No seriously, the majority of the movie is poorly lit and difficult to see.
Jokes aside, The Retreat is a mixed bag of a movie. From the opening scene, the motivations of the killers are very obvious, and while the LGBTQ representation was great, the movie's exploration of its theme feels a bit uninspired (again, everything is pretty obvious, including who the killers are and it's sort of an, "of course they would," moment).
The movie picks up in the last 30 to 40min, but I couldn't help but laugh as one character literally lies on the ground and watched one of the protagonists pick up an old desktop to smash their head in with.
