Saw it this weekend and was super super excited to watch it. My random thoughts:
-My GF loved it, I disliked it.
-I will say one thing though, the cinematography was fantastic and was really well shot.
-I love horror movies, but horror movies clocking in at 2.5 hours always make me a bit skeptical
-I didn't find this movie really that scary, or even really that disturbing. I really enjoyed the premise and thought a lot more could have been done with it. I think I found the opening incident the most disturbing.
-It was too long, I felt some stuff could have been made a bit shorter (the dancing to be may queen sequence)
-The overall premise I kind of liked, such as the main character and the decisions she ended up making were interesting, that was about it as far as my interest went.
-One random thought- the guy going in to take pictures of the book - he is presented as this scholarly PhD student, and he is breaking a huge rule of his agreement by taking pictures and that is something you don't do when working on a thesis. I just couldn't suspend my disbelief on that one. If it was the boyfriend doing this, then I would have believed it.
-My GF told me afterwards it was the same guy who did The Witch, I was unaware of that. I despised The Witch, it is seriously one of my most hated "horror" movies ever, at least newer ones anyway. So far he is 0 for 2 in my book, I still need to watch Hereditary.
-Overall score is 1.5/5 for me. I don't think I would ever watch this movie again. Did I overhype it in my head way too much? Possibly.
