Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (12 February 2020)

The film looked promising because of the trailers and reviews, but I had my first doubts when I realized how long it would be. And it is long, for no real reason. The only reason would be to torture the viewer with boredom and senseless absurdity. Like a bad theather piece from some wannabe artsy director. At a certain point I could almost not watch it anymore, was disappointed by the minimal tension-building scenes, and I was several times close to prematurely ending the movie. My date told me afterwards that I could have done it with pleasure.
It's not a real horror movie, but it managed to put me under psychological strain, which almost no other horror movie has done so far, therefore 2 stars. Unfortunately this psychological "horror" effect seemed more like a by-product of a really boring movie without climaxes or depth.
It reminded me somewhat of a phobia I once read about, the fear of hot summer afternoons, where nothing really happens except the sun burning down on earth, the crickets chirping and one realising how unimportant everything seems to be, how the Earth is just a spinning rock forever trapped around a hot Fireball, burning down forever and ever, not caring about us Humans, dehumanizing Life, just like this Movie.
It had some potential, but I do not want to see this movie ever again and I do not recommend it to anyone.
