I hate this movie

I hate this movie so much. If I could go back in time and prevent myself to lazily stay up late and watch a movie, that comes up next, I would do so. Because I hate this movie so much. d

Now, I think I should clarify "hate". Its not in the sense "omg I hate it coz it sux". Its hate as a pure emotion. A responce to the way it ended. Hate towards characters that survived. Hate towards scenarios she had to go thru. This is very clear, very powerful and disturbingly negative emotion, emited by this picture.

I guess creating such a strong and vivid emotional reponce is what makes art art, but it definitly is not pleasant experience. And I hate it.

So, you need to stop watching good horror movies. Was that solution so hard for you to realize on your own? I too, felt the way you do, but that's what keeps me coming back. This movie is a keeper and will stay in our collection though I have complaints about Michael Fassbender's character making stupid, bravado fueled decisions.

I also hated it for the same reasons. Which means it was an absolute success.

I love this movie. Like someone else said, it made me feel something no other horror film has. And that's pure rage and anger. I was infuriated after the credits started rolling. And that's why this movie is awesome. But I will also never watch it again. Once was quite enough.

I agree! That was probably the worst ending for a movie I have ever seen... The smug bastard didn't even get what he deserved for tormenting those two!!! I HATE this movie!

I had the exact same reaction. I'm not saying it's a bad movie or that "sad" endings are a no-go, I just hate this movie from the bottom of my heart. Every scene and every character (even though engaging and suspensful) nearly had me pulling my hair out and screaming at the TV.

I can like a bad movie but I hated this one even though it's more than decent, just like I hated funny games.

I wish I had never seen it.

@belthazzar.I haven't read the other comments to this thread before responding to your OP.Even though I was disappointed that Jenny wasn't able to make it out alive.I didn't want to give it a super low rating because the evil kids and adults got away with it.In my OPINION it was a decent but disturbing movie.

I was in the worst mood by the end of the film. Legit, I hated the ending. I went on a rant about fairness and justice to make up for the disgusting stuff that the antagonists got away with in the movie.

Let me put it this way: you thought you are gonna *beep* somebody and come in the end, but the reality is you are *beep* and not get to come.
