Good movie - I am giving 9 stars in order to balance the unfair low rating
Thank God I did not pay attention to the score and started watching straightaway.. is an interesting story very well portrayed, good art direction and photography. Excellent music.. what else should I ask from a film ? I find annoying the fact that viewers should give such a low score.. is simply unfair !
As others have mentioned here, this is a phycological thriller - not a horror movie - so, from that point of view is a very interesting story, I would have given 7 stars to be more precise, however I find very unfair the overall score based on the bad reviews some others have given, so I feel morally tempted to give 9 in order to help upgrade it a bit .. (hope it makes sense) Once again: This movie is worth watching !!! - mitpen - 15 October 2022
Interesting simple story
So this movie was pretty enjoyable. I didn't see the twist coming but I also knew nothing about this movie before I watched it.
I was a bit confused in the third act (ending) but now having seen that ending, I guess it makes sense. Trying really hard not to do spoilers but I personally had a bit of sadness as the accident parallels a real occurrence in my life. So it hit me a bit harder then perhaps other parents.
I feel like I should watch it again now that I know the ending; I did watch the trailer after watching the film and it made the movie make more sense.
Overall it did a good job of building moments of tension and maintaining them for the most part. But it's not all that scary; although I have seen a lot of horror so I could be a bit desensitized.
