    Storyline issues

    I love independant horror films, but or thez have great cinematography or they have amazing script/storyline. Sadly this film doesnt have neither.

    It felt like a horror film made by students with very little cash. It was slow and the characters are not well developed. I liked the fact they used real scenarios but not related to the plot at all.

    Remoded me of the surreal 70s experimental flicks, and i think they were going for that.

    But it was too slow and no point at the end.

    Intriguing and well-made

    This film had great organic performances by the cast that felt really natural despite the unnatural subtext/plot. An interesting dichotomy that was both visually appealing and seamlessly edited.

    Cat is killed

    This movie has a scene where the "protagonist" butchers a sweet innocent cat. I stopped it right there and then. I don't care how good a movie is, killing an innocent cat is never entertaining.

    Other than that how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? Well let me tell you. Pedestrian acting, terrible writing, shoddy cinematography, and directing malpractice are all here. If that is what you're looking for, and you like a side of pet slaughter with it, then you've found your heart's desire.

    Me? I am spending my limited free time watching something else.

    P. S. Deep shame on Thrillist for listing this in their Top Ten of the year's best horror movies.

    It sucked

    Worst movie I have ever watched. No context, audio is terrible, i don't know what to say......

    Music sucked

    Got so sick of the music. The movie was terrible had no story line. It dragged on and on. "Wow. Where do I even start? This movie was an absolute train wreck from beginning to end. The plot was thinner than a sheet of tissue paper, and the dialogue sounded like it was written by someone who has never had a conversation in their life. The characters were either painfully boring or absurdly over-the-top, with no in-between. The special effects looked like they were pulled straight from a 2002 video game, and the soundtrack? Don't even get me started - it felt like random noises thrown together in a blender. I kept watching, hoping it would get better, but it just kept finding new ways to disappoint me. Save yourself the agony and watch paint dry instead. At least that's free."

    • Trivia
      Director Chad Crawford Kinkle built the film around his sister Stephanie, who has Down Syndrome and stars as one of the film's leads. Per the press materials, "Kinkle has gone to great lengths to create a bold genre film that embraces and properly represents the developmentally disabled, while still being both thrilling and disturbing. The result is a singular, deeply personal independent feature unlike any before it."
