I love the first hour, every minute of it, the atmosphere, the superb acting of the lead actress, my God, she did an amazing job, the best I've seen in years, specially in this genre.
But where the movie fails is in the last 30 minutes when Sarah starts to mentally and physically deteriorate for some reason, and I say for some reason because there is no explanation about why everything that starts to happen is happening, why does she start to murder her friends? Why is she physically deteriorating? Why do her eyes turn green in the end and she looks like an alien? We know there is a sect and they did something to her when she met the producer but we don't know what, nothing was shown or said. Or perhaps her physical deterioration and killing her friends is just a metaphor for the transformation she suffered in her personality and attitude for accepting to have sex in order to get her part and kickstar her career in the film industry? I can't tell.
I was a bit torn on the rating, I initially wanted to give it a 5 because a 6 means it's good decent movie but this can't possibly be a good movie when the story is not told well but then I can't dismiss the first hour which was simply superb in all departments so I settled on a 6 rating.
