Utterly Mediocre

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2019)

I watched this movie with friends on a home screen, and yes, it was definitely enjoyable, the casting and acting were nice and the writing was okay plus, but it was not at all scary. In fact, the scariest scene in the entire movie might be Beverly's abusive dad chasing her and trying to hurt her. You know a supernatural horror movie isn't doing a great job when the scariest part has a human villain. Actually, more than scary, it was gory and bloody.
I am currently reading the book and it is way better than the film, it's scarier, written better, the characters are more human, round and relatable and it's got a feel I honestly don't think any cast, writer, producer or director could ever capture.
Overall, it's not a must-watch and I don't warmly recommend it. Watch it if you want to, don't watch if you don't. It's not a classic and it's definitely not awful. It's just fine, utterly mediocre.
