Reviews
There is an immensely likeable film about the power of togetherness and a mother's attempt to keep her son from relapsing. Then there is a cartoonish thriller with messages that contradict what came before. It makes for a highly uneven final product.
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
A different way of telling a story
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
