As a few other negative reviewers have mentioned I’m perplexed that this has been hyped up the way it has as a slasher or even a creature feature. It is not that.
What we get instead is the delusions of a teenage boy with plenty of creepy comments about women too.
I don’t recommend this read and the only reason it’s getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the beginning and when there was a sense of mystery was interesting but it just goes downhill from there.
