Entertaining - But Not Great

Rating: 6/10 (27 January 2016)

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!
I enjoyed this movie the way I enjoy a Big Mac. It's food, it's reasonably tasty, but few people would consider it a real meal.
After watching the whole thing, I was left wondering: - What was the purpose of the scenes at the beginning setting up the accident, and the occasional flashbacks to the daughter and her birthday cake? I got that the husband was likely enamored of Juno, and that Sarah's questioning him about being "distant" while he was driving likely caused the fatal accident. But this whole understory seemed to have little to do with the rest of the movie or its resolution. Sure, Sarah finally "turns" on Juno, but only after she believes that Juno had willfully killed Beth. Maybe her husband's infidelity with Juno made her feel vindicated. I don't know. But there was just no satisfactory connection. - I know most horror movies these days depend on one final jump scare after everything seems to have been resolved. I think it's kind of a cheap way to end a movie. But what was the sudden appearance of Juno in the car after Sarah had escaped and driven a few miles away all about? Last we saw of Juno, she was surrounded by half a dozen crawlers and seemed done for. Did she somehow vanquish all those crawlers, AND find her way out, AND get into the car - but hide rather than driving the thing away? Or was Juno a figment of Sarah's imagination? Guilt for having stabbed her in the leg?
Having said this, it was still an OKAY movie. But not a movie I'd be enticed to watch again.
