I just kept getting the feeling that they were leaving out things they should have told us, and kept reiterating things that WE ALREADY GOT.
Like, okay. I get it. 1974. Town go burny. People die. No need to tell us over, and over, and FUCKING OVER AGAIN.
And what the movie seemed to imply was that Alessa was raped by the janitor, and that Sharon was a product of that rape, so, uh, evil-girl left Sharon on the doorstep of the orphanage.
Except... 1974? That... would have made Sharon 31. Unless it didn't happen that way, but the movie totally implied it, and... argh. It had potential to be good, but fell flat. A lot.
I was cracking up during the nurse scene. DYING. I so wanted "Thriller" to start pouring out of some unseen sound system.
