I enjoyed this, way better than I had been led to believe
This is the 3rd part of the "Alien" saga and I like it a lot. In my opinion it is better than the second part (contrary to almost everybody else's opinion). Why? Because it brings back the horror of "Alien" and drops the unnecessary action-overdose of "Aliens".
It started off interesting, but by the second half it went so horribly wrong and boring.
It’s like M.Night Shyamalan made this movie purely to try make his daughters singing career a thing. Then there’s her acting… so painful to watch.
I really had high hopes for this one, but it’s a massive letdown :( Great to see Josh Hartnett back on the big screens and shirtless. Smash
First part is enjoyable, if a bit badly written, second part after the concert just gets dumber and dumber, no twists at all, lame ending.
I fully get what they were trying to do here and when it worked, it worked really well. Sadly, I felt they didn't have enough ideas to fill these 90 minutes. In theory, following the killer (and the victims) through the woods in an over-the-shoulder-videogamesk perspective sounds like a fresh, tension building gimmick. But there were way too many of these kind of scenes and due to the lack of music, there really wasn't much tension either. I felt really bored after a while, just waiting for the next (mostly really great!) kills to happen.
To my disappointment, the background story was even thinner and (sorry) dumber than a lot of traditional slasher's. If you want to make an artsy kind of slasher, you really need to pull it through, especially story-wise. You can't just take all steoretypes of the genre and try to put the execution into an artsy, slow-cinema corset.
I dunno, this could have been a really cool short film but at least for me, wasn't thought out well enough to fill 90 minutes.
Don't listen to the comments saying this is a great movie because it truly is not.
I would say it starts of promising and makes you think it's building up to something but then the story line just takes a turn for the stupid and you need to switch off and not over think about what's going on.
I love Jordan Peele...I was so looking forward to this...and was let down tremendously. The entire Gordy storyline merely seemed like filler and detracted from the rest of the movie. Could've been a lot better imho.
