A breath of fresh air in this oversaturated genre

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2017)

If you have seen the whole movie then go and watch the first scene again. Trust me, you would see a lot this time.
The common themes of horror movies haven't changed for a long time. The new movies just shuffles the general pool with little to no original input. This movie is something new on its own. It was scary without the CGI or the jump scares or the dark alleyways. This by itself says a lot about this movies quality.
The story is very good. The director did a good job giving life to the story. I liked how he ignored the common structure of horror movies. He could've easily followed the norm even with this story to scare people, but thankfully he didn't. The overall tone is calm and there is very little explanation of whats going on which always keeps the viewers in a state of soothing suspense, if that makes any sense. I also enjoyed the key characters not being plain stupid like the other horror movies.
I have some issues with the pool scene. This might seem being too much skeptical but bullets don't travel very far under water. And another thing bugged me. Why didn't they just slept with a prostitute and passed it on. The chance of this curse moving down a big chain of people is very high in that case.
Overall this was a good movie. One shouldn't simply just skip the chance of watching this.
