... As long as you don't mind that it's similar to other movies like it, kind of a mash-up of several different horror sub-genres... Without posting any spoilers I can't go into detail, it is predictable even with the extra twist at the end. I didn't realize that the director was also the writer until I got on here to post a review and read the other review.
The overall quality is really decent, I was pleasantly surprised. The acting is good, the score is good and not overbearing. The writer/director is good, I am not familiar with him but would be open to seeing more from him.
Is it an original idea? No. However, that in itself is nearly an impossible feat now days. However, it's not a remake that I am aware of so it does have originality in that aspect. It is a fairly slow burn, but kept a steady pace with enough happening to hold my attention. Not gory or high tech (thank goodness! I know my CGI rant gets old). They kept it classic, clean and believable using mostly the actors, ambiance/mood building and some blood thrown in for good measure. A good space/time filler for a horror movie marathon with friends. I would not recommend it to those that need the gore factor to enjoy a movie. If you can appreciate slower, more psychological, mood builders with small, well executed jump scares here and there and minimal blood/carnage then you will be fine. I personally enjoyed this movie.
Clean as far as no sex or nudity, there is a girl/girl kiss at the very end if that is bothersome to some - for those with kids. There is a lttle blood spatter but nothing gory. Could be creepy, possibly scary for children under 12.
