Moviegoers are saying

This video game adaptation crashes harder than a corrupted save file, with audiences describing it as a painful 90-minute experience that somehow makes a normal Walmart closing shift seem more thrilling. Despite visual faithfulness to its source material and a surprisingly solid score, the film delivers confusing storytelling, wooden performances, and the kind of 'boring bad' that fails even as campy entertainment.

Unfortunately, in today's job market, it is an entry level expectation that you give up your Friday night to be psychologically tortured by hellspawn so that your boss can sit in the basement giving himself a prison tattoo.

The disappointment set in gradually as I moved deeper into the experience. Once the initial novelty of it looks exactly like the game wears off, what remains is all the frustration of a stiff, mechanical horror game without any of the thrill of discovery or exploration. It…
