    I want to say that this film would be so much better without the heavy handed Garden of Eden metaphor, but honestly there’s a lot of dumb stuff here mixed in with the creepy naked man.

    This movie forgets that it has to make you care about anything before it launches you into mindless, punching bag action. 

    Truly, it’s two hours of blockbuster film cliches. I’m not sure why this exists.

    I'm not sure what this is, but it was written by George Lucas' nanny and shows far more imagination than Rise of Skywalker.

    Everything in this film disappointed me. I have no qualms with the acting. Though the writing, directing, and source material -- this just inherently gets the essence of Shirley Jackson wrong. I also think that it plays into this dangerous "tormented artist" stereotype the utterly degrades the accomplishments of the brilliant, fantastic writer that Shirley Jackson was. This bullshit honestly offends me.
