No one could accuse this film of not being sufficiently unique, glossy, and ambitious. There is a plethora of originality and brilliant ideas in this film.
It's just that the screenplay doesn't seem concerned with anything other than ambition or style. The writers don't care if it makes sense, so long as it looks cool and feels weird.
The first half of the film is filled with intrigue, but that intrigue gradually crumbles as the repetitive dream sequences drag on and as more information is revealed.
The plot twist at the film's climax is supremely obvious and it makes no sense, not even bothering to answer the sole question that the story has been posing: where are Ellie's visions coming from and why?
There are several intriguing characters, plot threads. And themes that are completely abandoned in favor of ineffective jump scare sequences that add nothing to the story.
Lastly, NONE of the horror elements work here. None of the scares are earned-just thrown in with loud noises for cheap thrills.
Edgar Wright, stick to comedy and action. It's what you're good at.
