Waste of time

Rating: 2/10 (29 March 2020)

How on earth has this movie such a high score? Jesus christ, it made me waste two and a half hours of my time
This is not a horror movie, this is a convoluted mess of excellent special effects, the photography of a Wes Anderson movie, and the script of a college student trying to become the next Scorsese. Oh my god, this movie is BAD! It's not horror, it's gruesome and disgusting gore that pretentiously tries to "deliver a message" but fails miserably at the moment two guys jump from a cliff, and they smash the head of the one that didn't die with a sledgehammer. All with multiple close-ups to the bloody broken skull. How lovely!
After that, and seeing that one of the friends was skinned alive, and an explicit sex scene with naked middle aged women chanting/moaning, you just know how this is going to end: Everyone (but one) is going to die
And of course, that lucky survivor is our millenial angsty and toxic protagonist. Why else would we spend 30 minutes of the movie learning about her and her sister's suicide? Unless we pity her, there's no way we'd care about our whiny, emotional vampire protagonist, which is funny because she's the exact type of people that sects lure into joining them. Guess they did that right, huh...
In conclusion: Not worth it. No coherent behaviour, no answers in the end, not even scary
