I'm sorry but, what?
Okay, the film had potential...LOTS OF IT! A story about this "thing" called, The Bye Bye Man, that whenever you think or say it's name it gets closer and closer to you to kill you, and the fact that it's hard to not think about something you already know of, that can be pretty scary. HOWEVER, this movie did not execute it well!
My first issue was, THE ACTING!!!!!! The only person I could stand was Elliot. Elliot's girlfriend was too much...like it felt like she thought she was in like a high school play or something. It just got to the point where I literally said to myself, "Can they please stop giving this girl lines..." Everyone else is tolerable. Just...that girl...
The writing was pretty awful too! Where's the back story of The Bye Bye Man??? Why whenever he's near you hear coins dropping and hear a train coming...who is this dude? What is he? Where did he come from? Who, what, when, where, and how...nothing made sense. The only "back story" we actually got was of a writer who really was of no real importance at all...
Now, did this movie have scary parts, I mean...sure. But every time something scary would happen, you're pulled back out with either bad acting or bad direction. I hate seeing movies with potential, go to waste...like this movie was just so bad...
Should you watch this, I mean...yes/no. If you're like SUPER BORED, on a road trip trying to pass time, or something along those lines, sure watch this. If you want a film you can enjoy and be scared by, just ignore this movie..
