An average movie

I wasn’t really planning to watch this movie so soon but Nick, my step-son, bought it so I eventually ended up watching it with him. I remember that the trailer was pretty intriguing so I thought it could be an interesting watch. Eventually, to be honest, I thought it was not bad but nothing really mind-blowing. Basically, it is a slasher flick which plays with the rules of the genre and goes pretty far with those rules but, unfortunately, even though the makers obviously tried to make us believe that the whole thing was really smart, I was not really convinced.  In fact, I even thought it was actually rather pretentious. I will try to discuss this without spoiling the whole thing… Right from the start, there was obviously something fishy going on, they didn’t make it a secret, that’s for sure. So, you basically wait during the whole duration for some kind of explanation and what you get at the end was just really preposterous and not really satisfying. I mean, the number of plot holes were just mind-bobbling. Still, I cannot dismiss this feature. Indeed, at least, they did try something different, there were some pretty neat things visually speaking and I was fairly entertained from the beginning until the end. To conclude, even though it was not as revolutionary as the makers would like you to believe, it was still a decent and entertaining flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
