Jumped the Shark in one scene - MAJOR SPOILER


When we find out Hunter was really dead, and Becky was imagining her being alive. It brought in a supernatural element that didn't fit the survival story. And for those thinking imaging a speaking person can happen, think again. Even mentally ill people rarely have visual hallucinations. It's almost always auditory hallucinations. And the few times hallucinations are visual, they're brief and momentary, such as shadows appearing from the corners of their eyeline, etc. It's never a fully realized speaking human being. So a ghost appearing could only be supernatural.

This was easily one of the worst twists I've seen in a film in a long time and extended the film pointlessly. I think the film would have been much better without it.

Hunter gets lowered down by Becky to the communications dish and retrieves the bag. Hunter should have stayed on the dish and used the drone. The drone gets hit by a truck and Hunter then dies trying to get back up to the top of the tower with the bag and the rest of the film plays out without the Hunter hallucination twist.

This film felt like it was 15 minutes too long, it should have aimed to be 90 minutes but instead it goes for a pointless twist that adds nothing to the film and almost ruined it for me.

Thwe twist was so stupid. It didn't serve any purpose to the film other than having a twist for the sake of it.

It wasn't a good movie before that, but the twist turned it into a terible one.

The film was okay until yeah, the Hunter being dead hallucination twist--that sucked and was pointless, the drone hitting the side of the truck was unrealistic and dumb, and finally not even showing Becky being rescued from the tower was BS.

I wanted to see the helicopter pick her up off of the tower, why didn't they show that?

So I'll give it a 6/10.

The imaginary friend thing has been done to death since the Sixth Sense.
