disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (18 April 2015)

This one of those movies you see that you neither really like or hate. It has all the elements that make a scary movie, but it's just plain not scary. The acting was fine, cinematography and soundtrack were average at best. But there is a distinct lack of tension, and the pursuit scenes were unimaginative and repetitive. The monster shows up, chases the heroine, the heroine runs away, then spends 15 minutes talking with her friends about what's going on. Repeat this four or five times and you have this movie. One issue I had was how the man who gave the heroine the curse, seems to know all the rules, but doesn't explain how he knows them. I don't need to have everything explained to me, but this was confusing. A good idea, imaginative, but just so flat that there is no tension.
