The Turning

I didnt hate this as much as others have here. No, it wasnt particularly scary. But I liked the actors in it and I felt they were doing their best. And knowing the book its based off of, I felt it followed the plot relatively well with some minor adjustments. I just think the book or even the Netflix miniseries did a better job with atmosphere. For me, the biggest let down of the film is that ends so abruptly. The film really needed like an additional 10 minutes just to try and tie everything up.

Complete waste of time. I was close to walking out but I was hoping it got better. The ending confirmed that I should have walked out.

I'm irritated I lost precious time to go see this train wreck.

There are quite a few jump scares, but the plot is just really thin. There are so many unanswered questions. For example, is Finn really trying to make life hard for the governess, or is he possessed? The ending is just really abrupt, I literally gasped "What?" because I just don't know what really happened in the whole film. The two endings, which one is real? Is she crazy? It is very confusing.

Kate Mandell (Mackenzie Davis) takes on the job of tutoring Flora Fairchild (Brooklynn Prince) at an English estate. She is constantly harassed by Flora's older brother Miles (Finn Wolfhard). Caretaker Mrs. Grose (Barbara Marten) tells her that Flora is haunted by the death of her parents.

This sets up a good moody horror and it has some good actors. After setting everything up, the plot basically stops moving and developing. It feels stuck in place and the story becomes a muddle. Then the movie truly stops in a confused abrupt ending. The style is like an old horror ghost story which is intriguing. If only, the story would flow better than this.

I sat through that whole movie and I still can't tell you what happened. It's literally the most forgettable movie ever.
