Why did this get an F Cinemascore?

I thought it was a pretty good thriller and it didn't really have anything that I felt would turn off audiences from it aside from the ending being pretty dark. Certainly not an F grade movie to me.

Because its a fucking awful movie. I saw it for free at a critics screening and I remember reading the reviews from people saying those who hate aren't smart enough to understand it. Nope the movies sucks.

Elaborate?? Why does it suck?? Show me a horror movie that doesn't involve the usual "Possession, Demons & Devil" horror movie that this is all Hollywood makes now??

I only saw it once and forgot it on purpose. This is one of those elitist movies where I remember critics often said "if you don't like you're just too stupid to understand it." No I just thought the movie sucked.

Because it is a mess.

I thought the premise was pretty unique actually?? Not sure why this would receive an "F" when there are far worse horror movies than this??

I guess I am weird because I liked it.
