Facebook post by my asshole friend

Went to go see "Don't Breathe" with my man yesterday and I think it's safe to say we're both thoroughly confused by how ridiculous the film actually was.
We obviously went in with low hopes but happy as it had/has so much hype and good reviews. But the first half was incredibly boring while the second half was just a huge "what?" Was this made to be insanely frustrating and hilarious or was it suppose to be, and emphasis on the "suppose to be," a high quality horror/thriller movie to scare the life out of me?
Without giving too much away, it was definitely worth the money, but not something I can define by "it met my expectations" or "it didn't meet my expectations." My expectations were thrown against the wall and instead, I was just either really annoyed, laughing my ass off at the plot twist, or holding on to my lover with him also holding on to me desperately out of pure, half amused disgust, at the plot twist. At one point I literally asked everyone around me "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Also I'd like to mention that we had the blessing to watch this at a theater in Crenshaw. Not that we would have given a shit if we were alone on it - but we were both SO happy with everyone else watching the movie with us. The commentary was A+. Like 10/10 we would go back to the same theater and listen to what everyone has to say. The sass and attitude and the "goddammit you stupid fuckin' hoe, RUN" probably made the entire experience. Sad that we couldn't chime in the same way, for valid and respectful reasons.
To wrap this up, we definitely walked out talking about how it's really hard to come by awesome horror movies these days, that it wasn't "scary," and the reviews were oh so terribly wrong. BUT that it was an amazing laugh with the tiniest bit of adrenaline. I recommend it if that's what you like, or need some gross gross gross humor for the day. 
For those who have seen it: it's like basting/stuffing a turkey...
