Andrew Willis’s review:
The words that came to mind while watching this film were:
Atmospheric
Derivative
Patient
Throw-Back
Procedureal
It is a solid, simple film. And I mean that in a good way. I think it will be a disapointment to people who have been raised with gory, scare-a-minute tactics and cheap jump scares. This film is far too smart for that.
I liked The House of the Devil and it sounds like this one is similar, nice
I think I enjoyed The House of the Devil a little more than this film, but they are definitally cut from the same cloth.
Watched this a few days ago. Definitely no as good as The House of the Devil, I didn't really enjoy the payoff in this one. But the film is just so well made and it looks so great that it's hard to not like it.
