compelling introduction full of sinister mystery, done in by clichés and bad acting by the time the movie is half-over. the questions answered by world-building in the film don't lead to more questions, it just makes the island and the story seem smaller and less satisfying. the tension and sense of danger built in the beginning dwindle away too quickly.
beautiful, moody cinematography tho, lovely to watch no matter how hammy dan stephens gets.

the faustian story goethe would have written if he had a wicked sense of humour and wasn't just the lost duff beer mascot named "spirituosenhandlung".
maybe this sucked because i literally live in the real-life version of the canadian town these shitheels invade, but i think it just sucked because it's a bad movie with bad jokes.
