Story, depth and scare factor replaced with boring special effects

Rating: 5/10 (7 September 2019)

I'm sad and disappointed. Sequel or not.. the director and probably the producer(s) relied way too much on special effects.
With this budget and the level of actors to work with and a genius storyline.. how do you cop out and rely on effects?
If you remove the typical blood filling bathroom, buried in dirt, oversized 'monsters' attacking each character one by one... each expected next scene was more over the top than the last.
It isn't that the movie is too long that's the problem.. it's that the director didn't use the time wisely.
The opportunities for real deep scares were ignored for the ridiculous disembodied head that became a large spider with legs... its too much of a not good thing.
The folks who financed this movie really lost a lot of money wasted on special effects that weren't good enough to remember and were over the top so much.. the story was lost :(.
