Utter, generic drivel

Rating: 2/10 (21 April 2019)

I cannot believe I wasted nearly two hours of my life watching this rubbish. I kept thinking that it must improve...right up until the credits. But no, it didn't! It just plodded its boring way though to an unfathomable ending, by which time I didn't give two hoots what happened to anybody in the film anyway. Nothing in it made sense, although to be fair within 30 minutes I'd pretty much given up trying to find a plot so maybe I missed something obvious through sheer boredom.
The only reason I gave it two stars was because of the following:
1-decent cinematography, without resorting to the hated wobby cam/wet poodle cam (that's a cam attached to a wet, shivering poodle which you then let lose on a film set)
2-the acting was okay, with Hawke turning in an excellent performance as always. Just a shame the actors had total cack to work with in terms of story (lack thereof), tension (lack thereof), plot (was there one!) and just about everything else that goes to make a film entertaining.
Oh, and as for being scary? I've worn trousers that were more frightening than this. Although, yet again to be fair, I have yet to see a movie that is actually scary, I think it's just about impossible to put something on film which is scary. You can make people laugh, cry, angry, feel good in a movie, but scary? Don't know why, but film makers just can't seem to crack that one. Or maybe it's just me. Either way, the only sinister thing about this movie was the fact that film makers somehow managed to trick me into watching this garbage all the way through.
