A bit disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (29 January 2020)

I had high hopes for this one after seeing Get Out, but it just didn't work for me. After the Thedered family took over the house the scary part was off for me and it never really got the tension back to be honest. I don't even know if this should be considered a horror movie, even though I have to admit that movies in the 'slasher genre' usually fail to scare me all together and I get bored after a while (but that's a matter of personal taste I guess). The idea behind is was interesting but to me the explanation of why those Thedered exist in the first place was way too sloppy for me. Also the fact that Adelaide actually turned out to be Red caused many inconsistencies, but that's already been addressed by other reviews over here. Generally for me the movie was a simple 'ok'. Entertaining but in no way up to the same level as Get Out. Though I have to say Lupita's acting was great!
