I saw this was trending on Netflix so I took a punt on it and it annoys me to say that it suckered me in It's a fun little film that does keep you in suspense throughout.
The first 20 mins or so I'm thinking oh god. Acting isn't exactly brilliant, the characters are just annoying me, nothing seems to be going on. And bam, towards the end I'm fully invested in what's going to happen next and how it ends.
So I'll start by naming my negatives towards this film: The ending, although answers everything you need, just felt a bit underwhelming. It's hard to say why, but I didn't feel the emotions I should have done when it finished. The final "fight" if you will lasted far too long as well, which didn't help. Character depth was very low. I genuinely can't remember the names of half of them as they would just say a line or 2 and sod off for a bit. When depth isn't there, you don't feel the emotions you need when they die/survive. Slow start. Yeah, it just took far too long to actually get going. You're sat waiting for the impeding problems to occur and it doesn't. It just feels like an adventure film.
But yeah, overall though I was entertained by it and I'm quite happy I chose it. I will say that there isn't much in terms of "horror" (I know Netflix say it's a horror film), there's some heavy gore here and there, but that's about it. Overall though 6/10 from me. Worth a cheeky punt.
PS, if you've seen (not a spoiler). Why did they take the Swedish couple at the beginning, but nobody else? Them as characters just seemed pointless filler.
