I tried.
So, I doubled my 15-minute rule, but the people were so lame and progress and interest so nonexistent that I couldn't continue. Not a single character is likable or attractive (I mean moreso in their personalities but looks could apply too), so why would I care to follow them? (The "mission" they were on was also lame and poorly set up.)Dear Horror Writers and Directors,
STOP making such characters in horror movies. Also, consider the horror films that are legendary in the genre. Do you know why they've stood the test of time? Because the characters could be empathized with, even if they weren't always likable! LEARN that the horror actually comes from seeing yourself in the characters/not wanting bad things to happen to decent to good people. You give me a group of annoying people and the horror element is ZERO. There goes the interest too!
Horror is my favorite genre (including every subgenre of horror), and I'm a cinephile besides, so believe me when I say that you are FAILING this genre in this horrible trope you insist on. It makes people dislike your movie, turn it it off, leave a bad review, and never watch your films again.
Sincerely,
Frustrated
*1-star because some of the trailer (the pig people) seemed intriguing, but, alas, I didn't get that far.
