    This movie had so much potential. I felt the layout of the story and initial focus should have been shifted. Possibly to Dakota's character discovering she had fairy blood, and venturing off from there...
    Dakota's background was irrelevant to me, especially since it was all "unresolved past".
    26:24 That part annoyed me 😄
    I truly didn't believe they made it out the woods.
    The last 40mins reminded me of the series "From".

Never change! 10/10

      While I do get what you are saying about absence of integrity when it comes to critiquing art and stuff, there is a thing also called "difference in opinion" right? Like if they don't like or care for inside out 2 for whatever reason and many of us enjoy it, does that make the ones who genuinely liked it all liars and corporate slaves who sold our souls??? That's a bit extreme too. Joseph and Nick liked challengers and hit man and I saw some other reviewers calling those movies "too overhyped and too overrated". Doesn't mean these guys or everyone else who disagreed with their opinion all liars.

      @@nikitamohan3390lol what? Did you even read my comment. I wasn’t saying people can’t have differing opinions, I was saying that these two are honest about story and character details in ways that larger RUclipsrs are not. I don’t think insane plot holes are a matter of opinion. Also it’s valid to enjoy a movie that has plot holes or is intentionally campy, nothing wrong with that but that’s not the point I’m making. You can see big RUclipsrs talking about big movies with almost no mention of the cringe in the plot and character development. It’s clear the larger channels are playing nice with big budget films and has actually led me away from watching many of those channels.

      Agreed. I wish they would have left the ending more ambiguous. Like, have Dakota Fanning realize Madeline is a changeling, but leave it at that. She can't find her and she's out among humanity to either get revenge or bring back the time of the fae being Gods or, you know, whatever. Just leave it open-ended after the realization.

      I like this movie. I comprehend most of it. It’s pretty much about past trauma and letting go of guilt, regret, and pain. (Foreshadowing) The main character Mina shape shifts into other people (wearing wigs, different personas) because she blames herself for her mom’s death. Once in the forest there are fairies that can shape shift into humans. The fairies have a grudge against the humans because humans locked them away in this forest . The fairie watch the humans to master what it’s like to be human, (ex the show “Big Brother” replaying over and over, interactions with each other).
      There is only one fairy that can do it perfectly. This fairy can be in sunlight, unlike the others that only come out at night. Reason is revealed towards the end when the fairy finds out it’s half human. As the fairy recollects on its bonding time with the humans(feelings,emotions, sympathy) it realizes it doesn’t have to be shackled down by its past and chooses to watch over Mina as s guardian while Mina learns to let go of her past trauma.

Before I show anyone I constantly ask myself questions about character arcs, dialog, plot points and mysteries solved to make sure I'm not making these same mistakes. Your inner voice will tell you when something is a missfire. Only after that will I let someone who I know will give me an honest review, read the script. As an artist, there are things to keep true to one's artistic self and then there is the side of the audience. You need to have a balance of both.

    The book is waaaaaaaaaay better. Part of the problem with this film is that the first book is A LOT of story covering the months they're all in that cabin, and the movie tries to jam pack everything into 100 or so minutes. The cramming is so dense that they change quite a few items to make them fit, but the things that they changed certain plot points into didn't make any sense and were just to move stuff along. And the big reveal is so much better too. This adaptation should have either covered just half of the book, or been a limited series to truly get into the lore and the horror of it all. But the book by A.M. Shine is AMAZING and the sequel, "Stay In The Light" drops October 2024 (this year!).

    I knew fairly early on one of the characters was going to be a watcher but was hoping it would be Georgina's character as she had already tried to sneak once and was having the hardest time dealing with her missing husband. Another interesting twist they could have done would have been to have Madeline discover she was one of the Watchers at the same time as the others when watching the video. The final act and the exposition dump made it seem more rushed and unbelievable, but there was potential to salvage this movie.
    I'm not curious enough to read the book but maybe I'll read the summary. There is no way something this shoddy is a faithful adaptation.
    Who knew such a mediocre movie would have lent itself to one of the funniest reviews on this channel? I was giggling throughout.

