One of the reasons I never much liked horror movies or slasher movies is that the contrivances of the plot require that the characters be really stupid and make wrong decisions at every turn. Well the same can be said for this slow movie quasi docu drama. The characters are too trapped in their own ignorance to make any meaningful move. We've all met these people in real life. the experience of being around them while they pile damage upon damage upon themselves and those near them until there is nothing but human wreckage can be profoundly frustrating. This movie is a slow 90 minutes of that. No humor or joie de vie exists in this movie which means that it isn't even honest about it's subject. Just melancholy ignorance. Well "acted" I suppose but ultimately just a frustrating bore.
