an accurate depiction of what happens when you go to florida

"Now, Mister Slater, your character is super evil, so to demonstrate that, he's going to say a lot of slurs."
"Which ones?"
"Yes."

Strips a lot of what made the short story so compelling, but tries to compensate by adding little flourishes and twists. That corpse in the bed posed to mime "shhh"...

I wanted his wife's ghost to talk to/for him more, that was fun. The setup for the final act was really rushed but that act itself was really drawn out, goofy, and spectacularly unearned.

What else is there to say. Hated the dialogue, the plot was disjointed...the archetypal two-star movie.

Chris's parents make my skin crawl. Especially his dad. They are the exact same as their characters in the movie. They didn't learn a thing from Chris's death. Materialistic, narcissistic, never their fault. They regard stories of their misdeeds as fabricated or overblown, and definitely appeared in this doc as part of a bid to salvage their reputation.

I had to look away from the screen when they appeared.

An utterly dour tone.
Improbable physics with the sun and gravity on the spaceship.
Writing and line delivery that border on eye rolling at times.
Idiosyncratic editing that leaves one wondering if there's something wrong with their DVD player.
Cruel and upsetting character deaths.
An absolutely bonkers 3rd act that could give Quasimodo whiplash.
An esoteric, frustrating ending.

One of my absolute favorite movies.
