Hooptober 31/31
7 2nd films of franchises (7/7)
I'm reviewing this kinda late but I did in fact watch it on Halloween, successfully completing Hooptober. And just like last year with Sleep Has Her House, the last thing I watched was my favorite of the whole month. Man I am not great at writing reviews, glad to be done with that part lol
Hooptober 30/31
2 films with a black director or predominantly black cast or lead (2/2)
All my thoughts were in British for 30 minutes after watching
Hooptober 20/31
Pretty underwhelming. The backdrop of the Iran-Iraq War gives it a thematic/metaphorical edge over most modern horror movies, so it at least feels unique in that regard. The problem is that it's a slow burn that burns way too slow - when it finally gets to the last ten minutes, the horror is so generically presented that the epilogue-less ending feels anticlimactic.
