  • Oh No!

    Decepcionante.

    by

    Filme chato, lento, arrastado, morno. Deixa a gente tenso nos primeiros 20 minutos, mas vai cansando, cansando, até que a gente começa a torcer por uma morte lenta e dolorosa pra mocinha, devido às reações atitudes estúpidas que vão se repetindo e piorando. No começo, eu estava nervoso com as atitudes inexplicáveis de um criminoso oculto que não usa arma alguma, no final, eu tava nervoso com as atitudes incoerentes de Jill, e com as ligações irritantes que pareciam não acabar mais. No começo, o clichê é interessante (ligações telefônicas inexplicáveis), mas os sustos fáceis vão perdendo a graça, e o final, decepcionante. Não é de todo ruim, desde que não se crie expectativas, como eu. No final, eu falei: "Acaba assim mesmo???".
    Obs.: O trailer do filme revela coisa demais pro meu gosto, tira um pouco o "tchãn" do filme.
