I did a non-IMDB review of this back in 2016 but after enduring it accidentally a second time I feel the need to express my thoughts on this.
February otherwise known as The Blackcoats Daughter is a horror though I use that term very loosely. It stars Emma Roberts, James Remar and rising star Kiernan "The new Sabrina" Shipka.
It tells three girls tales and how they're interconnected. An incredibly slow burn it alas doesn't offer much in the way of a payoff that you'd certainly expect with this type of film. A payoff at all? Yes, an explanation? Yes, a good payoff and/or explanation? Absolutely not.
Everyone looks bored which is kind of fitting because I'd imagine the viewer will be as well. The plot of convoluted but does get explained (Almost). As I walked away a second time there was still one unanswered question and I'm pretty sure it's one of those you need to suspend belief for and accept you won't get one.
Gritty, dark, terrible. I had a catheter in for a full week around the time of this movie, that was less unpleasant.
The Good:
Comes together well for the most part
James Remar
The Bad:
Dull and lifeless
Unanswered question
Performances are from people who behave like they regret doing the film
