Pardon my sarcasm but this movie...
I almost want to say that this could have been a decent movie.
The tropes are all just bad.
The inevitable rape scene is prefaced by the rapist explaining that he is not a rapist. The whole scene in relation to the rest of the movie just makes it that much worse and just goes to extend movie that feels like it's really stretching at an hour and a half long. At one point the movie just does a scene from Cujo. For shits I guess?
The young trio have no chemistry and I can't tell if it's just the characters are garbage or if the actors don't know what's going on. Daniel Zovatto as 'Money' is completely superfluous as the 'bad boy' of the group. The other two have pretty much nothing redeeming about their motivations so I have a hard time caring about what happens to them.
Then of course we the fourth character in this broken yarn. An old blind man with scarred milky eyes just in case you weren't sure if he's totally irredeemably evil too. Cujo is there to protect him and chase the other fucks people through the human size duct work inside his huge small old Detroit home.
Oh yeah it's in Detroit too. Don't worry there's no black people in the movie. Take that however you want.
The sets and atmosphere have a good look and that's about all I have good to say.
