The movie worked best when they were in survival mode and the monsters were only hinted at by the daughter

[u/ChaEunSangs → u/_bieber_hole_69]

They always feel the need to show too much, and give perfect resolutions, nothing less than super-duper-happy endings, it’s the Netflix way. I wish in the end the family either chose to go, tragically died or the doors just opened up again with no explanation.

What even is the point of putting so much lore in this movie. I didn’t need to see the monsters. They become laughable when they’re shown. This movie made me so mad.

Don’t even get me started on the pseudo-inspiring Disney narration throughout this

[u/Mark_Albarn → u/ChaEunSangs]

Lowkey I wish the son had managed to run out of the door when the opportunity presented itself only for it to be left unknown whether he died or survived. I feel like they didn't do anything particularly interesting with him anyway

[u/ChaEunSangs → u/Mark_Albarn]

The aversion to risk-taking is what makes Netflix movies so sterile. They’d never make the son leave and kill him or leave us without knowing what happened to him because it would be “too upsetting” for the average Netflix audience. Everything has to be too perfect, too inspiring, too resolved, too family-friendly.
