Oh very scary. This is a modern day horror movie. Though the story is not much appreciating, but it is fresh and new. Few unexpected u-turns and few disappointing scenes, but it is just a part of the story. "If I make you lonely", you will be mine. Forever". Above is my line but that is the theme of the movie. Isn't that scary to read. Imagine what if you watch movie based on the same theme.
I found it to be a okay movie, maybe something to watch when you are so terribly bored. This is due to the fact that the movie did not give the audience enough time to understand the characters, causing the audience to not be able to sympathize with them. And the ending of the movie was very open-ended, leaving the audience confused.
We were looking for a movie to watch that night and we couldn't find nothing. I finally stopped on this one, expecting it to be a kind of "so bad it's good" horror film or for the least, something we could have fun of
It turned out that it was actually not bad at all. Sure, that's not the horror movie of the year, but I still found some satisfaction watching it. The actors are good, the direction also. There's a kind of thrill at the beginning, but at some point it becomes very predictable. Still, I was pleasantly surprised by that movie, and it didn't turned out to be the joke I thought it would be. It was well done and I think it's worth seeing.
Yeah it was jump scares ~ but they worked on me.
People say this has been done before. I suppose using social media as the plot point, sure, but this was pretty well done.
I was scared. The light's on in my room!
Seriously, though, it wasn't completely predictably. That was good.
Here's the thing for me, that makes a movie more complete. The dialogue when the story isn't being pushed. The writers and actors don't try to shove personalities down your throat in the down time.
The banter was actually funny. The conversations kept things moving. I though it woulad go one way and it went another.
Pretty good movie. And to think I almost didn't watch it because of all these wanna be critics.
My wife and I started it, expecting to watch another bad horror movie on Netflix and laugh at it, but we were actually kinda surprised at how scared we got. It's not a classic by any means, and it's not great, but it's solidly spooky, even though it relies on a bunch of jump scares.
