If you look at all the separate scenes, if you describe the plot, if you look at most of the acting alone: this is a great movie. What’s the issue then? It was glued together with an old chewing gum - it just does not stick together. All scenes felt disjointed, nothing transitioned smoothly and it ended up as a confusing mess.
Honestly, what was wrong with these weird transitions between scenes? They showed a really well acted, emotional scene - a dialogue of a mother describing her pain of losing her child who went missing. But in the middle of it, they just cut to flashback of her looking for the child on the day she disappeared - all the emotional impact gone with this weird cut. And then they came back to the mother now describing what was shown… So why even show it? Usually I’m more of a show don’t tell, but here the tell was important, because the emotions the mother was feeling were the focus.
It would be a decent thriller if they did a better job in the post production and completely removed the laughable supernatural elements. It’s not like the plot could not happen without that aspect and it didn't even take that much screen time anyway. It was just another not well executed idea the writer and director had…
The detective was amazingly hot, so that’s a plus I guess.
