I made the mistake of watching this at 3am, alone. Horror movies rarely leave an impact on me aside from being entertaining and sometimes providing fun things to talk about afterwards when watching with others. There are only a handful that I would watch a second time. The ones I enjoy typically have a cerebral element to them that go far beyond the jump scares. Slasher films are absolutely silly, imo.This film, however, is in a league of its own. It left me with one of the most creepy and unsettling feelings of any horror flick I’ve ever watched, which is what a great film in this genre is supposed to do. It’s hard to explain why it’s so unsettling without giving anything away, however, I can say that I don’t recommend watching it alone at 3am if you’re hoping to get any sleep afterwards. 😅
