What Are People Thinking?

Rating: 2/10 (9 April 2019)

I can't believe the number of positive reviews for this disaster of a film. There are quite a few 10 and 9 star ratings here. This is on par with films by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Stanley Kubrick, and many, many other notable directors? Uh, no. It's not even comparable to horror movies by directors famous for the genre.
I know it's based on a series of games, and I guess maybe people who like the games thought the movie made sense? It didn't. A movie has to stand on its own, and this doesn't.
It's a horror movie without a single scare in it. Just a bunch of random, supposedly "scary", creatures popping up for no discernible reason, and townspeople giving the stereotypical vague non-answers about why the town was to be avoided. "Stereotypical" describes the movie pretty well, too, since there wasn't a single original idea in it. Just the usual religious mumbo-jumbo, the random "scary" creatures I mentioned before, people following people that you catch a glimpse of before they disappear (I'm so tired of that), and a revenge theme. Mix it all together, and there you have it - a movie with no flow, no scares, and no compelling reason to watch.
I was bored stiff less than halfway through the film, but I stuck it out to the bitter end. And I do mean bitter end. Over 2 hours for this mess? Do people even know what a good movie is, or a good horror movie? I guess not.
