Not a good movie 4/10


Tried to be scary... it failed, tried to tell an interesting story... it failed. There are really not much to it, and then a dull and fast end. Not one of the good horrors of this year and nowhere near 7 stars

i haven't seen this yet, but I am noticing a pattern of these highly rated horror movies, not passing muster.

It wasn't good, it wasn't bad, it was a solid "meh".

It was dull but had a good idea, much like many horror movies.

I just watched Kevin Costner's movie, Horizon.

That had no direct plot but was about different types of people in the West. However, the writing was so good that I didn't care about the plot.

If horror movies like this had better writers they would be very good.

There was a TV show on in the early 80s called Friday the 13th. It was about a guy with an antique shop and the team was trying to track down cursed items. The description of this film seemed to be similar so I was in as it's a creative idea.

However, the story barely touched on that when show from 40 years ago did it better.
