Gamer99z 08/14/17 6:46:10 AM #40:	Honestly I think it's pretty overrated personally, I've seen people list it in like top 10 lists of their favorite movies and things like that, and I've also heard people saying things about it being really scary, which to me any scare factor it had didn't really hold up. I'm not saying it's bad or anything but that I heard so much praise about it for years before I actually saw it and it was just good to me, not amazing or anything. I felt like there was a big missed opportunity for more character drama, tension, and paranoia than it actually delivered on. I feel like the premise had so much more potential for that than it actually had.
