Starts off trying to hook you into caring with a two-pronged approach: decent acting in a naturally sympathy-inducing location (a rehab center) and showing, to the best of their ability, the limited cleavage of the lead actress. You feel sorry for her or you stick around for more cleavage, I guess is the plan.
Quite effective, really…I went for both. Plus the fact that I had to watch it because that’s…what I do.
Shortly after that there’s the all-important changing-for-a-photo-shoot scene, which allows them to say “nudity” (barely).
Between 19-22 minutes in it turns creepy and almost everything is explained, after which it ceases to be creepy.
Then you get the cr@ppy horror flick (with a few flashbacks that you don’t care about cuz either you realize it’s a sh1t film or cuz you never cared in the first place because you were just waiting for the sh1t film part to start).
It’s sort of like ‘Saw’, only much worse acted, dumber, and more pointless. Actually it’s not all THAT much like ‘Saw’, I just wanted to point out that, since I didn’t really like ‘Saw’ all that much, this REALLY sucks.
Mainly for misogynists, sadists, and crusading antitheists as “acceptable evidence”.
Directed by Britt Napier, apparently to show that women can make pointless sh1t movies just as well as men. Well done.
Movie actually ends at 1:10, then there’s sh1tloads of credits. Upped a notch for the first 10 minutes or so being not-sh1tty.
This is the sort of completely worthless garbage that ‘Cabin In The Woods’ is (so compellingly) skewering. Bravo, Joss.
