Just got out of the theatre and I don't think I've seen a more tranquil and bloody slasher. Truly one of a kind and something I don't see enough people talking about is the sound design and lack of score. Makes everything that much more uneasy.
Spoilers section below!
The "casual movie goer" I'm pretty confident will absolutely hate this movie. It isn't the typical movie format and I think casual viewers will not appreciate it. I absolutely loved it. The Campfire and Car scene were the only real times we saw the victims, and I honestly think the movie would've worked equally as well if they had switched those two angles to never show us the actual victims as characters. The campfire scene could've just been over his shoulder as he stood there and listened to them and the car scene could just been a shot of her leg slowly bleeding more and more as they talked. I do understand the car scene though because it created so much tension. You were just waiting for Johnny to pop out. And that's what she'll live with for the rest of her life Everyone is talking about the yoga scene, but the Log Splitter scene made me have an adrenaline dump and get nauseous. No soundtrack save for the Walkman briefly, the radio in the car, and the credits song was a brilliant touch as well! I absolutely adore this movie. It was brilliant!!!
