I have no idea why this has so many positive reviews.
I absolutely love a slow burn. This was not that. This was just slow.
The writing wasn't the worst thing in the world but there were some cliché lines that I finished in my head before the actors could say them aloud.
I struggled to stay awake for this film. I *paid* to watch this film, but I finally fell asleep and didn't bother to finish it. I've seen enough horror movies (and gave this one plenty of time!) to recognize when one isn't going to go anywhere, where the characters aren't going to surprise you or make you feel anything much at all and when a movie is going to leave you with nothing.
Even if there was a big twist at the end (I made it a little over 49 minutes in), I don't care because I never cared about the characters. Their issues were never properly addressed. At one point the wife asks her husband if he's seeing a therapist, in a seriously accusing tone, as if getting help for his issues would be a bad thing. He gets mad that she went through his things.
Nothing substantial happens and the characters are bland and boring. I wouldn't recommend this.
