spoiler tag please

spoiler tag the spoiler
why would you spoiler tag your opinion?

some people avoid trailers because of spoilers

This is playing at my local AMC, which I find a little surprising given that the film has barely been promoted. Looks sort of interesting but I'll wait for the Blu-ray release. I enjoy movies like this so I think it'll be a safe blind buy. Hey, if I blind bought THE VISIT, anything is possible

What exactly did Destiny spoil for you? The movie is about a girl going to look for her twin. You find this out in the first 5 minutes of the movie.

Natalie Dormer is hot as hell, and the subject matter interests me. I'll skip it in theaters but I'll buy it on blu-ray if the price is decent.

I caught this film in a preview screening - assuming nothing changed in what was brought to screen for release (didn't see the finished product), its quite a nice watch. certainly provides the necessary creep factor and sets the stage very well. where it suffers is the narrative even after overlooking some loopholes. the pacing slows terribly in the middle act, simply because the story seems to exist only to serve as padding to the final act. If the middle part of the film had been addressed well, this would have made for a great finished product. I somehow cannot understand why critics gang up against a flick to the point of tearing it apart - why such a holistic view of something that attempts to entertain and does so for almost 70% of its time ? No one is perfect and so is this film. Does it scare ? Yes. Does it creep you out ? Yes. Is it an interesting story ? Yes. Are all the characters fully flushed out ? No. Is it necessary ? No. So give it a watch, people. Chances are you will be entertained and disregard the critics.

I initially went to Best Buy to buy this but came out with The Hallow instead as it was their last BD copy. I'll grab this probably on Friday or Saturday.

I did the same thing and I'm happy with my choice. Like you, I'll most likely grab The Forest sometime over the weekend

We watched this last night and found it rather entertaining and a fun watch but more importantly, I enjoyed the detail of the surround activity.

Opips3 · 04-13-2016, 02:26 PM

I have a question. Is that horror movie?? And it like as the Ring or Grudge??
