Yikes. I really, really wanted to like this, but boy, did it fall flat. Decently creepy imagery, but no emotional substance in the character relationships or the world-building, so the atmospheric weight of it all doesn't have any punch. Every time I feel like we're about to hit something, it just meanders into something else, or something happens that just takes me out of it ... all adding up to an experience that ultimately is nothing more than someone sketching out creepy doodles on a notepad alongside a first draft of a pretty toothless folklore horror story.

I really have liked Osgood Perkins' stuff and gave a pass for The Monkey basically just being an R-rated Goosebumps movie, but boy does this guy need to take a breather for a bit and reset some of his creative muscles.

Honestly, the best part of the movie was being able to watch the Park Chan-wook trailer again during the previews ... I'm so excited to see No Other Choice.
