(This review may contain spoilers).
I think this is going to be a hard film to review without giving away some of the main plot points, but I’ll try anyway.
I like horror movies. Watching them is a bit like going on a roller-coaster – it’s a safe kind of fear. (Though horror’s scarier when I watch it at the cinema. That doesn’t actually stop me doing so, though).
In many ways, I found this film to be quite cleverly done. There are moments of gore, but the main focus is on the main character, Jess, who I feel is played extremely well. When I saw this film for the first time, I found myself really caring about what was happening.
I think the other actors do a really good job as well. What I didn’t realise until a few moments ago was that Liam Hemsworth is in this film. That’s probably a bit random, but I’ve been seeing quite a few things with him in more recently. He is a good actor, though. I didn’t know the others, but I liked their work in this as well.
The first scene was, I felt, particularly effective in the way the scenes are shown. By the end of the film, the fractured scenes do make more sense.
I think this is a film that you really need to pay attention to the first time you watch it. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good, entertaining film with unexpected events happening. If you like horror, I would recommend this film as one to try out.
