It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It's Nicolas Cage and you know he's had his ups and downs in movies but possibly more downs. This one is in the middle. The botton line is it's always fun to see his facial expressions and dedication even to a story like this which is not that bad at all but very familiar. As a horror fan, this one feels ok at times but mostly filled with horror cliches mainly the jump scares. But that's not to say the movie didn't have it's creepy moments as there were a few nice ones that crept here and there and at one point it really reminded me of Sinister so that was a plus. Overall, it's on Netflix so why not give it a watch. The ending however was a bit laughable.
There's a lot of build up for nothing, worth watching but it's not an amazing film.
I'm completely aware of all the hate Nicholas Cage gets (which I disagree with), however I actually consider him a good actor that commonly falls into the wrong hands. In this little horror film, Nicholas Cage actually gives an acceptable performance as the main role with good, sentimental angry outbursts of rage. It's nothing special, but I enjoyed this film because of it's imaginative, dark cinematography and quietly creepy atmosphere. It's got good jumpscares, surprisingly eye-capturing visual effects and an alright storyline to keep it going, and as long as you expect little from this film you may find yourself pleasantly surprised. I have to remark, this is actually one of Nicholas Cage's better films after all the crap he's acted in previously, and it's good that he's still acting in some films worthy of your time.
Can one put a number on that? I mean in Dollars or Euros please? But apart from that silly question (we know it's not money they are after, no one has to mention that), the movie is not as bad as I expected. Nicolas Cage goes to his extreme and crazy routine again at times and you'll either love it or be fed up by it already.Whatever the case, the story itself is nice and the movie has some ups and downs, but has a stellar cast overall that convinces with its story. It also features McHattie, which is always a plus, even if he just did it for the money (very likely), he always brings some gravitas to a plot and the movie he is involved with. Is it enough though? That's up to you to decide
