I watched the move yesterday at the Mar del Plata 31º int film festival. As a thriller & horror lover I thought this would be something I could enjoy... but I was wrong.
The movie has potential, it's nice to see a fresh subject matter and original premise however it didn't deliver due to the bland acting, un-relatable characters, uninspiring dialog, the lack of tension (which it's vital to be a thriller), the lack of unsettling imaginary (to at least make the "scary" parts somehow eerie)
The plot is original, yes, but it doesn't know where it wants to go. Some of the plot points where interesting but didn't go nowhere; the insipid characters didn't make you invested enough on them either.
While I don't mind slow pace, this film was dragging & seemed rather incoherent. At the same time, some resolutions seemed rushed. The ending was trying to leave some sort of "shock" or "surprise" to the public but instead bring a sight of relieve because the movie was finally over.
The photography isn't particularly remarkable either. It's very forgettable over all & I regret wasting my time on it, I should have trust my instinct and leave the theater when I was 30 min in.
