Movies this year are either a tight hour and a half or nearly 3 hours long and there doesn’t seem to be a solid in between. The problem here is that the movies that are an hour and half could benefit from being another 30 minutes long and the ones that are over 2 hours could easily cut 30 minutes. No one seems to know where their story’s sweet spot is anymore and that is just a major bummer. Now this was a short rant in response to A Sacrifice but it could be applied to just so many films this year.

Yeah the cult plot was really lost…they didn’t know what they were doing. There was no eeriness or tension built up at all. The existence of dad and his marital problems was entirely irrelevant. As was his job and involvement with the police. It should have focused on the daughter the whole time. It wasn’t especially well acted. The cop being a part of the cult too should have been set up better, felt very shoehorned in. A Sacrifice was 0/10, sorry complete waste of space and time. It had a good concept but every single aspect of the execution was poor. I hate movies that had potential but actually suck, if the movie was bad from the jump it would be so much better.
