Waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (16 November 2017)

The premise is pretty good for a horror film, but the execution was godawful. We have monsters that look unimaginative, characters that make you want to kill them yourself, and pretty lame action scenes, with little suspense and virtually nothing in terms of payoff. The film seems more concerned with annoying the audience with a stupid subplot where irritating characters bicker endlessly than with the peril these people face. Poor character development is often a weakness of horror films, but here the film creates unlikable characters and then insists on developing them, making sure these unlikable bastards get all the screen time in the world to talk nonsense and make your life miserable as you helplessly sit in the theater seat and scream at the film to kill these characters off already. And then comes the anticlimax and the most unsatisfying ending to a film imaginable. Not only is it unbelievably stupid and illogical, but it makes sure what little emotion you may have had invested by the end of the film was dissipated with a big middle finger to the entire audience. Everything this film did with an intriguing premise was misguided.
