• i do think this film has been overhyped slightly. it was good, don't get me wrong, but its comparison to sinners based on the rotten tomatos score had me very very excited - but it sadly fell short for me:( • script was good and very clever - lots of funny moments which felt natural in the film. the plot was a nice addition to the kind of horror we've had in 2025 + i do think it brought a fun pacing idea to what could have felt like a typical film • acting was good. filming/ cinematography was good too • i did enjoy it as a film - it was tense enough without it being unbearable (like 'bring her back' was to me), had lots of fun ideas that i think they did well, but it definitely wasn't the horror film of the year • i do think that at least 40 minutes of it could have been taken away with no impact? the middle was completely vacant of plot and just served us more of an insight into two side characters without any true meaning. felt juvenile and was completely misplaced for me • i do still rate it high because it did deserve it - i just felt like it was missing something to push it up there with the best
