The Veil (I) (2016)
3/10
Predictable as hell
22 January 2016
It seems some people get offended when non-movie experts review a movie. Well I might not be a "movie-expert", a director or whatever, but I sure know what works for me or not. A review is ALWAYS personal and there's no genre in movies more personal than Terror/horror movies - what works for me might work for a few and not work at all for many.

That being said, movie starts well, good balance between "lost-footage" (that i hate BTW) camera-type and "normal" camera view. Eerie music and atmosphere, movie is good until about an half, then it starts going down and down the drain, with a very predictable story and ending.

Thomas Jane as a serious case of over-acting here and just gets worst and worst towards the end. Jessica Alba is almost a secondary role. Movie turns into a possession average flick, with a twist in the end that every one is expecting already.

End-shot before the end sums it all perfectly. A movie full of holes that lacks charisma, suspense and surprises.

Nothing new here, the same old "get in a shack, kill'em all" style of movie that's been tirelessly done for some decades now.
