Watched this on New Year’s Eve after midnight so technically this was my first film of 2026. The next day I got stranded in Vegas due to bad weather, lost money on a bad beat in poker, slept on the airport floor, missed a day of work, got desperately sick, then a week later I was in a car accident (I’m fine).
This being my first movie of 2026 turned out to be an omen.

Funny watching this in the middle of May but there we go. I liked it but it never quite went from good to great. Soundtrack was fun though, movie punks are so funny

Could’ve been even better if they focused more on a psychological thriller angle then the slasher, but this was pretty fun. This movie predicted incels?
