Rating: 5/10 (7 April 2020)

On Amazon's reviews, people who hate or were unimpressed with this film are neck and neck with people who loved it. And their upvotes are neck and neck as well. That means that it is debatable from the start just how good or bad this film actually is. If you want insane and impressing, psychological horrors Japan isn't the place to go but France is. But, for international reviews, the French were unimpressed and the Japanese were moved. That tells you all you need to know lol that this film is therefore probably empty, cheap, and thinks it's clever but is actually boring and in its emptiness it leaves a bunch of room for open interpretation. Because nothing is there anyway. So you can fill it with your own thoughts.

I mean the purpose is what? Troubled girl with a boyfriend and stupid useless friends go and die one by one in the middle of nowhere because of weird locals. People...we've seen this scenario a million times. Just because it was bright and flowery and had long scenes? So? Big Brother the reality show does too lol does it deserve praise? Haha. No. It's just entertaining. This actually keeps putting me off to watch just because it's so slow. The Shining wasn't slow, it was a slow burn, crept on you, took you around long corners. Surprised you. I watched abridged but long reactions and reviews of this film and saw what I had to see. They went the whole film start to finish and shows entire scenes, just cut some stuff like walking or talking or sped it up. I basically saw it. I know what happens, and why. I know every character's name. I know the plot, I know how it ends. Honestly, what would make the film linger in people's minds is the long scenes and wondering. The long scenes creates tension and suspense. Like if someone with a hood on was staring at you for a long time. So somehow that made this film unique and powerful and unforgettable. And if they've never seen any French films lol.
