One of the most overrated movies I've ever seen, as critic and audience ratings can attest to. The film isn't scary. It's too reliant on jumpscares, booming soundtracks and 'less is more' to even bother trying. Emotional moments felt lifeless and unnatural, comedic moments were forced and unnecessary, pointless scenes slowed the movie down and one scene in particular was incompetent. The reliance on CGI, executing a villain poorly and wasting screentime for important characters was another problem. I'd go into detail, but I'd just be nitpicking and I don't want that. This film is ultimately a disappointment with little to no redeeming qualities. I don't understand what makes this film so 'impressive' when films with similar 'positives' (like Halloween 2018 or Child's Play 2019) get shot down and critiqued.