    Goddamnit!! This one showed promise. I should of known better with the PG-13 rating and the trailer gives too much away. Side note, the creatures from the film r based on irish folklore. As a huge fan of horror/thrillers, folklore from arpund the world is becoming its own little subgenre. Films like hole in the ground, the jinn, the hollow to name a few.. but if the viewer doesnt receive that info from a film well it kinda defeats the purpose lol! Great review as usual guys

    ALL of this!! I made the mistake of thinking this was M. Night Shymalan, not his daughter and have been disappointed since seeing it Friday. I feel a little better since I usually find M. Night movies very interesting with all the twists and turns but this was not it. I feel like the this could've really been good but it just wasn't. One of my biggest pet peeves is after returning to their homes, it seems as if no one missed them. Was no one aware that they were missing? I know Mina didn't have a lot of family that she was close to, but did the store owner/employee not report her missing? If this is present day, was there ever a search? Her phone's gps should've shown where she was heading and where she lost contact. This movie had too many loose ends to be enjoyable. My 16-year old daughter claimed she liked it alot, so there's that.

    All the thriller and suspense elements was solid. Including leading into the bunker. I get having to explain the premise to viewers but not all things need to be explained.
    Maybe too much expectation for this to be like Sixth Sense, this story wasnt it. M.Night and Ishana should write something original than look at other properties

    I hope the name Ciara is pronounced the Irish way in the movie (presuming the character is Irish)... Although the Shyalaman connection means all kinds of odd choices are likely.

    One thing I realized from Shyamalan’s narrative/story plot/ films - it’s like from the 90s quirky movie sets. Plain, predictable, and all you have to do is follow the trail of crumbs. Here’s the door. This is the scene’s window. This is where the villain gets slain. Etc.. You already know what you are gonna be expecting. Then again, we always get tricked because M Night loves the drama of unpredictability.

  • @Lilboozibert

    I just came out of the theater. Interesting story, but the final product had more holes than the scenery. And it was a huge missed opportunity to cast the two Fanning sisters together. I wish the movie was 'based on the story' and made it make more sense for cinematic purposes. A lot of loosely tied symbology (twinning, spiritual and physical confinement, redheaded stepchildren, freedom and birds, prodigal children and the confinement of evil).
    Wish it was better because I love pagan tales. And I wish the two characters weren't so stupid. It was a 5/10 for me.

    Liiiiiiiiiiisssssen full disclosure I sincerely liked the movie Hole or The Hole (?) about the changeling swappa-roo in the woods. Also give me a tale with a folklore spin and I am invested-INVESTED!! *HOWEVER* the idea that "moving a damn rug" in a room occupied by 3 ADULTS after several months irritated my f*****g spirit 😤. There should be no part of that room unknown to its captives after 2 days, 48 hours, let alone months if MONSTERS ARE OUTSIDE and we want to live!! NONSENSE!! NONSENSE!

  • @tigerlilly9038
    @tigerlilly9038 2 месяца назад

    So me also reading book (optimisticly hoping no where near finishing): *got it!* okay so boom. The artsy new tenant/captive has the skill to sculpt "look alikes" to trick creatures into thinking they're still in container home WHILE escaping out the side door. WIN! TA-DA!! Finally the last resident saves the day allowing all to escape from the cuckoo's nest by artistic trickery 😮
    Also Me: This is some movie BS!!! I sure hope the movie and book deviated greatly because that "SECRET hidden basement door" is some M. Night Classic-BS.... No one moved that table to stand on it to unscrew that light bulb EVER 💡? *EVER?*

    I was actually interested in this movie until they escaped the forest, that is where everything went truly downhill for me. Nothing made sense and all the tension that was previously built up just died. There was the potential to tell an interesting story here but they fumbled the bag big time. Who is green lighting this crap? 🤨

    Maybe I missed something, but I was really confused as to why the "coop" had all this 1992 tech, when supposedly the professor was living there in 2009? Was this a case of trying to change the timeline from the book, but ending up with huge inconsistencies? Also, I laughed out loud and groaned heavily when they turn on this 1992 PC and one of them says "is there a signal down here?"

    Super dumb and boring movie. I enjoy dark fantasy, have published two short novels in the genre. But, wow. Dumb plot things. Director couldn't build suspense. The fact they finally discovered the porthole under the carpet hole despite the interest in getting out was ridiculous. As an author, one tries to make some fact with their fiction to increase reality, even though the film is part fantasy. The "faction" in this story was brutally bad.
