It's wild.
Yeah I thought it kind of went off the rails when it abandoned the psychological horror for more shock horror. But overall I thought it was pretty good.
Yep, nailed it. The writing and acting was so so good. Once it switched over to a standard horror type then it was just ok. It had moments of perfection.
Yes. And it might be his best work. Both female leads are also fantastic. All three actors killed it and they had to because they were basically the only actors in the whole movie and the whole movie took place in just a few rooms basically.
Absolutely. Really it had the makings of an all-time great psychological horror, but they decided they needed the shock factor to go along with the innocence of Mormon missionaries theme. Some of that depiction was just weird too. My wife and I both served missions, it's how we met, and she said none of the banter between the 2 sister missionaries was realistic at all. Mormonism operates on guilt and shame so those kinds of conversations just really don't happen like that. It would have been way better if it had ended up being a "stockholm syndrome" kind of thriller or something. How it ended really just kind of wasted the excellent performances up until the turning point.
Really? What a sad myopic perspective you have. Then I’ll encourage you to widen your field of vision. Christ, the founder of your religion certainly didn’t teach that his followers should prioritize only their families. We’d live in a pretty sad little world if all anyone cared about was their own immediate families. Just think about where we’d be as a country if people merely concerned themselves with their immediate families and never prioritized those less fortunate, different, or those in society whom you’d never interact with inside your own home. It’s really odd to me because as an educator, I’ve made a career out of caring about those in my classroom, school, and university who are different than I.
