Explanation for the bad reviews; Not a horror
28 May 2022
Hello! So, I recently watched this movie and all I can say for myself is that I absolutely loved it. Obviously, the same thing cannot be said for other people. Why? Because this movie was not and is not a horror movie when it's being blatantly advertised as one on IMDB, streaming services, and by the critics reviewing it. Many of the people who gave this movie bad ratings were more than likely expecting an internet horror film. Many of those people were likely (and understandably) very disappointed when they were instead treated to a niche, coming of age art drama with lots of ambiguity and different interpretations. When I first saw the trailer, I had a feeling it was going to be more drama, but with that said, not everyone else sees that. If they see that something says horror, they will believe it's horror because that's what they're being sold. This movie should absolutely not be advertised as a horror film. It's 100% a drama, and with that, I certainly think that's why so many people hated this movie. Had it been advertised for what it was, I'm sure a lot more people would see it for it's true, strange, and very sad beauty. Please give this film a chance, you won't regret it.
