73May not be grade-A prime, but it ain't chopped liver either.
The film looked very nice most of the time but then there were these over-the-top sequences that felt so out-of-place and detracted from the seriousness of the movie. The sound design was amazing! It really did sound gorgeous. Great use of the surround sound and beautifully mixed. Possibly the best sound mix I have ever heard. The only other one that springs to mind was Eden Lake (2008) but that was less dynamic and creative than this film. It started off like a slasher movie but ended slightly differently. The problem was that the pacing was very uneven and the whole ending was a bit nonsensical - should have been more out there to make it more acceptable. It was an interesting fundamental idea though. This needed to be paced faster with more stuff regarding the ending back-story. It’s a bit uneven.
It's equal parts shivery and silly -- eyeball popping in slo-mo!
