My Thoughts on Lovely, Dark, and Deep

Lovely, Dark, and Deep is an incredibly slow-paced film, and much of the film’s horror is more psychological than visual. One of the film’s themes is the survivor’s guilt felt by Ranger Lennon over the loss of her sister, which leads to her quest to find out what happened. Sadly, Lovely, Dark, and Deep doesn’t have a satisfying payoff, and the film ends up being a bit of a bore.
