"Hey Siri, Call 911" Boom. Problem solved.

Surprisingly good movie. The plot quickly took a turn I didn't really expect and Carla Gugino carried this movie to a higher level with her performance. [spoiler] the addition of the Moonlight Man was a bit too much for me though, It was a strong plot on itself without this piece of the storyline, it felt added to bring a bit more gore and horror to the story when truly it was thrilling enough. [/spoiler]

An overreaching yawner. While I appreciated the lofty goal of shining a light on the strength a woman can find in herself after being abused, and moving forward afterwards—it almost feels like that idea was put in the film to make you feel guilty for not liking it. And I didn’t like it. The way her visions with her dad and husband intertwined somehow with the weird face eating freak with acromegaly disorder felt disjointed and ridiculously implausible. Just because Steven King is super famous and popular doesn’t excuse the failed sense of the supernatural. He must have been trashed when he wrote it, or perhaps something far worse.

After reading the synopsis, I was expecting a minimalist film, akin to "Buried" (I've never watched "127 Hours", so I can't really compare to that one). But this was a rather trippy experience, by comparison. Carla Gugino may haven't carried the whole thing all by herself, but I think she did a great job, nonetheless, with some very convincing acting. Practical effects, though scarce, were very effective, as it was shown by the scene [spoiler]of her cutting her own wrist and thus escaping the handcuffs, which was very gut wrenching and a torture to watch (I mean it as a compliment)[/spoiler]. There was a nice twist and a satisfying ending. I've never read Stephen King's book, but I'd say the movie stands on its own merit.
