You see the ratings and they are all split down the middle. People love or hate. All films are subjective, but horror seems to divide people the most. Watching a film and being annoyed by it does a good job making you want to rate it low.
The teenage daughter couldn't get get got soon enough. This is your litmus test. If you, for some reason, think nothing is wrong with how annoying and moody she is, well you go on and enjoy the film. Clearly going to be your kind of thing. If you're like me and really just am not having that, you're in for a bad time. I remember making jokes about how bad Elisa was in 24 as a teenager. Now she's the horrible mom, but at least she's likable. These kids needed parenting, clearly. The adults were too busy trying to market Internet personalities so the kids grew up to be little monsters. Frankly at this point I'm rooting for the devil to come take everyone away and I am only 31 min exactly in.
Seems math is the evil one here folks. Don't do it. Then there is the whole thing about Elisa'w family. It seemed like they were Americans that moved across the pond. Yet. There is this shadow of an accent behind 3/4 of the family members. Can you guess who didn't have a shadow? Frankly I'm feeling like this movie is just a spicier Hallmark movie. I also am a big fan of the running commentary as we literally count down the seconds of our life slipping away. I think that was the horror all along. Not even halfway thru the movie and I found the underlying existential issue. Wow. They fooled me good. Bravo, this film is brilliant!
38 minutes in and I'm jealous of all the sleeping I keep watching them all do. It's not fair. Also, math is still the bad guy. The painting of Matthew Lillard playing a scientist is amazing. He's standing there giving everyone the finger. The only positive I've seen in these 47 minutes.
Almost an hour in and the scariest thing to happen is stairs. Tremble as they sit there, slowly being panned over. The basement also reminds me of a TARDIS. Sometimes it's really small, other times it appears huge. Whatever the plot needs, it will service.
The math PhD (who looks like the 8th Doctor} guy got to be super smart in the way a marvel character gets their powers. Only now, math is the power, and it's evil. The dark side of the math. Use the force times mass... I hit my head a few times when I was kid and I went the opposite way of this guy. Thems the breaks.
1 hour in, I feel like I'm trapped in limbo. The math and signs in everything, it's all Ike giant meditation on the pointlessness of life. We try to find meaning anywhere we can. The stuff we see we think it means something or does it mean something because we think it should?
Help us old dad Brian, you're our only hope. The big reveal of the big bad, it was a fart that blew a door open. That was funny. Then we saw limbo is accessible via basement; and you spend enternity in a DMV queue.
I leave with, "you keep on knocking but you can't come in."
