Viewing Notes

Without a doubt a polarizing flick; like or dislike there’s no in-between. I thought I would be the exception but no. I slant more towards dislike. I’m just not fond of breaking the fourth wall in films, esp. in what’s meant to be serious and fear-inducing. Parts of it I did find interesting but not enough to give an overly positive recommendation.
