4.8 is far too low. Sure there could have been some parts of the movie that may have been improved and it feels a little rushed, but this was quite a good movie.
Are people rating it low because they were expecting a slasher flick and got more of a psychological thriller instead?
I really enjoyed this tense , dark look into the medical world... would definitely make me think twice about going to the hospital for a "routine" surgery.
are you going to bark all day little doggie,, or are you going to bite
No, I wasn't expecting a slasher flick. Nevertheless this is NOT a horror movie, but a psychological drama/thriller.
Its current rating (5.3) is pretty appropriate IMO. I've rated it 6, it is too slow, rambling and underdeveloped. Extremely disturbing and depressing as well, which would be okay if the movie itself was done more properly.
Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)
