Writer’s Observation
If you are not a fan of movies with anticlimactic endings and dark humor, then this movie is not for you. But this movie is one exception because of the captivating direction, outstanding performances and the well written scripts with solid dialogues that will really made you enjoy and be impressed in this movie.
One of the major causes you will choose to watch this movie is because of Emile Hirsch and Radha Mitchell. It is nice to watch them on the big screen and doing some horror. They both are doing their wonderful performances, especially Radha. The appearance of Timothy Granaderos was really a schock addition to this atmospheric terrifying movie. You will adore the scenes between Sarah Coffey, Brooke Ramirez and Emile, and it was exciting, scary, and surprising at the end. The certified poster for this movie is so confusing, half-assed and misleading because they created the random poster that had no connection in the movie and then approved without thinking about it.
The previews looked intriguing, but the outcomes were nothing like about it. The characters acting were good. It’s always really a pleasure to see Radha. The direction, cinematography, and the sound were all in a nice quality, except for the story. The initial half plays more of the sociopathic attempt for a comedy with most of the insecure antagonist you can see. He was also totally unnecessary for the major story plot, yet they kept cutting it to him. He was basically playing the Jack Black when he was the absolute narcissist. The other part of the plot seems somewhat intriguing; however, it totally unravels with the last part. You can see that the director and writer here were both feeling suicidal when the movie was made. This is not just the case of being ambiguous, it is downright nonsensical, and not to say utterly depressing for no reason at all. Sean did it right, but the movie did it wrong.
Maybe the movie is some sort of “deep metaphor or a thing about life” but their ending part just sucked also. The acting was unusual on both ends and they played their characters perfectly. It had the best buildup and story and you will adore almost everything in this movie except the last part and some plots.
