I'll start my review with a short story that inspired me to review the title in the first place. My wife and I are huge movie buffs - we average 2-3 movies daily on workdays and 5-6 movies weekends. I use IMDb to keep track of my history and she uses another platform that offers similar services. We both remember every single movie we have watched and practically when and where we watched it. I might forget some details here and there but my wife will remember and vice versa. This has been our life for the last 10 years or so.
Now, this movie. We watched it on the morning of June 2021 but we kept pausing the movie every 10 minutes to ask each other if we have seen this movie before. We have both had this strong feeling of remembering the plot when it happens but we don't actually remember watching the movie and neither of us has it rated on our movie tracking apps. We could swear that we saw the movie when something happens but we couldn't remember anything happening before it actually happens. Very, very bizarre experience that we've never had.
So, the movie plot revolves around mysterious events in a small town, USA over the course of an evening. A police officer finds someone bleeding on the side of the road and takes to the hospital. In the hospital some of the people start to act crazy and very weird stuff start happening.
This is as much as I can with giving away any spoilers but I can say with faith that this is a movie that has to be watched by all horror movie fans. It's a bit too gory at times and a bit too creepy at other times (guess the movie makers wanted to please all types of horror movie goers) but overall it certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time wondering what the hell is going on.
Relatively, none of the main characters is a famous actor (which is a huge plus) but the acting is superb. The dialogue and plot are very well made. Best of all, the plot twist is something that I didn't see coming - the movie makers were creative enough to go into a route that's rarely well travelled.
9/10 because I only give 10 to absolute classics that have or will survive the test of time but this is certainly a movie I'd recommend to everyone I know.
