“This film scared the heck out of my wife when we saw it at the premiere at a local independent theater. It gave her nightmares for weeks after viewing. So right off I am recommending this film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have seen many horror films in my time. I actually donu0026#39;t even really consider this a horror film (in the traditional sense). This film is marketed as a horror film and definitely has horror elements, but there is a deeper story inside of it. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe most terrifying things in the film are not the u0026quot;jump scaresu0026quot; but the haunting images that linger with you afterwards. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film successfully gives you the sense of dread and unease that donu0026#39;t happen a lot in modern horror films. You can tell there are a lot of throwbacks to early 70u0026#39;s-era horror because the story builds before battering you with scary images. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe entire cast is great and every person has a reason to be there; there is no fodder or filler even in the extras. Go check it out!”
