Negative Positive
Title: Boring but atmospheric. Wasted potential.
Review: When I saw previews for this film, I thought it may have been based on Algernon Blackwood's short story The Willows. I was excited, but quickly became bored. The film is little more than the same "kill the cast" flicks of which you have seen entirely too many.The setting is lovely (the Broads are a joy), and the thought of being lost in a sea of reeds is bound to bring out fear, but I wound up fast-forwarding in the hopes that something would catch my eye and tell me what was going on.SPOILER ALERT. The "reveal" doesn't really reveal much. The killer is told to kill by the ghosts, but that makes no sense. No explanation that I saw said why he killed the kids in the first place. So it is a chicken and the egg kind of thing. Makes no sense, has no significant plot, and the very end, where everything seems to go back in time and the woman's eyes turn black, makes no sense either. I was really disappointed.
Is the review positive or negative?
