Surprisingly enough, I liked this movie up until the pair left Zack's camp. After that, it turned into an absolute mess that had no idea what it was going for. The characters make stupid decisions and blindly trust people because they were pen pal lovers?
To add on to the lack of story, you are constantly bombarded with the most unpleasant strobe lighting and wonky sounds ever. It got to the point where I needed to squint in the theater so my eyes weren't flashing.
Also, I'm fine with movies that have vague endings but oh my God this did nothing to wrap up their horrible journey in the forest. Alma seems possessed and suddenly knows how to leave... wonder where she got that information from? (Oh yeah... the LSD monster probably showed her and we were supposed to understand whatever those visuals were).
