Samara Weaving covered in blood is one of my favorite genres, but unfortunately, this movie is one of the weaker entries in that niche. The whole movie revolves around the gimmick that no one speaks (outside of one minor character). This might be interesting conceptually, but it is incredibly dull in practice. It makes it hard to fully understand why anything is even happening. Outside of the main character's simple motivation of survival, it's not really clear what motivates the cult chasing her or why they do what they do. It also prevents any sort of character depth. There are forlorn glances between some characters, but as characters die, there isn't any significance because we know absolutely nothing about any of the characters. Sure, it lets Samara Weaving's acting and facial expressions shine, but the movie could have done that without sacrificing in terms of everything else. The biggest problem is that this movie is simply not interesting visually to make up for these shortcomings. I could maybe excuse it if it just was a fun time with plenty of cool cinematography and excellent survival sequences. Unfortunately, it is often too dark, the action feels mundane, and while the kills can be gory, they do not feel exhilarating or creative. In the end, I think this movie became too absorbed with its own gimmick and forgot to work on everything else.
