first year philosophy kid who thinks theyre the shit writes a movie

spoilers, but keep reading bc this turd is def not worth your time lol

they set this movie up super well, and yeah no shit the trailer makes it look mad interesting, because the opening 15 minutes is the only content of interest in this plot. girls enter a house, slowly discover theyre trapped, realize the man wanted them to discover they were trapped, and that he wants to play a game…

… but really he doesnt want to play a game, he wants to yap at great length about why all religions are forms of control (which ends up being his entire MO) and then proceed make girls choose between options that dont matter.

“but michael! the fact that those options are meaningless is the point!” — yes, but if this is what the movie is going for (really, this is all its going for), then they should have hid their intentions better. instead the middle of the movie leaves you absolutely no alternative but to think “there’s nothing supernatural, this guys just a serial killer” — and he is. from the second they get into the basement and you see that both doors led to the same room, and that the decision he toyed them with for a literal 20 minutes was meaningless, you strongly suspect he’s a fraud. and then when you find out he is, an hour later, you dont care anymore

and dog what tf was that butterfly at the end, i was rolling my eyes hard. they were like “oh lets introduce a little doubt at the end just for shits” terrible movie

tldr interesting expectation play here, but they throw away the potential so early. i kept wanting something interesting, and it never came. then at a certain point you know nothing else is coming, and you just want the movie to end

i honestly liked the first act, but once the prophets got involved, they lost me.
