Title: Tension gives way to Tedium
Review: This movie starts off great. The first half hour is very entertaining. There is great attention to detail in making a 70's style camp movie. Greta Gerwig's character is utterly entertaining and tension builds nicely. Then somewhere around the 30-minute mark, everything falls apart. The tension is replaced by boring, ultra-long drawn out wanderings through the hallways and rooms of the house, Greta Gerwig disappears and nothing, I mean NOTHING happens!! If they edited out about 45 minutes of the middle of this film and cut right to the chase this would be an excellent 50-minute TV scare show episode. But as it stands, it is a tedious film that tries too hard to be artsy for its own good.
