Oh man, don't sleep on this one, guys! I enjoyed this very much. Has that feel of like Hereditary where there's this sense of dread and fear of what's going to happen. Low on jump scares, but I never knew what was coming. I can't believe the RackaRacka guys made this. Seems like a lot of the good horror coming out lately has been from directors with comedy backgrounds. Jordan Peele, of course, Zach Cregger, and now these guys. I hope word of mouth gets around because this was a delight. Another A24 banger, as usual.
This is the best horror movie I’ve seen in a long time. All the scares feel earned. A24 is killing it when it comes to genuinely well made horror films. Don’t miss it.
