" A creepy movie about being stuck in the woods with dangerous creatures. Though it gets weaker when it drags on.
Spoiler: The very end is overly happy too. With the lead explaining the whole weird situation to her twin sister. The sister acts totally normal about everything she was told. Like there was nothing odd about it.
Dakota Fanning is good, the direction as well. Like father, like daughter. Shyamalan needed an unnecessary twist. When it should have just ended. Since it goes down hill when it drags."
"I’m a big fan of M Night Shyamalan so even though I heard this film wasn’t that great I still gave it a chance. Plus it was his daughter first feature film. And yeah it was pretty underwhelming. Everybody says the book it’s based on is much better. I also understand how hard it is to adapt books to the big screen most of the time. At best I would say a certain niche audience maybe could get a little more out of it. Definitely wasn’t for me it kinda failed."
"This set up for this is better than the execution. That first act was really interesting. She drives into the woods then has car trouble. She leaves to get help and the car disappears. Then she is forced into a bunker with 3 other people and given the rules about these creatures that watch from the other side of the 2 way mirror. Shamalan's daughter follows the formula. An intriguing set up thats a slow burn thats showed have this twist to pay things off. However as things proceed it becomes pretty obvious what the twist is. They also break some of thier own rules with the logic. It's a solid first effort. Very atmospheric and creepy....decent creature designs. It was boring in some parts and just didn't stick the landing. It's just ok. Please check out my podcast Mostly Low Budget Movies Reviews with Clarence for a full break down. On all streaming platforms. Link is in the bio. Thank you!"
"Based on Irish folklore, very creepy, a nice twist thrown in there, as well as good acting. Loved it! Don’t listen to the other reviews, I’m very shocked people are rating it so low. A lot are saying that it felt rushed when the main character gets lost in the forest, but it makes complete sense. It was already late by the time she got into the forest, her car breaks down because of the forest I’m guessing, then she sees a sign and goes to look for help, then she gets lost presumably also because of the forest as we learn the forest causes hallucinations, and she was found probably because she was luckily close by to the safe zone. It’s not rushed at all it’s actually very “realistic” for her situation. As for the rest of the movie and people saying it falls flat near the end… that is completely untrue!! Not every horror movie has to have a climax that makes your mouth drop or scares your socks off, a lot of them are just very unsettling and interesting. And for a folklore horror movie, unsettling and interesting are perfect. We don’t have enough horror movies or movies in general based on folklore, it’s something filmmakers should get into, would be very interesting to see."
"Pretty good! There were two twists that I did not see coming."
