Reviews
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Sorry, this movie sucks
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
