A happily engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.
A film that split critics sharply: many admired Zendaya and Pattinson's performances and the film's tonal nerve in blending psychological horror with dark comedy, but the screenplay drew repeated complaints for lacking development and momentum, and a concealed twist about school shootings provoked outright disgust from several reviewers and real-world criticism from gun-violence survivor groups. The gap between its fresh majority and its middling critical average tells the real story — this is a film that genuinely repelled a significant portion of those who saw it.
“brilliantly constructed and fascinating journey”

“falls short of its potential despite strong individual elements”
