Such a frustrating disappointment
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This movie I had high hopes for given the actors but it was just strange and didn't make a lot of sense. First off....are there really families like this? They seem cold and detached. Secondly why would you not call the police???? Why would you sacrifice your own child?? UNREALISTIC!!! Don't waste your time.
You know what I hate the most? A movie that gives an opportunity to a specific segment of viewers who claim to be "spiritual, experts, deep, intellectual, etc." to give such a movie a high rating because it "speaks" to them on a whole new level. This movie isn't deep, even after reading all the explanations out there is still not cutting it for me. I can summarize it with: random scenes, which claim to be linked in some obscure way. The writer(s) probably didn't have something set-in-stone for this so they just said "yeah let's throw it out there and we're sure that some people will pick it up, get something that wasn't planned, and they will start projecting random things to feed their ego that they're high intellectuals. We will cash on them and on those poor souls who thought that they're going to watch something decent."What a waste of time!
I like how a bunch of these negative reviews speak for everyone like "this movie disappoints audiences blah blah blah". Shut up and speak for your self. I loved this weird, creepy and disturbing movie. Wonderful change of pace and killer atmosphere
As bad as it gets. One of the worst movies ever. I feel super annoyed that I've wasted nearly two hours on this nonesense. And one thing to keep in mind; never judge a movie by its rating!!
