This was fine. It was a quick read with some neat concepts that don't really get dug into. I didn't find Hetty particularly compelling and the plot beats were all pretty par the course for a story like this. Didn't really have the tension/descent to warrant the Lord of the Flies billing, honestly. 

I also found it distracting that
the bear was just a photocopy of the Annihilation bear?? No one wanted to make that a different animal during the editing process?


Something I might rec to a younger family member as gateway horror, but not something I will remember for long now that I'm finished it.
