A Good Yarn Weakened by Advocacy

The story of this couple and their dog beset by spirits in the wilds of Idaho is really engaging and suspenseful. But the constant intrusion of almost a survivalist philosophy is driven home with too much detail, as was the protagonist’s history in Afghanistan. I skipped over large sections of that. The resolution is too contrived in the manner of Shyamalan’s attempt to draw obvious fell good morals in his movies.
