This film, despite the generally negative reviews that it has received, is genuinely one of my favorite horror films. The film provides a fresh take on the slasher genre, where we never really know who is who or what is what until the film's closing moments, all done with a cast of relative unknowns. The cast, led by Isaac Jay's Noah and Bevin Bru's Camille, gives us a series of spirited performances that truly convey the increasing terror of the group as they are terrorized by a supernatural entity. A foreboding atmosphere, convincing performances, and a deeply disturbing end sequence all contribute to the level of success I attribute to this movie, and I will be making a return trip to Netflix to watch this film again in the future.
