A family take a trip to the beach, and soon after their lives take a deadly twist as doppelgangers begin to appear.
I didn't care for it when I saw it at the cinema, but I thought I'd take another look, based on the various awards, and some of the many good opinions about it.
Once again, I'm of the same opinion, total frustration, what a totally frustrating mix of ambiguity, good acting, good ideas and poor storytelling.
I loved the initial premise, and those scenes where the family are terrified by their doubles, brilliant, so creepy, but sadly after that it just descends into nothing.
I felt like I was just left to scratch my head wondering exactly what was going on, we're only given a snippet of the story, I wanted to know more.
There were a couple of good scenes, and a few good jump scares, but nothing to really register or keep you awake at night, they could have gone so much further.
I will commend the acting, I thought Lupita Nyong'o in particular did an excellent job, especially playing the two parts.
Overall decent, but a little disappointing.
6/10.
