Scalper

A desperate young couple, drowning in debt, takes a job as "scalpers" at a remote campsite, illegally selling coveted spots to unsuspecting tourists. However, their parasitic scheme takes a terrifying turn when they discover the campsite is run by a sinister cult with a dark secret and even darker intentions.

Scalper received a mixed to negative reception from critics and audiences, with many finding its premise intriguing but ultimately underdeveloped and predictable. The film's execution, pacing, and the handling of its horror elements were frequently cited as weaknesses.

• The film struggles to deliver on its promising premise, often resorting to clichés.
• Despite a decent cast, the narrative fails to create genuine tension or scares.
• The horror elements feel derivative and lack originality.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate that while some appreciated the dark premise and the performances of the lead actors, many felt the movie was a missed opportunity with a weak plot and uninspired horror sequences.

The film was notably one of the final projects Juno Temple worked on before her acclaimed role in the series 'Ted Lasso'.
