Lin Shaye and Jackie Weaver were the only reasons I came to see this movie. Their particular vignette was by far the most interesting and should've really centered around them. Andrea Riseborough had a fine performance but I really could not care less about her vignette or the others. Shaye, Weaver and Riseborough delivered with insanity, screams and frustrated heroine-ism, respectively. Everything else was a waste of time! The cinematography really had potential for a spooky atmosphere. But the overuse of grimy corpses, bugs and ugly colors made this film more "Yuck" than terrifying. I think this film proves a lot of potential for writer and director Nicolas Pesce. A little more horror and less horrible instances in the film would've turned things around. Also, the connection to the 2004 version feels very haphazard. Kind of reminds me why these films stopped happening for a while there. If Lin Shaye and Jackie Weaver were to star in another Nicolas Pesce film that didn't happen to be a remake of not so great franchise anyhow, I'd probably go see it!
