POSITIVES…
Really liked the premise, the set-up, the build-up, the plot reveals, and how it all comes to a head.
The pacing and the narrative is just right, and kept me engaged throughout the whole thing.
I appreciated the fact that the story does take chances in how far it’s willing to go with the premise.
Loved how this movie didn’t rely on jump scares, but instead did some great camera edits and creepy visual tricks.
Cast is perfectly good in their roles, and a huge shout out to Zarah Mahler’s acting work here.
Kudos to the special creature effects team. Excellent effective work.
Those of you who enjoy the more fun horror movies that you would see in the 1980s, will find this a very easily likeable watch.
NEGATIVES…
Considering the horror premise, the lighter tone makes it closer to being more like a fun adventure flick, which will probably disappointed pure horror fans.
Kinda wished it didn’t go back to the tired well of there being the cliche bullies that pick on our protagonist.
Relies a little too much on some plot conveniences to keep an efficient narrative.
For that matter, there are some plot decisions that I would say are legitimate plot holes, and I wished were addressed more than they actually were.
P.S….
