I just found myself more bored than anything. I agree with Nick that it wasn't a bad idea, just a bad execution. They spent too much time worrying over the camera work than properly executing their story.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386248680892197260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741847941083055388.post-91417212025051169692012-08-02T11:59:41.892-05:002012-08-02T11:59:41.892-05:00I'm in the same mindset as Rachel on this one....I'm in the same mindset as Rachel on this one. Though I don't think the twist is a cop-out. It sets it up pretty heavily within the first 10 minutes of the movie and every now and then from that point on. I think the whole movie is set-up around the one-shot and that twist... i.e. the psychology of showing the situation that the twist entails while never cutting away. It's really a fantastic idea... but a really poor execution.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741847941083055388.post-8398437628637752692012-08-02T11:42:39.512-05:002012-08-02T11:42:39.512-05:00I thought Elizabeth Olsen was okay, but I truly lo...I thought Elizabeth Olsen was okay, but I truly loathed the film. <br /><br />First off, let's be honest here...this isn't a "horror" movie by any means. The twist was such a cop-out that it only made the movie that much worse. <br /><br />You're being too kind with 2 stars.Joe Giulianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938576382441233772noreply@blogger.com
