A love it or hate it movie. Made me feel like I was playing the og resident evil or alone in the dark. At first the style made me want to turn it off, but stuck with it and glad I did. Maybe it's nostalgia, but it actually creeped me out.
Awful. Too dark, snail-paced; suffers from an abrupt, jokey ending style shift.
2½💀 Well it had some creepy moments, "St. John's Wort" is otherwise a waste of time. I kept getting bored and wanting to fast-forward.
Boring, poorly filmed and lit. Pass…
It's aight. Visually very cool, but the godawful pacing really drags it down.
