"Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold I will bring evil upon them, which they'll not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken onto them". The passage is right over everywhere in this film, its up to you to figure it out.
We begin in 1986 in Santa Cruz amusement park with little Adelaide confused and inquisitive about her environment, she proceeds to leave her family. The walk leads to the always hall of mirrors that gets these tales going. Move ahead 34 years, Adelaide and family go to (yes you guessed it) the woods. The usual horror/thriller etiquette takes place and well you probably know the result.
The initial quote above does have relevance in the film that we can interpret what the evil may be. Is it cloning? Is it mind control?, whatever it may be, this is where its a little flat. Its more content on trying to keep the chills then the thrills. It's not a waste of time, but it's no Get Out.
