10, maybe 15 years ago this movie would have been a good horror for the time. Today's horror scene needs smarter protagonists that won't walk into a dark corner because they here something unusual, and yet this film had no characters worth engaging with. The villian could have been interesting if we had a more Frankenstein-esque monster to fear but also sympathise, something teased early on but never came back we the movie dragged.
The writing didn't do anything to make it more engaging, either. Horror shorts tend to provide really powerful premises for a film to expand, yet this felt like another failed adaptation where they cut corners and took a lazy approach because they outsourced the premise.
This movie needed better characters to be good, and better writing to be great.
