Movies with stories about main characters having to first overcome their inner demons in order to then deal with an actual real situation they must face up to, have become such a cliché that I can only have a very indifferent, sometimes even dismissive attitude towards them. The movie Ropes, unfortunately, offers nothing more than that it throws things at the main character to cause her downfall, but then just leaves her drowning in a hopeless situation, the watching of which is neither even a bit interesting, entertaining, nor rewarding. Also, I find absolutely no enjoyment in watching horror movies which largely feature animals suffering (even if it is purely fictitious). This was an extremely unpleasant viewing for me.
