good solid fun. Emile Hirsch delivers as always
A little wonky with a few plot holes, but still decent.
Very good. Real hidden gem.
I just stumbled upon this and it was a very pleasant surprise.
I had some floor-low expectations about this one, just looking for some noise to fall asleep to. It’s a better movie than that, and it kept catching my interest with its gory plot twists. I didn’t see that ending coming, even though a lot of it was kind of predictable. I particularly enjoyed the lighting and the camera work, reminiscent of lighting in ‘80s or ‘90s slasher movies. It’s an overall decent movie, though it might not live up to the hype.
