It jumps around because there’s a lot of backstory with this one. But it’s good imo. Much more gore and tension than the first season once it gets going. [Reply]

I got a kick out of this movie, went in with very low expectations. Samara Weaving is a smoke show! [Reply]
Solid performances, keeps you guessing, excellent use of the location, the big bad at the end is revealed and I'm still not sure what I saw there or what it is.
7.5 out of 10.
So far this year THE DEVIL'S CANDY (9 out of 10)
The Void (7 out of 10)
Troll Hunter (8 out of 10)
Beyond the Gates (6.5 out of 10)
Normally not a fan of Australian produced films - but this was pretty good - a decent rainy day film. I'd give it 6.5 or so - 8 out of 10 seems far too high IMO. [Reply]

What’s CP say about it?
Its strength is in its recontextualization of the genre.
It's a pretty straightforward genre film, so if you know the 'twist' or anticipate it, it's a little 'well, duh.'
But it's well shot and efficient in its narrative.
Kind of like when you enjoy 'Speed,' then you realize it's 'Die Hard, . . . on a Bus.' You can appreciate the craft of adapting the narrative to another setting and how it creates new drama, even while you recognize that it's formulaic at its base. [Reply]
