Didn’t live up to its promise
I really wanted to like this movie. I wanted it to be awesome, to make me shiver and look over my own shoulder. But despite three thrilling trailers, I found the back and forth style of narrative to be distracting from the story. I’d have preferred just straight narrative, beginning to end.

Other than that, it was cool that everyone sees something different, but not knowing what they are seeing made the horror less for me. Good try, but it just didn’t quite make it in my book.

I would like to request that people not read the blurb summary of this book that I found on Amazon. It is far too long and detailed for such a concise work of prose. Even if Backman approved of how much of the story they’ve included there, I certainly do not. However, if you want to know my opinion of this beautifully constructed and thought-provoking novella, please read my review here – which will not give away hardly anything of the story, I promise!

Confusing Gorefest
I saw the first five minutes of this on a facebook post and was intrigued by the very suddenly bloody start so I figured I'd give it a chance. Being a fan of horror, I was excited about it. The beginning feeds the promise of gore and progresses quickly, leaving you confused at each turn. Instead of really coming to a conclusion, I feel that the movie left more questions than answers. As the storyline progressed towards the end, it gave off not so subtle Donnie Darko vibes. Where the aforementioned movie gave way with answers and a satisfactory conclusion, Tag seemed to miss the mark in that category. Still would probably watch again.
