    Dog Shit Campy Hallmark Channel Hereditary.

    It’s like if some first year college student watched Hereditary & thought they could make a full length movie covering the same family dynamics.

    Terrible acting. Terrible writing. Terrible directing. 

    Shallow & hollow motivations & characters.

    Only redemption was the only reason it was green lit to start with - the ‘ghost’ being the POV. 

    In A Violent Nature which came out the same year. Treated the concept 1000% better.

    Truly a waste of my time. Soderberg is one of THE most overrated creators in Hollywood. Everything he makes is lack-luster & Mid.

    One twist too many…

    The last twist is unearned & unnecessary. Felt gimmicky & literally took this film down a star for me. 

    You can only focus so many ideas so the extreme twist, though contains some relevance to the plot, was distracting & much too sensational when compared the film as a whole. 

    Truly a terrible choice that makes this movie move from great to good.

    SHALLOW. CHEAP. UNINVENTIVE. (But with genius marketing.)

    I’m honestly shocked by how fucking bad this movie is. The hype factor is carrying this movie like nothing I’ve ever witnessed.

    EVERY TWIST is seen a mile away. Every piece of lore feels like it was written by a freshman film student.

    Almost all the acting other than Underwood is subpar, cheesy, & flat. 

    Nick Cage performance??? Over the top & to the point of humorous.

    MAYBE this character would have worked in the…

    Nothing New To Say, Just A Rehash of an Idea That’s Long Been Told… (oh and with but with some body horror.)

    Ironic that a movie about the shallowness of society is pretty shallow it’self! 

    Nothing in this movie felt inspired other than the special effect designs. 

    The metaphors & themes are spoon fed through tacky dialogue & shock imagery. 

    No need to ponder the film because they do it all for you & at times pretty poorly & shallowly.

    The performances are okay. Nothing spectacular. 

    So if you want to see 50 angles of Qually’s buttocks this is the movie for you…. other than that pretty blah.
