Interesting Idea - Not TERRIFYING.... at all.

Rating: 6/10 (8 November 2014)

People were referring to this movie as "Terrifying". TERRIFYING - as in: It will make you feel TERROR or extreme FRIGHT. So naturally, I saw it on Halloween - paying homage to the spirit of the day.
Right off the bat you see Gyllenhaal and notice that he looks like a creepy, smarmy guy who doesn't get out enough - at the very least you recognize something is OFF about him.
Great set-up. An unstable person, and things aren't going well for him.
The stage is set for TERROR.
Then we see him in another situation, and another, and another - he's smarmy. He's strange. He's off-beat. ..... but wait... where the F** is my TERROR ? ? ?
Another situation, and another, and another.... OK we get it. He's emotionally out of touch and logically superior.... OK... can i get some terror now ? We finished the first and second acts... wtf is going on ? ? This movie had 8 stars when i bought my ticket!
Now comes the final act, the climactic moment -- oh boy this must really explode --- and then.... Terror never showed up. A giant TWIST never showed up.
**SOMEONE TELL ME IF THIS IS A SPOILER - no details, just character descriptions***
He goes from creepy, unstable guy - to bad guy.
THAT'S IT! CREDITS !
He should have crossed that line in the first 10 minutes of the movie -- NOW I'M READY FOR A RIDE!! wtf. complete let down --
those lying a*bags on IMDb - I wasn't TERRIFIED at all. And neither will you be.
A creepy guy movie with some originality, and the writing was somewhat intellectually interesting... so it gets a B
(7-10) I consider A- to FLAWLESS MOVIE-GOING EXPERIENCE.
