I'd give this 4 1/2 skulls if I could, but since I'm stuck with whole numbers, five will do. Overall, solid for a supernatural thriller with great direction, camera work, cinematography, and performances. Script is pretty compelling right up until it isn't -- the last ten minutes -- but I didn't hate the ending, I was just a *bit* let down by it. All in all, though, a solid story that decided to err on the side of inference over exposition, which I can respect. Those demanding gore, jump scares, or setpiece kills will be disappointed - just know this going in. If it isn't for you, that's fine. Just don't leave a one-skull review because it's not Terrifier.
A mixed bag, it felt like a lot of the first half didn't know what it wanted to be, but once it finds its footing around the end, it picks up. The main actress did really well in this for what she's given.
Enjoyed watching this. The film allowed the story to play out which isn’t always the case with some films.
loud noises scare me :( needs more suspense
