Fun fun fun
I absolutely adored the first film. It was so terrifying with such an eerie soundtrack but this film feels so unnecessary. I think the practical effects and set design were great but this couldn’t have felt further from what the original film was. I really struggled to get through this because it just ruins how scary the first film was. The characters feel like a joke. The first film was goofy at times with the characters but not to this extent. At it’s core it was a horror. This feels like a comedy with horror elements. Painful watch.
Beyond over hyped. Mediocre story with cringe slapstick and silly names for the sake of it to get people intrigued. Brad Pitt and all the other big names were just a means for a cash grab. Trying to have twists for the sake of twists … it was all silly and doesn’t work. The story is cringe and the characters don’t work. Beyond mediocre story with zero substance. It’s a light watch. I hate being very critical but this film…
