book, I imagined her flailing about like she was fighting an invisible fire, and that's when the auidence would've gone "whoa, she was actually insane." The son could've been imagining everything too. Instead we got a B-movie version of Rosemary's Baby that felt totally off. Major props to Toni Collete, though. I have yet to see her acting not blow me away. Her grieving scenes were incredibly had to watch as a mother.
