Their answer to protect the kids is to keep them reliving the same day, never aging or leaving the island, for over 70 years (and going). And if they do decide to leave, the years will catch up and they'll be old, so they're fucked. How is that a reasonable way to protect them? How is she not the villain of the tale? It baffled me.

It wasn't just to protect them from the monsters of the movie but society itself. Due to their pecularities, they weren't safe in the normal world. One could argue if what they had could really be called living or just surviving but since they weren't being held in the timeloop against their will and actually wanted to be there, i think its a stretch to call her the villain of the movie.

So...much...crying. By the end of it I was rooting for the monster. This movie was pretty dumb. I was bored and frustrated halfway through, but I persevered, much to my detriment.

I like the relationship between the mother and daughter, especially since that was the whole point. I probably wouldn't have liked this at all if they had taken that aspect out and it was just a mother and daughter whose car breaks down and they get attacked by a monster

Solid movie. Really nice to see Iran do a horror movie, the setting of which adds a very different dynamic to the story. Some of the tension works, some of it doesn't, but story and acting were all really good.
