I cannot believe I was tricked into watching this repugnant soulless abortion, and the absolute worst part is that I wasted my hard earned money on the ticket.

When I first heard about this movie being made I immediately thought it was a very bad idea, but then after some time I learned that Nicolas Pesce was attached to write and direct, and it immediately gained my interest. After having enjoyed both of his previous films ("The Eyes of My Mother" and especially "Piercing") I decided to give it a chance and put all my faith in him. Some time later the cast was revealed and it grabbed my interest even more. I was definitely not prepared to witness such a miserable failure of a film a couple of months later.

The movie starts, first lines of dialogue are more than enough to warn the average moviegoer for the absolute mediocrity that will follow for the rest of the film. The script feels like it was written by a twelve-year-old who is starting to dip their feet into the horror genre, and it checks every cliché box you can possibly imagine. It's basically every bad thing put before in every horror movie ever crammed into an hour and a half film. I could not believe what I was witnessing on the screen, and 7 minutes in I was already preparing myself mentally for the possibility that I might have to walk out of the theater (luckily, I didn't).

By the end of the film I had rolled my eyes back so much I had a pretty intense headache. As soon as the credits start to appear I get up, ready to leave, but to my surprise when I turn over the theater was completely empty. It was at this point that I realized the entire audience had walked out. Never before in my entire life have I experienced such a denigrating and debilitating feeling: I was the last man standing. I had nobody to talk to or share looks with, so I decided to sit back again and rethink my life as the credits rolled. I made an oath to myself that I will never let be fooled into watching a horror remake/reboot ever again. I came out of the theater feeling empowered and refocused, knowing that never again will I waste my time and money in horror remake rubbish. Thank you, Nicolas Pesce, it was well worth it!
