Very, very gory. Check trigger warnings. I thought it was kind of predictable but I loved the sister relationship.

Pretty decent thriller. The twists were cool but the ending was a little underwhelming, predictable. Definitely a page turner though, and I was thoroughly entertained. Some funky off-comments about POC in the beginning as well… couldn’t tell what the purpose of that was.
