Sick (2022)
3/10
If you're only watching this because of Kevin Williamson... don't.

This movie was just bad. The COVID plot was bad, the characters were boring, the motive was dumb (even though it -sort of- made sense from the killers' psychotic mindset.)

The actual setting and the cinematography were the only positive parts of the movie for me. Almost all of the COVID stuff felt extremely forced.

Lots of predictable moments where the killer would stand behind characters menacingly, only for nothing to happen. This happened so often that it just started killing any suspense. The boyfriend was bland and unbelievable - especially his introduction where he sneaks into their cabin after beating on the door and scaring the girls - there was no explanation for this, other than 'lol I was on the phone doing a job interview'. Any normal person would've announced themselves or even said 'I was playing a prank on you', but nope, they tried to make it seem like a totally normal interaction. So weird.

The mom running on fire at the end was hilariously bad. The guy swimming under water for 5 minutes without alerting the main girl was also laughable. The killers didn't feel threatening or scary because they were just wearing ski masks. They felt completely human and beatable. The killers cared so much about COVID infection, yet all of them exposed themselves to someone that they knew was infected.... The list just goes on and on.

Some of the chases and more brutal moments were good, but literally everything else fell flat.
