solid
Honestly now one of my top 5, this movie although not scary was perfect in what it tried to be. If you have not watched it yet, stop reading reviews and give it a try it will be the best 93 mins of your night.
My favourite film of 2024, A Gripping, tense and well paced story that reminded me of BBC Ghostwatch from 1992. Quite often with Horrors, I become distracted by my phone if I feel the story is lagging, not so here; Very well acted with a show stopping final act.
great film
I still don’t understand the Galaxy Brains who are rating this film anything under than 3 stars. The scripting is layered, the performances are nuanced, there is a subtle tension through the whole film, all augmented by the 80s aesthetic. By far the best horror film on this website.
