Sigh...
First Off: given that this was Bertino's first feature film, I Say he did a great job and make some excellent decisions with camera movement and editing choices. 2nd: The movie isn't supposed to make you think, its not supposed to leave you hanging, its a story about 3 people who get murdered and nobody understands why they were murdered, or who the killers were. It wasn't made for people to think about. This point is even more so clear when they didn't show the killers faces at the end, it was pointless to show them, because we didn't know anything about them or frankly care about their characters. The only reason we have a back story for what happens to the main characters is because we needed to establish WHY they were at the house to begin with. The movie succeeded on my terms because of the fact that it gave me exactly what I was expecting, a suspenseful bland murder movie, nothing more and nothing less. |
