This movie is weirdly paced and the writing is not good. The "creepy poem" is really bad and they read it too many times, like 3 or 4 in the first five minutes. Mean girl characters are obnoxiously mean girl characters. Fails only slightly less than the bye bye man in making a stupid named villain scary. I actually laughed every time they said his name and acted like it was ominous. It's just messy writing, painfully so. For example we go to a foster home for troubled girls and in not even two minutes they have to hamfistedly tell the audience what each girl is there for. Example: "she's such a dark web freak, trying to burn the whole system down, well at least I didn't burn my own house down" so hokey. And if this poem is so dangerous why the hell has she been carrying it around for a decade. Characters are two dimensional. One is the angry tough girl, one is the paranoid smart girl.
But the monster looks great! It doesn't look like a ps2 game monster and they do a good job not showing it in broad view. And the movie is well shot it looks very good. We'll edited too.
Not enough to make up for dumb characters and a dumb premise that has been done by a billion other movies.
Can't stress enough how stupid the poem thing is. It's so dumb.
