Not mindless entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2015)

I came into this movie very neutral as I just heard a friend talk about it and decided to look into it since I am a huge fan of the horror genre. The first thing I want to address is the amount of negative reviews here. It seems most of these reviews are written by people that don't want to think about things or are really into the current trend of horror which is gore/slasher. (Which is totally acceptable)
If you're okay with not having to know every single little detail about something then this movie will be just fine for you. If you don't particularly care about blood and gore this movie will be just fine for you. If you're the kind of person who likes to just sit back, "turn off" your mind and enjoy a film, this movie is NOT for you. You need to let yourself think about the characters and the plot. Don't come in with expectations, (as you should do with all movies) good or bad. This movie wasn't the most horrifying but I did think it was exciting. I love when I, the viewer, get to make the connections and look for every small detail in every scene and connect the dots to form a better picture of what's going on. This movie is filled with symbolism and it's not always easy to pick up on but it is rewarding when you find out what certain things in the movie represent or foreshadow.
If you enjoy being interactive with what you're watching then I definitely recommend this movie to you. Don't let hastily written negative reviews stop you from seeing this movie if you have the time to spare and if anything I've written about it interests you.
