Willow C While the plot of this movie is overall quite intriguing, it tends to be too vague for the viewer to follow and often has complex dialogue. The plot is indeed deep and has many twists, but often contradicts itself and doesn’t have one clean timeline. There is no goal that is being achieved in this movie, no ultimate purpose for the story being told other than for it to be heard. The beginning of the movie was intriguing, but quickly I lost interest. It was fun to watch with friends as it was simple-minded and somewhat easy to predict, but otherwise not a good movie. The cinematic shots are pretty decent, the actors do their roles well, but the script and plot is just terrible in my opinion. There’s no real resolution conflict and or journey here. Another additional thing to add: the movie is advertised very much so as a slenderman-type movie. The name is literally ‘tall man’ and the posters you get when looking it up are of a tall, almost warped man with no face(white slender face). This does not apply to the movie AT ALL. (SPOILERS AHEAD) the ‘man’ isn’t that tall. And he’s just some random husband who kidnaps children to then get adopted by city folk in hopes to bring them a better life…there’s NO man who’s particularly tall, and no man with no face. The movie description is incredibly misleading. If you want to watch a slender man movie, this is not it. Adding on about dialogue, the script for the actors was confusing at best, however it wasn’t what irked me the most. What it was for me, was the voiceovers. You could clearly tell that the audio of their voices were just covers of the original voices(maybe for copyright reasons, they didn’t have the rights, or the Canadian accents were so strong that they wanted a United States dub?). Either way, it made the film MUCH less immersive. So, while I do enjoy the complicated plot, it ultimately lacks connection to the viewer and a journey that keeps them engaged. The movie was so confusing I often found myself LITERALLY playing block blast because I found Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Руслан Г Я заснув через 20 хвилин перегляду. Проснувся і вимкнув. Нецікавий фільм. Головна актриса красива. Це єдина гарна новина для глядача Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review David W A strange one this. It's not really a horror movie as such and it isn't particularly scary. There is a very interesting ethical point raised via the denouement though. The movie as a whole was good and Biel's performance was excellent. I personally enjoyed this movie, ideological challenges and all. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Nicole L I wouldn't quite call it a horror movie. It's more of a suspenseful thriller. It kept me watching with the few plot twist and wanting to get answers up to the very end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review James D Numerous twists that had me often guessing as to who is doing what to whom. Jessica Biel's performance was superb - I had no idea that she was such a great actress. This is a movie about how a married couple's idea of mercy and social justice becomes unhinged and escalates into sheer terror. Separating children from their mothers through either abortion or kidnapping is never an act of mercy for it leaves behind much sorrow for the victims of the injustice. I wonder if some of this goes on much in real life. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review sean s This movie had an interesting twist and was worth watching.
