Disaster

Rating: 2/10 (26 September 2018)

Up to the point when Pfeiffer and Harris depart with their obnoxious relatives and friends, I was very pleased with this film. But the second half devolves into a horrendous mishmash of horror and ridiculous staging.
It would have been a better movie and made more sense to me if the roles had been reversed. The emotional roles. The woman as the one who is open and welcoming.
From the beginning it makes no sense that a world famous poet allows people to invade his house.
He has chosen to live in an isolated place, far from any neighbors. His behavior does not make sense to me.
And, it seems, the director, once launched on the horror genre, keeps adding horror upon horror, until it becomes disgusting and even ridiculous.
Very disappointing.
