Believer

The plot fell apart quicker than a wet paper bag, and relied on stupid people doing stupid stuff. Typical dysfunctional family that cannot communicate when something is amiss. And the best thing Kate did was to stand in front of that freight train, because the rest of this movie had her dumber than a brick and twice as stupid.

Oh and the doggie thing was weak as well, because any of the owners could have restrained the dog, and when it happened a second time while the mother and daughter both stood around looking stupid, I knew that I was watching a sinking ship.

Also this failed in the psychological terror with the flash backs of this pretentious college professor babbling about a trolley and some out of focus ring. And the ending felt like they ran out of ideas and threw this in as a fixer.

I felt more frustration than anything else from watching this movie. An overly generous 2 out of 10.

This film draws you in from the start and keeps a steady grip throughout. The storyline is tense and unpredictable, with characters that feel real and engaging. The pacing builds suspense effectively, keeping you invested and eager to see what happens next. Definitely a very interesting ride with some intense scenes that gets the heart pumping, and eyes glued to the screen. Intriguing ending that gets you wondering if there is more to come. It's well-crafted, with several strong twists that keep you guessing. Smart, thoughtful, and consistently intriguing, it's a compelling and memorable watch that stays with you after the credits roll..

The movie starts powerfully and then the intrigue starts building. I kept waiting for momentum to build but the director/writer had other things in mind. I thought maybe it is being planned as a slow burner. But it turned out to be too slow and boring. We were all looking at our watches to see what was slower...movie or the watch. The movie dies with a wimper leaving you grossly unsatiated.

The weakness is in the story. Could have been really a unique movie. What a missed opportunity.

The movie does not live upto the expectation built by the trailer. The interest was knowing about the cult. And that was never delivered except for one sentence. Skip the movie.

The movie starts out really good, and continues being a great movie until the end. The end had potential. It had unexpected plot twists that could have been awesome, but were just wasted. The movie doesn't capitalize on it at all, as well as not really explaining the cult.

However if this movie had a sequel that could explain and build off of what the heck the ending was, and maybe go a bit more in depth on the cult, then this movie would be amazing, 10/10.

Great casting and settings, but just needs a really good sequel, which someone better make. Or else im quitting my job and becoming a producer to make it.
