This genre movie about a young artist (who, despite what the film would have you believe, is not particularly talented, apologies) struggling to find and articulate herself is purely generic, and its clear attempts at representation feel shallow. It makes me wish someone had asked both the character and the filmmakers here, "What if it's boring?"

An interminable, derivative slog offering the slim reward of a few total minutes of genuine ick.

I'm sort of a sucker for stuff where really fucked up shit happens to little kids. This isn't a good example of that, needed some more intricacy and edge, but I didn't really mind. The persistent, blatant lifts from THE SHINING should have pissed me off but honestly I was impressed, it takes real balls to keep deliberately reminding me of a much better movie during your mediocre one.

Features an excellent lead performance that can't fill in for how thematically perfunctory this is. Very safe stuff.

I missed Mark Wahlberg and all the dick jokes, but I liked how the bear is a werewolf now.

Good-natured enough, and I liked the performances a lot.

Not a ton you haven't seen before (well, maybe the axe throwing), but Thorne and Rourke are both very good here, and they add a lot of texture to this small, mean little story.

Very satisfyingly gnarly, as you've probably heard. Lots of jumping off points for ideas that don't really get explored in favor of (some excellent) shocks.

"Of course, we're all human, but we'll leave that matter aside for now."

Dawn of the dead.
