I love horror movies but this movie was pretty much a boring piece of crap. I went in with mildly high expectations since it got so much praise by the critics and was left severely disappointed.

I went in with mildly high expectations since it got so much praise by the critics and was left severely disappointed. I don't know how anyone could have found this scary.

Making me physically uncomfortable for 15 minutes does not make up for the fact that the other 80 minutes of this film are painfully boring.

Unbelievably boring and generic. You will need to wait 1h run time for something actually happening. And its not even interesting suspense building as you know exactly how this story will end as if you like horror movies you probably saw sameUnbelievably boring and generic.
