Nice but really predictable
I really liked the atmospheric horror. The performances were top notch. Nick cage was fantastic, probably one of his greatest roles since that vampire movie he did that lead to memes galore. The female lead is good as well but I didn't like the way that character was written, she seemed very small and vulnerable perhaps that was intented, yet very bold and brave. I have to say I like her acting 9/10 times but something was amiss here or perhaps excessive it just didn't feel right but again Nick cage is sooo good in this. The frames and cinematography arw exceptional, almost like art. I didn't find many jump scares just a few. The background score is ominous and atmospheric. It works very well with the scenes. A few times it felt really scary because it promised a lot and that's where I have a problem with this. It was all to predictable and didn't deliver on the promises of horror in terms of storyline. Overall a very good movie. Yes would recommend watching, I don't know if its worth watching in a theatre though. Yes visually beautiful scenes looked very good in it but its more of an artistic True detective or Mindhunter kind of vibe not necessarily a theatre movie a la Paranormal activity or Conjuring kind of commercial jumpy horror.
