Why all the jump scares?


I love the Cage and I watch his movies in any case, but this movie was quite decent in my opinion.

It was dark with a good pace and an uneasy feeling to it, and it would have been better if that pleasant atmosphere of discomfort for a thriller was not filled with cheap and stupid jump scares at times. I really hate that stuff.

With all the jump scares removed from the movie, and with a better ending (the existing one felt kind of lazy and rushed), the movie could be a solid 7/10.


Doing a thing well is often a waste of time

A news report at the end would have been a valued addition or at least to see the other kids being returned.
