Disappointed at the god awful turn the horror genre has taken since I'm not a fan of the cheap and stupid gore/possessed killer doll/possession/ghosts/documentary style trends that have been giving the genre a really bad name for a while now,I've been waiting very long to see an actual horror film that at least would be worth the price of admission.
So,a lot of my friends actually highly recommended this film to me and even told me that this was the best horror film in years and praised it for it's originality and even compared it to the works of some of my favorite directors like John Carpenter,David Lynch,Adrian Lyne,Herk Harvey and David Cronenberg (which I started having very high doubts about after watching the trailer),but since it was praised as being unique and original,and since I'm a big fan of independent horror films I decided to go see it not knowing I was going to make a terrible mistake by wasting my money and an hour and 40 minutes of my life I could have spent doing something worth my time.Instead of a good independent horror film,what I got was an incredibly boring steaming pile of hipster indie garbage and in no way showed any resemblance to the works of the amazing directors that this trash is being compared to,plus the plot made absolutely no sense at all and it had tons of holes in it,the source and history of the haunting is never discussed,all you know is that the guy who gives this "ghost STD" to the main character had it and passed it on to her,never know who gave it to him or where it came from,and after the guy knocks her out with chloroform,ties her to a chair and leaves her half naked in front of her house,still the police doesn't do anything and she doesn't press charges LOL,at some point they decide to go visit the guy and ask him who infected him,but when they get there,all they do is sit around and the guy keeps avoiding answering how he got it and all he does is repeat "you have to pass it on to someone else" and then the search for the source of the haunting is completely abandoned afterwards,also the film opens with some girl running from her house,then driving away to the beach,calls her parents to say she loves them and then it's morning and she's all butchered and it doesn't say who she is,where did she get the curse from and if she has any relation to any of the character,then at the end after Jay and Paul have sex,you see Paul driving in his car looking for prostitutes and then in the next scene you see Jay and Paul walking together holding hands while some guy (supposedly the evil entity) still follows them,does it mean that Paul passed the curse on to a hooker and it's still following Jay anyway because she didn't completely get rid of the curse or did Paul chicken out about screwing a hooker so it's only following him or they both passed the curse but it's still following them ?...this film was a complete mind-rape,and not in an amazing psychological horror/thriller with a great story and an awesome twist ending good mind-rape,I mean in a "I'm completely lost,WTF did I just watch" mind-rape.
I honestly don't understand the big hype this film has,and I just can't believe believe my eyes seeing how many people are calling it the best horror film in over a decade,a masterpiece and an instant classic LOL,are you kidding me???,not only it's the farthest thing from,but this is so bad that it makes pathetic,dull crap like À l'intérieur (Inside) look like Repulsion,and it has been given a totally unfair much higher rating than it actually deserves,also there's absolutely nothing scary or disturbing about this trash,not even for the easily startled,and it's neither original or unique in the least,the sexually transmitted horror has been done to death,the director just made another They Came from Within/Shivers only replacing the "story" with The Ring/Final Destination's story,I just don't understand why people are hailing this as some refreshing break from the slasher gorefest slashers that have been plaguing the horror genre,well,hipster indie caca with nonsense "plots" full of holes,idiotic teen dialogue and laughably bad acting like this are plaguing the horror genre and cinema in general just as much as the hack and slash,there's absolutely no difference,just because a film doesn't have a lot of gory scenes doesn't make it an improvement when the story is cut in half and you don't know what the hell you're watching and the scares a very weak and unoriginal,also the score is also regarded as "haunting and original,but it's just a ripoff of almost every 80s horror film's score ever made,far from original and scary when it's been heard over a thousand times before,and the low budget is not an excuse for this,I've seen many old and new independent horror films with very low budget and they still achieved their goal perfectly,just as long as the story,acting,script,music,light and cinematography in general are solid, and the techniques and ideas are original and properly put together,that's what makes the film work regardless of it's budget.This is what marketing does,they polish a turd and make it look like it's the next Suspiria with a tempting trailer and critic reviews,and the hipsters and fools who can't tell the difference between an genuinely good horror film and a dumpster bin.
it's simple,if you want to see another sequel of The Ring/Final Destination franchise but with a penis and a vagina spreading the curse instead,then this is for you,others looking for good horror or thriller with a good plot instead of a terribly dull hipster teen flick with the typical idiotic adolescent script,look elsewhere
