I am quite excited. I personally love the Blumhouse formula. Pretty girl + high production value + horror elements = Fun. I now try to see every Blumhouse movie in the theater.

As discussed in the other thread on this movie, it's directed by the guy who did Blumhouse's Truth or Dare, which was a gigantic pile of trash. It had the pretty girl, it had the moderately professional production value, and it had horror cliches. I'm not above that formula, but that is a truly terrible film.

The idea of putting a horror spin on a movie version of a cheesy 70s show might have looked interesting on paper, and I admit was intrigued by this concept, but this Blumhouse production fails to deliver. First of all, it was too tame and not horrifying enough; might have benefited more from R-rated nastiness rather than PG-13 tameness. Second, the script was too cluttered and as a result the movie just got more and more confusing and ridiculous as it went along. And of course there's the usual cast of annoying, over-hip characters.

I loved this movie. I'll especially always have a soft spot for it because it was the last movie I saw before everything got shut down, it was the last new movie I've seen in a year.
I wasn't familiar with Blumhouse when I went to see it. What drew me to this movie was what we DIDN'T see in the promos, we saw the 'childhood bully revenge' fantasy that went awry, and the woman who suddenly had a husband and daughter, but they weren't the ONLY guests on the island and I wanted to know, what were the OTHER guests' fantasies? Why didn't we get to see them in the ads on TV? That's why I went, to see what they specifically weren't showing us.
