The Coffin started out great, promised a lot of potential, scares and quite possible a lovely twist on top. Sadly, that old saying "a job well started is a job half done" does not apply here, cause I have to say, this one is a real downer.
So, why did The Coffin fail so bad? Well, it is a tad bit too slow, not unusual for such productions but still, and the way it heads to the end, it's just not interesting and annoying at times. I mean, we can kinda anticipate the twist if you are used with such movies, so why drag this along? Get there and do try to act more like a horror film, show some scares, create some tension, make better use of your surround noises! Anyway, it doesn't look like they tried to hard, I think it was a great idea that was not fully exploited, resulted in a half baked scrip and put on screen with no real intention of actually making another great horror that will remain up there, with the rest!
This one will seem long, boring and almost kinda useless. It should have done better. They had all the ingredients!
Cheers!
