Onus

45 min into the movie and NOTHING substantial has happened. There is ZERO chemistry between the Anna character and girlfriend. The dialog is unnatural. The acting is mostly terrible. Over all, it's just bad.

The glowing reviews I've seen here make me believe they watched a different movie than the one I viewed.

It started out to be like it might turn out to be at least an average movie... until the ending. It has no ending! They didn't write one! This story moves quite slowly (intentionally burning clock) telling a not very interesting story that still could have given an interesting ending. It's like they got to the time to write the ending and broke for lunch and took the rest of the month off. Maybe the last ten pages got lost.. or got eaten by the dog? One reviewer said it's like "Rosemary's Baby"?, "The Shining"?, "The Wicker Man"? Those were all fine movies... that he must not have never seen because Onus can't hold a candle to any of those movies. No comparison at all! With no ending, this movie is a big disappointment. A wasted 90 minutes I'll never get back.

I enjoyed the movie, kept me hooked and guessing. The acting was great and made me jump a few times.

I don't understand the low score for this one. Sure, the editing could have been more aggressive here and there, and I didn't love the way the actor playing the mother delivered her lines, but neither of those things were bad enough to ruin it.

The story was quite good, the themes were clear without being clunky, and they did a good job building tension and dread.

If you need jump scares, or if you can't get past typical low-budget-movie problems (like sound or lighting issues) then this one probably isn't for you - but I liked it, and I'd like to see what the creator could do with more cash.

It was pretty scary. Better than the Conjuring and similar horror movies. My nephew Atticus would like it
