Now I have fallen into this trap before.
Looking for exciting mystery thrillers, finding something interesting that nobody's ever heard of.
And then, of course, regretting it.
Scott Eastwood echoes the looks of his Dad remarkably, but that's about it.
This looks like a film made because somebody needed to make a film.
If you see it classed as horror I would take issue with that.
But if it was delivered as a one-hour fringe play, I possibly could go for it.
Or even written as a short story.
But a movie scripted functionally somebody with no flair for the written word. No, thanks.
Thanks. And everything.
But no.
The final sequence of the walk along the sand in the same footprints they made in their rehearsal shows the sort of sloppiness that made the film tedious even when watching it at 1.75 speed which is the one way to slog through if you need to know the twist
I've since learned the film had two titles (always a good sign!), the second with a cliche formula of The Haunting of....
I don't think it's haunting anymore then it's a horror movie.
A mystery movie in need of some better scripting then.
But damn, he does like Clint
Satisfaction - Not Guaranteed
Rewatchable? Jesus, no
One-line review: a serviceable short story formulaically put on film for the wrong reasons, best watched with subtitles at double speed.
3/10
