A very over rated film definitely NOT for dog lovers

The movie had potential with the weird book idea, then went downhill steadily. Also, the scene with the cute dog being cruelly killed was unnecessary. Why is it whenever you see a dog in one of these films they end up dead? No people killed just the family dog. I wasted time on this over-rated piece of junk. Just goes to show you can't trust the IMBD ratings. The ending was totally ridiculous. Yes, I'm sure many of you will disagree...still that's the way I feel and I'm hoping to warn others who might feel the same.

Update: If you're not a dog lover simply move on to another topic. This is meant as a warning to those who are dog and animal lovers.

I really want to thank you so much for posting this. I'm a huge fan of Essie Davis. I got hooked watching her in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and also in Game of Thrones.

Because of that, I have been eager to see her in other movies. And this movie has received some pretty incredible reviews and it's supposed to be nice and twisted. I enjoy nice and twisted movies. The more twisted, the better.

That being said, I am SUCH an animal lover that I cannot even watch Bambi and that's animated. I have no problem when it comes to people, and have worked in the medical field in Emergency Services, and the training takes over, I'm fine.

But nosiree, nope, nadda,....absolutely cannot watch an animal get hurt.

I had a difficult time watching John Wick. (I covered my eyes until my Husband told me I could look back at the screen!)

So regardless of any flack your post brings, please know some of us out here really, really appreciate that warning. Yes, it's THAT important. And NO it doesn't matter if any dogs were hurt or not in the making of the movie.

Thank you, Merrida. My warning was meant for people like you and me who feel that way about animals. I'm glad you understand that.

Best wishes
