Hypnosis, defile, demon and everything, everything, everything Throughout the film, I had only two feelings: boredom (especially in the first place) and aroused interest (closer to the finale). The claimed genre 'comedy', which is one of the proposed components of the tape is completely absent. Unless you can mention the episode with drunken defiling of heroes around the house in underwear. And after we expect tedious dialogues of characters and sluggish attempts to somehow empathize with them.
Admittedly, there are pictures and positive moments. Closer to the denouement, the plot somehow ' overgrown with meat', gradually pumped suspense, and visually the picture begins to draw in the imagination of the viewer a small heap of questions. Is it the result of the heroine’s (McKenzie’s) wounded imagination caused by hypnosis, or are there otherworldly forces in the house? Also, the initial story shown at the beginning of the film will gradually get its logical continuation.
However, the disadvantages are still much more. This is a leisurely narrative, endless cliches and self-repeats. And the ending itself, I think, would have turned out much stronger, going along a slightly different vector of the plot development, which would undoubtedly bring the picture much more twists.
British horror film 'Why hide?' 2018 release is a rather weak creation of director James Cook, with a banal plot component, ambiguous its implementation, as well as a good acting.
