The Lie (2018)
4/10
An Annoying Frustrating Slow Burn Thriller
11 January 2021
This should be called "Family of Idiots: The Movie". I cannot for the life of me understand how this film was made. It has more holes than Swiss Cheese. The girl is a complete moron who is totally oblivious to the reality and consequences of her actions. Her parents, instead of doing the right thing, cry to themselves about being victims of circumstance while consistently digging themselves into a deeper an deeper hole as the film progresses. Then all of a sudden.....Blumhouse gives you a big slap in the face and makes you realize that the film you thought you were watching is in fact, not what you were watching. It's actually much worse. A groan of frustration and an "Oh my God are you kidding me??" was how I ended this slow burn psychological thriller. I experienced it, but I have no desire to do so again.
