From its Silent Hill styled introduction, I knew Luke Scott‘s Morgan was going to have a “twist” and within ten minutes I knew what it was. Don’t worry, there’s no spoilers in this review. I went in to this film having only read a synopsis. It seemed like something in the vein of Ex Machina but with less tech and more horror. Unfortunately, the first half played out as a slow and methodical drama with some convoluted attempts at becoming a suspense/mystery. It did finish with some blood, gore and chase scenes, but the film never really found its niche. It was more like a plodding crime drama that decided to segue into a teen horror film.
