It's the next film I'm going to be subjecting myself to. I assumed the
mong was intrinsic to the plot.

I watched it and thought it was shit. Only one thing happens in the
first hour and the rest is equally long drawn out, leading to an
uninspired and unoriginal conclusion.

That's a shame as the ending is worth seeing - It's really downbeat and
then cuts to bizarrely inappropriate music over the credits.

The music was a big part of the problem, for me.

Watched this yesterday. Neither as good nor as bad as I had been led to believe. Most often characters were extremely off putting and probably designed to be that way. Pacing was off in spots, especially the home stretch, where it should have been gathering steam, yet the film would
still watch a character walk down the stairs and across a room, slowly, in real time. That's not suspense, it's just crappy (non)editing.
Having said that, the movie did get me heavily invested in these
characters, almost in spite of myself. The story, at least until we got to the last third or so, was not one I'd seen a thousand times already.
A little Toni Collette goes a long way for me, and we got an awful lot of
her here. If you like her more than I do (i.e. at all), this might be less of a problem for you than it was for me.
Provisionally recommended. I didn't like all of it, but it's worth seeing.

Best review I've seen. The reaction elsewhere has been so polarised that I ended up not stepping out to the cinema to give it a watch. Horror fans have generally not liked it at all and horror dilettantes have lapped it up.
it doesn't nececelery follow that a realistic assessment is somewhere between the two, I am hoping it will in this case so I'll see if I can purloin a copy from the torrents.

It almost felt like it wanted to be a harrowing family drama with no supernatural elements, and I'm not sure it wouldn't have been better off
that way. (Don't worry, the horror stuff does kick in.) I didn't LOVE it, but simply dismissing it as crap is unwarranted. There's some talent here.

I completely agree, i mostly enjoyed it and wanted to talk to you
cunts about it, but i think it suffered (like many in our genre do)
from its success/hype. Belligerent pricks like us don't want to be
told by Joe Dickhead that a new horror movie is great. We want it to
fail and then discover it later on our own and lecture people about
how they don't understand alternative cinema. It's a shame that
critical acclaim is such a death knell for us fuckwits, i'm holding my
breath now that the new HALLOWEEN has been given the big critics
thumbs-up, i suspect we're all going to be eager to prove that we're
smarter than they are and hate the film no matter how good it may or
may not be. Basically, fuck us.

I don't recognise myself in any of this.

I found it the other day and gave it a look.
It's fine. Not great, but fine. Definitely well shot and some
sequences are genuinely spooky. I'll also go in to bat for the sound
design and music, which are both excellent. My biggest problem with
it was the final reel. The film shifts gears abruptly and, instead of concentrating on atmosphere, kicks into overdrive with revelations and
a climax that are all completely fucking DAFT. I don't know about
everyone else but I found the climax to be totally goofy rather than shocking, frightening or even emotionally harrowing and it casts a
pall over a film that had been genuinely creepy and reasonably
rewarding for its first 90 minutes.
SPOILER
Maybe I was in a strange mood but I couldn't take this film seriously at
all. The SOMBRENESS and the DESPAIR and the CATERWAULING and the WEEPING
and the fucking GRIMACING and the MISERY upon MISERY upon MISERY. It was
nice to see someone having a worse month that I've had. I started
laughing during the support group meeting and was then laughing, or at
least smiling, throughout. It didn't help that the decapitation happened seconds after I'd said I HOPE THIS MONG FUCKING DIES SOON. Hilarious!
And I know what you mean about Toni Collette, a face like A TORTURED
VULVA. Spot on entertainment, though. I fucking needed that.
