It all started well, with a healthy balance of horror, humor and 19th-century vibe. But if at the beginning I thought I was going to give the film an 8, then from the middle, that score started to fall and fall as more and more nonsense came along:
The doctors who escaped from the asylum did not know that this very asylum was almost on the mountain.
- Glargeroy, already aware that Lamb is not a real doctor, nevertheless shouts and proves to him, "Look, this man was killed." Why are you trying to yell at a maniac?
- The dangerous mute giant was instantly cured by simply calling him by name.
- About the Glavheroine it is said that she falls into animal rage when she is touched, but she has this moment passes when it is not necessary according to the script.
- About the building it was said that it is almost not heated (and this is in the middle of winter), but on people the cold is not even reflected.
- There's a huge wine cellar in the asylum. It's probably for the staff to drink at work and the nuts to escape.
- The villain does not kill or even injure a pile of coal.
In the last quarter, starting with the fight in the barn, the camera ran poorly like in a home video and continued to behave this way from time to time until the very end.
Finally, the characters always find the keys to each other's hearts perfectly - those very words, the same gesture, the right image, they always have key things at hand at the right moment: a gun, levers, a photo, the hero is helped by WALLS (written name, sewn photo). Complete association with a quest, not a movie.
In the end, the film becomes completely Disney: the two opposing members of the hospital reconciled and healed happily ever after in a Marxist mental hospital, which was left without heat and food and also burned. The final twists are generally just fabulous and incredibly vanilla. To start watching a thriller and end up with a kids cartoon was the last thing I expected.
