5/10
The darker path ....
6 April 2023
Some nice ideas are mostly squandered by repetition and an incomprehensible story. The characters are fine, the actors fine, but nothing can really rescue this messy production. It's a shame because some of the direction is imaginative and the fleetingly seen monster is enigmatic and effective (it reminds me of the depiction of the titular creature from 2005's 'Reeker'). When it dawns on you - as it did to me - about halfway through that things aren't going to progress much further, then the rest of the film becomes a little flat, I'm sorry to say.

A mixed bag, with more that is bad than good. The dialogue through the last half hour seems to comprise almost solely of cries of 'Rachel.' And lots of screaming, of course. My score is 5 out of 10.
