a thrilling bore....

2 stars

11 May 2018

I rate this film 2 out of 5 stars as it bored me the whole way through, There is barely any dialogue which made it hard for me to understand what was going on. When the film ends, it doesn’t even tell you why the strange virus was happening. You have to work out the story yourself, which I really don’t like to do as it makes it hard to watch. The only thing that actually is fairly decent is the acting. For unknown actors, it is pretty good, considering the main character is really young. There are also some moments that are quite disturbing, children looking like they are being possessed by demons and twitching out on the floor. This is not a nice thing to see. It does make it a lot more thrilling though, as you don’t know what the cause of this possession/disease is. This made me start begging to see the end of the film, to finally find out what the cause is, but it turns out that it never tells you, so it felt like a massive waste of time and a let down. Camera angles are creative, use of dark lighting, which is mostly low-key lighting. Overall I say that the storyline is poor but the filing and acting is good, just good.
