So yeah I initially passed on this movie when it was first released due to my cautious nature towards horror movies. The reason I changed my mind was because I had made the decision to skip One Battle After Another. Basically an adult version of Hocus Pocus, a group of kids from the same class (which includes Thanos' son) go missing in the middle of the night, with only one child remaining. As the teacher, unfortunately Julia Garner is taking the heat for it.
This is probably the most well-written movie I've seen this year. There's not really a protagonist in this film and the story is shown from the perspectives of different people, and this should've been convoluted but it came together beautifully. I can't imagine that being easy to write, so I really applaud the Mr. Cregger (who's also the director) for his work.
One thing I've noticed as I watch more horror movies is that the quiet and subtle ones are the most effective and scary. Alien is a really good example of that (Quiet Place probably is too, but I haven't seen those movies yet). The scares in this movie were FANTASTIC. The movie knew just the right time to attack, it was very wise with its scares. Aunt Gladys is the stuff of nightmares, worse than the Sanderson Sisters combined.
Lastly, this movie does have its gory and intense moments. This unsurprisingly also adds to the scares. Several intense moments actually did not involve scares or gory, which gives the movie some variety as well.
To sum it all up, this movie was amazing. Thanks For Watching.
