Plot
A schoolteacher with a phobia of hospitals finds herself searching for her boyfriend inside one while teaming up with a man suffering the same ordeal that she's in.
Cast
Christine Taylor leads, Jerry O'Connell supports, Chloë Grace Moretz comes along for the ride and we even get a short appearance from Kane "Jason Voorhees" Hodder.
Verdict
I boo-booed, see I'd already seen this years ago but when movie night rolled around I picked this as my choice as I didn't remember it. By the time I realized it was too late and I didn't want to turn the movie off as my other half was invested.
Alike the first time I called the "Twist" in the first 5 minutes and that's no exaggeration. And it's not just the predictability that's the problem, it's "That" twist the one which is in a frustrating number of horror films and leaves you feeling cheated at the end.
The journey? Incoherent, random sequences, nothing flowing, nothing making sense and both O'Connell and Taylor come across very much like they're phoning their performances in and just don't want to be there. I'd argue Moretz delivers the best performance in the movie and she's a child here.
Messy, unsatisfying, brings little to the table and insults you with its finale.
Rants
No spoilers here but the "Twist" that I speak of is what I like to call the Dallas effect. It's a slap in the face to the viewer, and should never be put to screen let alone the amount that it is. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've easily seen this trope 100+ times. Enough is enough, it's unforgivable at this stage.
Breakdown
Decent cast Kane Hodder is always appreciated Story is a mess Never feels like it gets going Twist is insulting and predictable.
