5/10
Great cinematography does not make a great movie

I know some will downvote this review but hear me out please.

Yes, this is a low budget movie and considering that budget they did an amazing job. The atmosphere, the music, the actor.. this is worth 10/10. No doubt about that! So I'm not saying this is a bad movie.

But no, this isn't a great movie either. Cinematography can only take you so far. At some point there has to be an actual movie and I missed that. The story ain't all that bad. I'd rate that a 6/10, but I never felt any excitement, thrill or suspense. During the movie I started swiping on Tinder, messaging a friend, I even checked Facebook on my phone... this isn't a good sign now is it?

In the end I'd give this movie a 5/10. Please check it for yourself because it is certainly worth watching and I understand why some cinemaphiles adore these kind of films, I really do, but to me the story and suspense is equally important as the quality of acting and the entire atmosphere a movie creates. I feel something was missing to really make this a memorable movie.

I can understand both the people who gave this movie high ratings, as the ones who gave it very low ratings. I think 5 or 6/10 is reasonable.
