There is so little to connect to in this movie.
The characters are unlikable. The situations are just plain silly. The "monster" doesn't make sense. I don't understand who I'm supposed to be rooting for.
These characters are supposed to be university aged. But they look far older so their naivety doesn't make sense. They should have cast younger actors. If I'm seeing grown adults already in their fourth decade of life behaving like drunk students I just roll my eyes.
If I can't care for your characters, I don't care what happens to them.
The situation makes zero sense too. Why do they have this property on this island? How do you continue to own a property without understanding what is happening around said property. They would still have to pay tax and upkeep and all that jazz. You can't just own a house and forget about it.
How could they not have had a phone call from ANYONE going, "You know that property you own that you never go to? It's surrounded by killer dogs. We're sending an exterminator in. We'll send you the bill".
Which brings me to the biggest failure of this entire movie: The monster.
I was expecting an actual horrific monster of sorts. What I got was a dog that I've been trained from birth to view as a protector. These dogs are police dogs, army dogs, in some cases assistance dogs.
I CANNOT see them as bad by any stretch of the imagination.
If they were going to go the dog route, why didn't they choose a dog which does not have a reputation as the "good guy"?
I just can't feel fear when I see these dogs "attack" because they have actual smiles on their faces and wagging tails. Sorry but no, the film makers could not have chosen a worse monster.
On top of that it is sooooooo sooooooo sooooooooooo boring. I swear I've missed every big scene because I've been daydreaming because it took too long to get there and was filled with nonsense until that point.
This movie was just meh!
