Thoughts;

This was marketed as a scary movie. All the critics loved it. I thought it was ok. There really weren’t many jump scares, and it was kind of weird. Throughout this entire movie I kept thinking, why does sex “spread” this? Why are all the “people” naked? Like, I don’t get what nudity had to do with the plot of the movie. I think it would have been just as creepy if the “people” were clothed.

It was different, that’s for sure, I don’t think I’ve seen any other movies with this type of plot to it. I just wish it would have been creepier.
