I'm not sure why, but it seems that the main requirement for being a character in a horror movie now a days, is to have no common sense and an IQ less than room temperature.

This level of stupidity makes most horror movie characters irritating. It also eliminates any sympathy the viewer might have for them. The stupid deserve to die. There are too many out there.

========= SPOILER ALERT ==========

Scarecrows is a perfect example. I was so happy that none of the characters survived the ordeal. I hope more writers take a page from this film and let the antagonists win a few. It was very satisfying to see the main character joining her friends. More horror movies should end that way.

I was TERRIFIED that we may have reached a point in American film making, where the thought of creating this kind of rubbish was considered.

And I am HORRIFIED that someone actually DID!

=========== SPOILER ALERT =============

I still can't figure out how the main characters could make so much noise and not get caught. Yelling at each other doesn't seem like the best way to hide from a killer.

Apparently, in this world, as long as you're not in view of the other person, they won't be able to hear you.

Every one of the protagonists who died, deserved it! To be honest, I wanted to kill a couple of them myself.

The first guy deserved to die for listening to his girlfriend.

The girl for getting her boyfriend killed and for being stupid. Sometimes, you just need to pour a little chlorine in that gene pool. The untimely death of a stupid character is never a bad thing. In fact, the way this one died was pretty satisfying. .

Hopefully she was hit enough times to knock the stupid out of her. Before she realized, of course, that she was going to join the boyfriend she got killed.

The last guy for thinking his plan would work.

Why does the protagonist ALWAYS hesitate when they encounter the main antagonist?

Harper already demonstrated that she can "take care of business" with all the other bad guys (for lack of a better word). Yet she stands there holding a gun on Ravener while he taunts her. She has him. Get rid of him and be done with it. I lost all sympathy for Harper and felt she deserved what she got. If for no other reason except she was stupid.. LOL

She should have put a bullet in Ravener's skull the second she had the gun. She wouldn't have been in the state she was in at the end and her boyfriend would be alive. But NOOOOOO... run to the boyfriend when the main villain is standing right there.

Drop the guy, preferably with a double tap to the head, then see to your boyfriend.

Definitely one of the stranger films that I've seen in a long time. A little too "artsy" for my taste.

This was basically a 75 minute film that contained about 15 minutes of unique footage that simply repeated itself over and over (and over and over again).

At first, the viewer is exposed to a series of short scenes in one of about 5 or 6 different locations in the house. In the beginning, these repeating scenes did almost nothing to advance the story. Then slowly, as Emily learns what she is and what happened to her, the scenes begin to expand and change, just enough to reveal a bit more of the story.

This continues for what seems to be an eternity (I guess if you're a ghost, eternity isn't that long) until the end when Emily comes to grips with what has happened to her and she begins the process of "moving on". Unfortunately, it ends before we actually see Emily's final transition and leaves you with assumptions of what probably happened. Finally, you are left to wonder "what the *@#$ did I just watch?."

I will say that Anna Ishida gave a good performance as the main character of Emily, considering the material that she was working with. But her performance wasn't quite enough to save the film.

Although, historically, Dunkirk was a fascinating story the film was a disappointment. 330,000 soldiers rescued from Dunkirk after the German advance into France. Civilians coming out to help in the evacuation, risking themselves for the soldiers where were defending them! The potential for a great story was there!

The movie, unfortunately, failed to take advantage of the potential... It was basically a World War II movie with very little fighting and no action. It was boring (I fell asleep twice).

I really don't understand how this film got the rating it did. Unless of course, the people enjoyed the cinematography. I will give it that much. The film had a very "artsy" feel to the way it was shot. Wide camera angles that did convey the hopelessness and loneliness of being trapped on that beach and under constant danger from the advancing Germans. But other than that, one of the most boring films I've seen in a long time.

=========== POTENTIAL SPOILER ===================

The film centered around a few hours during the battle of Dunkirk and presented the events from the perspective of various people. The events that were chosen was part of the problem. They were probably the least interesting of all the things that could have happened over the course of the fight/evacuation.
