I started watching this for free, (thank god!) on YouTube. It was slow and very disjointed. Awful, uninteresting, boring. Originally, when I looked this up, it was at a 6.1. Someone from the movie must have paid the people for those reviews. AWFUL! Acting was poor, not much of anything I can say good about this movie. Uncomfortable, pauses in the acting. Maybe it got higher ratings because of lesbian love scenes. Pretty yawning IMO. Not really my thing either. Only $250,000 to make the movie, truly is poorly made. The only thing good I can come up with is some of the scenery in the beginning was very pretty. Hopefully, more honest reviews will come in.

This was advertised as a horror, I was lied to *Sadface* Instead I was presented with this psychological indie thriller about a woman with a shady past and her declining mental state. But there is a killer about wearing a Victorian medical mask, but is it her?

Poorly acted and simply not very interesting this has been done before and considerably better. It's hard to empathise with the lead and therefore impossible to care about what happens.

The film leads to a manageable twist but by this point I'd all but zoned out.

Somehow, someway this mess is reported to have cost quarter of a million dollars to make. Looking at the quality of the cast, the cinematography and the soundtrack I can only assume they had really really really really good catering.

The Good:

Twist isn't awful

The Bad:

Heavily misandric

Insanely dull

The plague doctor's mask made me watch this. Oh my god this is terrible. From the quality of the writing, acting, and direction, you'd expect it to be a porn movie. It isn't, though we get a quick flash of the main character's breasts at one point, apparently a desperate decision to get someone to watch.

Our star isn't very attractive, and she can't act, so the character has zero personality, but for some reason every heterosexual male who sees her tries to hit on her.

Move along, folks; nothing to see here.

There is no horror to be seen anywhere, and very little gore. The labeling of this movie, as a horror, is a little confusing, but as a thriller it isn't the worst. The plot, though maybe not the most original, is sufficient to keep my attention throughout. What is to be seen are some very nice shots, especially towards the beginning of the film. At no point did I feel like this movie was exceptionally poorly shot, the camera work wasn't dramatically shaky like it tends to be in lowish budget films, the blurring wasn't jarring as it sometimes can be, and both the day and nighttime lighting were handled well. The sound design was also well done, there were no points in the film where i thought to myself, "Man, I have no idea what they just said."

There are a few characters that are not particularly well acted and seem a little stiff vocally. The budget is reflective though, so you cannot expect perfection, and I think the acting works overall. I do wish that there was a little more emotion in the acting though.

The plot of the film is a slow burn but not suspenseful, so I can see why some think it's boring. If you are interested in the story and characters the movie is well paced, there are no gaps where the main character does nothing. There is a theme of feminism in this movie, however, which when done right is awesome, but in this case it didn't quite hit the target correctly. The ending is the highlight of the movie. The end of the film has a decent twist. It's worth the buildup considering the lead up is not bad by any means.

The Parts I Liked the Most:

The twist ending

Lighting

The Parts I Disliked The Most:

Lack of emotion

A little too pessimistic towards men

This low-budget American film by a first-time director has the feel and pace of a European thriller or horror story; a slow burn to a depressing end. Aside from a couple of the actors, most of the cast had a fairly short history of work before this film, and the quality of the acting varies from fairly ordinary, to understated, with a few of the characters being a bit cardboard-cutout. The storyline was nothing out of the ordinary, being a pastiche of things we've seen before. Having said that, I've seen way worse movies than this. The editing and direction were quite good, considering the budget. The Egdar Allen Poe references were interesting but not over-emphasized. The scarier aspects were not overdone or played too much for cheap frights and the creepier scenes were reminiscent of The Ring.
