Well but the case is that one should not allow that trauma to completely rule your life. It would have been a positive reinforcement that how she is able to beat her demons. Especially being a mental health expert and all. By the other statement I mean women are somehow more suspectible to fall prey to these creatures and be cursed.

Well the premise of the movie is that how mental health and traumas are proverbial cells and there is no escape from it once you are going through it. So in some ways it was an opportunity wasted. The other thing that stood out was that she was one of the least suspectible person to fall into that trap.

Hahahaha, yeah it was one of the grotesque creatures with her teeth and all, But I enjoyed the fact that how it was all in the mind of the person. It kind a cheapened the whole thing for me.

I guess the movie could have elevated itself if it would not have followed the milking route and ended on a different note. I mean her getting rid of her traumas might have given it a different twist. The ending has really undermined the movie.

Thank you, I would like to hear your reasoning for saying no. At the same time, I am not talking about the mental health issues, its about how they lose sight of things that are happening in their surrounding. I have watched Turkish and Indian movies and the trend tends to repeat itself.

Yeah, I tend to think the same, the other horror movie troupe is at times a dumb blonde in one of such movies that gets killed of early on.

I guess its the last thing that you need to hear is that how mental health ailments are proverbial cells through which one cannot break. The false ending would have been much better where it was showed that how she was able to beat that trauma. That would have given a better message.

That is my point, till the end, the case can be made that it was not one of the run of the mill horror movies. A psychologist, an educated person who is willing to help other people with her issues is the one that is least likely to fall prey to such situations. For me it is a wasted oppurtunity.
