This isn't a good movie, it's not deep, clever, or anything it's desperately trying to be.

Yeah yeah metaphor after metaphor and whatever, i think there was a point being made, and actually there were times when i thought it made it well.

But most of the time it shoves it's point down your throat so much you know what is going to happen next. It was too blunt.

The last act seemed inevitable from the start, and maybe they thought it too so added a load of blood to try and surprise it up.

The best thing about this though, is that it did have a point, and was all a bit weird. I don't think it mixed the weird comedy in well, but at least it was weird. And will be something you'll be talking about after for a while.

Hits: jump scares - lots of them gore - decent amount weirdness - pretty weird, different to the 1st movie and think it's different to a lot of similar horrors twists - some obvious, some stupid, but the fact is that it does keep you guessing what is and isn't real acting - can't think of a bad one in it,

misses: plot holes - there is no getting away from the fact that the huge plot holes, especially in the last act, make no sense whatsoever, and it is annoying the writers just change the rules they've made to suit whatever they want to happen next. Everything including twists and changes that do make sense just looses any credibility, water - i genuinely thought the water bottles were to play a role in a twist in the movie, is it poisoned?, drugged? Not even there? Really bottles of vodka? No... just a paid advertisement used at every opportunity

all in all, decent horror movie with some nice jumps and blood. Ignore the plot holes i guess and just enjoy.

First, this isn't a bad movie, the story is quite interesting, and the main guy is pretty good and keeps you engaged through his thought process of how he's going to escape the situation.

However, everything is just so bizarre, like the whole trap, they found a concert ticket receipt on the floor of the safe house, that enough is just so stupid, on it's own let alone the reason you find out why it was there, it makes even less sense than before!

Why were they so sure he'd be there just cuz of a receipt? (could have been victims, he could have bought for his daughter to go with someone else, could have realized he'd dropped receipt in a house that police raided and thought prob best not to go...), why let the concert go ahead if they were so sure? Wouldn't they be trying to protect the singer? Why carry on and just put police on the doors? Why was some (really awful) profiler in charge of all the hundreds of fbi agents and officers deployed?

But because they found this ticket, they now set up this elaborate trap, bizarre. And it just got more and more surreal from there, and played out like a high school play where you get exactly every bit of information you need from the next person you talk to.. who says everything outloud like they are narrating their part

also, the main premise of the movie, the actual trap, is only about half the movie, the other half is outside the concert, and that part is just even more bizarre than the first. And more nonsensical and annoying.

I just found the whole thing bizarre, and not in a good way,
