Such a promising start, such a disappointment overall. Anyone who knows anything about me knows I have a questionably unhealthy obsession with horror movies, so this was an easy, immediate pickup upon discovery. The first half is SO good and exactly what I wanted, but we take a hard turn about halfway through and it turns into something completely different. I’m pretty sure this is supposed to be some sort of statement about festering trauma? But as we’ve previously established I’m terrible with and hate metaphors. I wanted a fun, creepy thriller about horror movies and what I got was …… not that.
