    • Trivia
      On the poster, Academy Award, Tony, and Emmy-winning legend Jeremy Irons is placed on the bottom left over the credits which is something you never see in regular one-sheet poster artworks. Instead, the name of the writer Turki Al Sheikh and director Darren L. Bousman are placed on top but in fonts which are smaller than the cast on the bottom.

    Very bad movie

    The movie I watched was extremely disappointing, and I feel compelled to express my strong dissatisfaction with it. It was marketed as a horror film, but it completely failed to deliver any semblance of true horror. From start to finish, the film lacked the essential elements that make a horror movie effective.

    The plot was incredibly weak and predictable, offering no real surprises or twists. The characters were poorly developed and lacked depth, making it difficult to empathize with or care about their fates. The pacing was sluggish, with long stretches of boredom that did nothing to build tension or create a sense of unease.

    Furthermore, the film relied heavily on tired and clichéd horror tropes, offering nothing new or innovative to the genre. The scares were cheap and ineffective, relying on jump scares and gore rather than genuine psychological terror. It felt like a cheap attempt to cash in on the popularity of horror films without putting in any effort to deliver a truly memorable and chilling experience.

    Overall, this movie was a complete letdown. It failed to deliver on its promises, offering a lackluster and uninspired horror experience. I would strongly advise against wasting your time and money on this film.

    The story was written by Ai I guess It was very weak and boring 1 out 10 is too much for the film.
