The Ithacan

A rich landscape of beautiful, rolling hills is quickly followed by the silhouette of a man in his window — then a heart-stopping bang leads to peaceful silence.

It is a slasher set in a time loop, and director Christopher Landon seems to think that premise alone is enough to power the whole film.

Though there’s nothing wrong with a plot twist or cliffhanger, the film ends in such a way that the viewer is left with nothing more than confusion.

The abilities of the Peculiars are a convoluted mess of special effects: They look flashy, but they come across as cheap plot devices.
