Avoid this pretentious, godawful abortion of a horror movie.

Rating: 1/10 (11 October 2015)

I went into this movie excited to be scared. My roommate and his girlfriend had gone to see it and told me it was genuinely scary; the critics were raving about its originality, and I was ready for a tense, edgy, chilling experience.
What a sloppy, stupid, pretentious mess this movie was. What a waste of my time, my money and my life this movie was. Ignore the people saying that it's getting bad reviews only because it didn't have gore, explosions or jump scares; it's getting bad reviews because it barely qualifies as a movie it's so listless and insipid.
I'm sure by now the trailer's gotten around, so saying it's about a girl essentially "catching" a ghostly STD doesn't really count as a spoiler; I hope it also doesn't count as a spoiler to announce on here that that's it. That's all it's about. There is not character arc, there is no story, nothing. The characters are given absolutely no background aside from "sister," "friend," "male friend" and "neighbor." They mumble their dialogue, maybe to try to make it seem more important, or maybe because they're just terrible actors, either way it doesn't matter, this movie could have literally been shot with mannequins for how stiff the acting is.
But let me come to the biggest disappointment in a movie that is composed entirely of disappointment and failure: this movie is simply not scary. Not at all. Not in the least. It has the atmosphere of a godawful indie movie, which is too bad, because the premise of a following curse that you can't get rid of could have actually been extremely creepy and unsettling. Instead, I can count the creepy moments on one hand while I light a cigarette.
To sum up in tl;dr form: No story Bad acting Bad writing Waste of a great premise Waste of time Waste of money Avoid at all costs
