- vangh1June 1, 2026This movie shines in its ability to pervade nearly every moment with an ineffable, but nonetheless palpable sense of anxiety and dread, pulling the viewer's state of mind in lockstep with Bear's. And it's all the more impressive for the fact that there's two stark moments where all of it dissipates and feels super relaxed and chill: each time Bear and Sarah have a one on one. The dynamic the two of them have sitting on the floor of the music store, and then later in the car, you can just feel how comfortable and at ease they are with each other (and we can sense it in the latter scene even though we're dreading what is surely to come. And it does, and even having expected it, it's more horrible than we'd feared) which makes the anxiousness feel even more oppressive having gotten outside of it for fleeting moments. That said, despite the fact the movie does a tonally perfect job of instilling the protagonist's emotions into the viewer, it also makes it clear that he is not a sympathetic or good character at all. There are multiple moments where, even though it's far too late to manage anything that could be considered "the right thing," he's too scared and self-conserving to make anything less terrible for Nikki or Ian or Sarah or even himself, ironically. The movie's use of near dark and near silhouette is unmatched. I've never seen anything like it. Nikki being nearly completely obscured but with just enough detail to have your mind's eye fill in a sort of distorted, creepy, monstrous version of her was perfect. And those eyes shining out of the shadows. Amazing. I don't know if Inde Navarrette just has Jim Carrey level talent, or if CG was used to help exaggerate her expressions, but either way they were legendary, the absolute perfect mix of unsettling and silly. All of her expressions, mannerisms, movements, and line delivery always perfectly toed the line between bizarre and horrifying. And the movie doesn't make the mistake of feeling the need to do a huge lore dump in the third act, which is amazing. We absolutely get enough to draw some conclusions, without spoiling any of the mystery or distracting from the horror. Just a phenomenal horror film, top to bottom.
- ZokkiieJuly 12, 2026This movie came completely out of nowhere. I had never heard of it, went in with zero expectations, and it hit me like a damn Tsar Bomba. Absolute shocker. I'm a horror fanatic and genuinely can't remember the last time a movie actually scared me, let alone creeped me out this much. The atmosphere is suffocating, the tension never lets up, and it gets under your skin in a way very few horror movies manage to do. The lead actress is phenomenal and completely carries the movie. Her performance feels so raw and believable that it makes everything even more unsettling. Considering the almost non-existent budget, what they pulled off here is honestly incredible. This is the kind of horror movie that reminds you why you love the genre in the first place. I'd honestly call it a masterpiece.
- kernelgurl1d agoeasily five stars if i hadn’t already lived through it myself (triggering) once upon a time i mistook obsession for devotion and persistence for proof that i was loved. i used to look back on that relationship and feel grateful that someone had once wanted me so desperately, that someone had cherished me enough to never let go. but watching this made me realize that perhaps i had mistaken being wanted for being loved it was never love to him. it was a drug, something that fed his obsession and kept him coming back for more. he called it passion, but there is nothing romantic about being unable to leave someone alone it’s a strange kind of grief to look back at something you once held close to your heart and realize that what made you feel so loved was the very thing that kept you from seeing how little love there really was
- KillerRoo2d agoWell disturbing, both in premise and in presentation. Excellent use of lighting, shadow, & color to drive home the moment as tones & moods shift. Post movie discourse and discussion can be particularly interpersonally illuminating...
- Chris McSwain2d agoI really liked this movie. It was odd and left me with questions but it was very interesting. This movie left me with a new meaning of "Be careful what you wish for" Great film!
- Mikey SmithMay 18, 2026Thanks Curry, now I can’t sleep.
- SpinkystylesJune 15, 2026How do people think this shit is good? What a disappointment. One of the worst movies I have seen this year.
- BLOCKBUSTERRRRJuly 5, 2026After watching this movie Mom who has been ugly her entire life is gorgeous now!
- AlexJuly 2, 2026I honestly feel like a lot of people have forgotten how to form their own opinions. Too many just follow the hype and agree with the majority instead of saying what they actually think. I watched this movie twice because I wanted to give it a fair chance. Maybe it's because I grew up watching much scarier movies as a kid, but this just wasn't scary to me. The plot is also very simple and predictable. That said, I do think the acting was solid, and the production quality was good. It's a decent movie, but nowhere near the masterpiece people are making it out to be. For me, it's around a 6 or 7 out of 10, not a 9 or 10. Horror is subjective, and if you loved it, that's perfectly fine. I just don't think it's the "horror movie of the year" that so many people claim it is. I've seen far better horror films that left a much bigger impact. I'm sure this opinion will get downvoted because it goes against the popular consensus, but I'd rather be honest than pretend I loved something just because everyone else did.
- August 20, 2026I personally really liked this movie even though i felt disturbed, frustrated, disgusted, etc. Which is part of a "horror film" . After watching this movie, i watched a bunch of youtube videos analysing the characters, the acts, the actions, etc and it really was interesting to me. I watched the movie a second time 😅 i still feel disturbed by the film but hey it was quite awesome
Amazing acting and details
