Other than Anya Taylor-Joy, I want the time back that I wasted on this movie.

This was a really odd film - it's like they couldn't nail the tone of the movie so they were sort of half-in half-out with the horror/teen drama aspects. They should have gone all in on the scary shit, or made it more light hearted and fun. Either way, it's not unwatchable but it's far from good.

got to this. ooph its bad. not even funny bad. just boring and sad.
the horrible Russian accent. ha.
no tension. No uncertainty on whats happening. the shitty video text stuff that was almost certainly added in editing, and not part of the original..
90% of the movie is just introducing the characters practically. we get really short flashbacks to each's trauma, that goes nowhere..
This needed to be a horror movie, and isn't.
We are basically told immediately its Moonstars powers. yet, like the characters in the world don't figure it out. its retarded. "monitoring psychic powers from moonstar". "what are you powers? idk?" Why would you put giant text, telling us whats happening? That shit was clearly studio in editing. As again, the characters act like they are still trying to figure it out.
They should have given us some bullshit to make us think it might be ghosts. Had Wolfsbane talking some Christian demons and shit talk. And of course faked us out with Illyana and her connections with demons. "I dragged myself out of hell, and they are trying to bring me back."
The whole deal with only 1 person working at this facility... what? who cooks, delivers food, etc.. Could have had the doctor, and even just a few orderlies, etc. Rando's who could have stood as bodies to kill off, to sell the threat more. as well as act creepy themselves.
I wonder what this shit was supposed to be.

Disney has it all now, as we wait to see how mutants are properly induced into the MCU.
