Joker415

I've always been a fan of Anna Kendrick and was not sure what to expect going into this movie.

I was a bit afraid it would be violent but the movie was something deeper surrounding emotional abuse from a partner.

It brought back memories of when I was younger and a victim and perpetrator of emotional abuse in multiple relationships and how it was portrayed and displayed so subtle that it was hard to realize it happening.

This movie opened my eyes to the awareness that needs to be brought to romantic relationships regarding emotional abuse and control.

I thought it was a touching and surprisingly eye opening movie on abusive relationships that don't involve physical violence.

I started this film with almost no idea what I was getting into.

I got excited in first 20-30 minutes of the movie thinking this could go somewhere really dark.

As the movie progressed the situation became harder and harder to take seriously due to the fact that if compared to a real situation(which I would hope the film maker would try to mimic) the characters would not really be able to pull any of this off.

I found it hard not to laugh when I saw the characters, suburban women doing all these things and how unrealistic all the aspects were to it.

Maybe it was the actresses, the situation, the aggression I couldn't take seriously but it just did not work for me.

I do applause the idea of the whole movie, wish it was better put together is all.

I've been a horror movie buff for decades and it takes a lot for any movie to scare, shock or surprise me.

I skipped this movie over a few times just because it seemed like it may be boring.

After hearing it discussed on a podcast I listen to frequently and all 3 hosts said they were scared by this movie, I figured why not give it a shot.

Going into the movie about 5-15 minutes in I had to recheck if this was the same movie the hosts of the podcasts I was listening to earlier were raving about since it seemed like it would just be another cookie cutter crazy host bad vacation movie.

I sat through it and there were some scenes that were uncomfortable and was hard to sit through BUT there were other scenes that started to lead me to believe this my be a truly haunting horror film.

I must say the back and forth of the uncomfortableness led to a climax that was worth all the tension.

This movie surpassed what I expected and horrifically horrified me.

If you have a strong stomach and can watch a horror that may sit with you.

This is a must see!
