After seeing the rating on this movie, I think imdb users should not be allowed to rate movies. They are way too stupid, and lack any sense or taste.
Underrated. And The Boy was overrated. Cheap And just plain bad ripoff of A classic made The year before. Housebound.
shareI enjoyed it as well. Hopefully the ratings will improve over time.
shareHey,I think you made a mistake. You posted this under "The Forest",which is indeed pure crap. You should have made this post under "Mama".

I agree with your positive review for this movie, OWT- I just watched it for the first time (after first having read all the negative reviews) and found it highly watchable & enjoyable:
1. Good solid & sincere performances from the leads
2. Moody & atmospheric sets and locations
3. Excellent jump scares & visuals in the best tradition of "The Grudge" & "The Ring".
4. Oppressive on-screen tension in the best tradition of "Blair Witch".
Not destined to be a horror classic like "The Shining" , of course, but still a fun popcorn movie, especially for a cold rainy afternoon/night.
I found it highly enjoyable. I can't understand the current 4.8 rating.
shareCount me in the camp that enjoyed it. It had a few little errors, but overall it was highly watchable and enjoyable as you all are saying (minus that one guy, heh).
I also thought that it was a competently done horror movie. Y'know how a lot of horror movies feel "cheap"? Not so with this one. Hardly a moment was wasted, nearly every scene contributed to the movie, and the cinematography was excellent. I just wished they had figured out a better way to do the scene where she runs away from Aiden. By having him yell "Give me the damn phone!!" it feels cheap and forced. =/ It just doesn't fit with his character. And also giving her a knife. I mean this is clearly an unstable person, and he gives her a knife lol. I just wish they had worked on his character more. But overall I highly enjoyed it.
About why people may be giving it a low rating. I think some of it may be the liberal babies crying "whitewashing" and some of it may just be people lacking taste in horror movies.
Dummies always blame "the liberals."
Get control of your life.
I'm a real kewl kat.🐈
I can't understand it either. Is way too high.
When the only thing a terror movie is able to offer is one jump-scare after the other...
