An absolutely enjoyable, fast-paced horror mystery thriller.
This has a great storyline, although it is unrealistic. The character and world building is so surreal that your brain is tricked into thinking you are read-watching a slasher-horror movie.
My high rating is partially biased as I grew up on the 90s/noughties slasher horror movies (IKWYDLS, Scream, Urban Legends, Halloween, & with Freddy & Jason) and loved watching 70s-90s horror movies (Leprechaun, Hellraiser, The Howling, Children of the Corn, Pumpkinhead, Phantasm)
