Let's talk about this movie. Can we all agree this one sucked?

>stuff left unexplained
>impossible scenarios
>full of cliches
>edgy for no reason
>changes genre mid-movie
>decent acting at most

I thought it's premise had potential, but it comes out as boring and unfinished. Thoughts?
>>
I didn't think it was terrible
The plot twist was spook, I did like how they set it up to be a generic possessed doll film tho
Kind of reminded me of that creepypasta with the guy watching that kid through the walls
>>
Yeah kind of lame, I thought the plot twist made it less spooky.
>>
It was an ok film.

Saw it in theatre. It was really shitty till the one scene where the house began shaking and everything. I was really excited to see some demon or malevolent ghost come out and wreck havoc but suddenly.... oh wow it's a skinny hipster. This shit was so stupid.

Many new horror movies have the same problem I found, being that the idea is really cool and has lots of potential, but the execution is so bad and formulaic. Same with As Above So Below.

Just saw it, I was legitimately spooked up until the faggot showed up, why the fuck was he living inside the walls?

Oh? A piece of shit horror movie?? I would have never thought

I watched this during a double feature, along with The Forest.

Boy, that was a horrible fucking day.

I actually enjoyed it. I was expecting to see the ghost killing that bad guy and be adopted by the main girl and have a Dark Water-like ending. It would have been cool. But the plot twist was genuinelly surprising for me so it was fun nonetheless.
Now, what is it that was left unexplained/was impossible? I thought the movie did a good job with giving little tips about what happened without destroying the twist

>stuff left unexplained

I haven't seen the movie in question but you're the reason all forms of media suck so much.
