Upgraded to five stars on a second viewing. VERY SPOILERY REVIEW FOLLOWS. My second viewing in a week not only confirms this as a near perfect horror movie, but also how well constructed it is - there's set up and pay off that's impossible to spot the first time round, but one you know Crispin and Felix are behind it all, you can see Felix constantly setting everyone else up - particularly in the scene where Amy is tricked into running into the wire. A.J. Bowen (I think that's his name, the guy who looks like a chubby Ryan Reynolds) gives a brilliant performance - good the first time round, but note perfect once you know what his motivation is; there's so many tiny ticks, glances and subtle facial expressions - much like Spacey in The Usual Suspects, it's a perfect twist performance, one that seems to transform on repeat viewings. Oh, and how did I'm miss that the documentary maker was Ti West last time?
