Review of Mara

Mara (I) (2018)
3/10
Incredibly lackluster

Warning: Spoilers
Starts off decently enough with a creepy premise that's been done before. As it turns out its been done before only ten times better. I was a little intrigued to see Kurylenko as essentially the only main character and she does a decent job, but the script fails her entirely. Starting off as a competent, strong character she quickly deteriorates into what we unfortunately expect from women in a horror film...incompetent and helpless. She does a good job with it, but ultimately the film's undoing is it is boring. Lost interest half way through although I did go back the next day and watch the second half. It wasn't any better. As one reviewer said, if this is your first horror film or it hits home for you for some reason in particular I could see rating it higher. But for the average person this doesn't add anything to the genre and is a poor stand alone movie.
