I usually enjoy psychological thrillers, such as Gothika, The Cell, and others. However, I do not know why, this film could not keep my attention. I frequently found myself finding something else to do, such as picking up a hobby, checking the laundry, and getting a drink or snack. I think I even had a nap during one attempt to watch it all the way through.
That’s not a dig on the genre, as I typically do quite like it. I really don’t know why I couldn’t get into it. I don’t have any issues with the actors, the setting, or the idea that two isolated men with complicated backstories slowly start facing their inner demons and lose their minds. In fact that’s what drew me to the movie in the first place.
I might try watching this movie again at a later date, but it’s not high on that list, and not a priority.
