“Expectations were low going into this film, after all the below average reviews online.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey neednu0026#39;t have beenu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor me, one of the more realistic films in the horror genre. Yes, some lingering scenic shots were a bit much, not every character had its arc completed, and the time jumps showing previous victims felt like they could have been worked in a bit better.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the film, as based on true events, doesnu0026#39;t go to a place with insane twists and turns and wild jump scares. Instead it builds to a climax that feels real and as if you were in the protagonists POV and the ending is satisfying, which a lot of horror films fail to accomplish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYouu0026#39;re really rooting for the lead girl and feel for her.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf youu0026#39;re expecting a dramatic twist where they unmask the baddie and you want a u0026quot;it was X all along!u0026quot; then maybe give this a miss.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCracking soundtrack too, both with the 70s music and the original compositions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWould recommend :)”
