So this thing can trap you in a perfect hallucination seemingly indefinitely, meanwhile he's steering your body out in reality to do and be wherever he wants! That is unbelievably unfair and essentially unbeatable.
At least give the protagonist a slim chance at survival.
Yes, that's what I hated about the ending in part one. See my post below this thread. And of course that thing wil, never be beaten because they want to keep putting out sequels.
sharejust watched smile 2. wow! if they keep making movies of this caliber I wouldn't mind watching many sequels to come!
shareYeah it's bad and something I'm guessing they'll address in the next movie.
shareNo movie should ever be a hallucination really, I'm getting so sick of it
sharethey can survive. they just have to murder someone in a gruesome way in front of a witness and it will pass onto the witness.
shareJust said virtually the same thing in my post. Completely agree !
sharewell .....ok but the demon was so powerful with skye cause she was so fucked up uniquely as an multiple addition addled pop star . the more of a tortured soul the person, the more it can feast on the person
so not every sequel is going to have unique circumstances
I completely agree with you, OP. Some hallucinations and illusions are nice and help to keep things positively confusing to the viewer. But making the entire film about hallucination, making it seems that we just watch a bunch of hallucinations, meaning that NOTHING was real, it's incredibly lame and destroys any possibility of taking this movie seriously. If it was all a series of hallucinations, the writers can do anything they want without having to care about internal logic, likelihood and plausibility. Just through anything in a scene and when it ends and you start to question about consequences – JUST KIDDING, IT WAS ALL AN HALLUCINATION, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, :)))))))))
Besides, like you already pointed out, if the entity can create a state of perfect and indefinite hallucination, how can anyone beat this monster? Just make people hallucinate perpetually and only wake them minutes before taking over their mind completely; no one will NEVER beat an entity capable of that. This movie show that the entity can take complete control of your body AND mind; that's powerful beyond anything watchable as a credible conflict. I can't talk for other people, but I certainly don't mind watch a movie when there's no hope at all since the beggining.
The movie over-did with the hallucinations to the point of repetitiveness. At the end, people are wondering what parts were legit and which parts were not (eg was Morris actually there?)
