Review

Honestly hated seeing this at the theater. People were laughing the whole time, which completely killed any tension the movie might have had. Every beat that was supposed to land serious or heavy got drowned out in this awkward wave of chuckles, and once that happened, it was impossible to get pulled back in. It ended up feeling directionless, like the film couldn’t decide what it wanted to be or how it wanted to be taken.

The biggest issue for me was the structure. Way too many POVs, all split up into their own little sections, and none of them brought enough to the story to actually earn that space. It felt like the movie kept resetting itself over and over, but without the payoff you’d expect from that kind of format. Every time it shifted to a new perspective, I’d think, “Okay, maybe this one will tie it all together,” and then it just… didn’t. Instead of building momentum, the constant shifts made everything feel thinner and more scattered, like the movie was spreading itself out instead of digging in.

And the tone—man, the tone was all over the place. It wasn’t scary enough to qualify as horror, wasn’t tense enough to work as a thriller, and it definitely wasn’t funny enough to pass as a comedy. It just sat in this awkward middle zone where nothing stuck. If you’re going to blend genres, at least one of them has to land with confidence. Here, none of them did. The “big moments” that were supposed to hit—scares, shocks, emotional beats—they all felt weirdly hollow, partly because the buildup never worked and partly because the audience wasn’t buying into it.

There were flashes of something better, which almost made the whole experience more frustrating. A few shots looked incredible, like they belonged in a sharper, more confident film. Certain scenes hinted at a darker, more focused story that might’ve been worth following. But the movie never stayed there. It kept tossing out new threads it couldn’t hold onto, like it was trying too hard to be clever or ambitious without asking if the story it was telling could actually support all that weight.

What really killed it was the lack of emotional anchor. You never feel truly connected to any of the characters because the film doesn’t give you enough time to sit with them before pulling you away. That’s fine if the movie pays it off later by weaving all those perspectives into something bigger, but it never really does. Instead, it just circles around itself until you stop caring. There’s no catharsis, no real resolution—just a pile of ideas that don’t add up to much.

By the end, I was left wondering who this was supposed to be for. Horror fans won’t find it scary. Thriller fans won’t find it tense. Comedy fans definitely won’t find it funny. And anyone who just wanted a good story is going to be frustrated by how messy and unfocused it all feels. It’s not unwatchable, but it’s not worth revisiting either. Just one of those films where you can see the ambition, but you can also see exactly where it falls apart.

So yeah… not terrible, not great. Just aggressively fine. Like maybe a 6.5/10.
