Some of you guys may have heard of it, been getting attention on the sea of internets for the past month or so. One thing I'll say, the journalists writing about the trailer itself are complete retards. I'm convinced very few people know the difference between being 'scary' and being 'tense.' What they call "The scariest trailer of all time" (who knew this was even a category, right?!) is to a movie that isn't even scary. Is it tense? Yes. Atsmospheric? Yes. Suspenseful? Yes. Creepy as hell? Yes. But none of these are the same as being scary. I appreciate that someone showed me this trailer because of those idiot journalists, but holy shit they have the thinking skills of chimps.
Anyway, about the movie itself. It was a good watch, doesn't really bullshit around with useless information, leaves certain things ambiguous so they don't waste time, the acting feels natural, and the trailer is actually pretty misleading. About halfway through, the movie completely changes direction and keep you guessing for a while. Always appreciated. I don't want to spoil too much, I personally recommend it. Not the best suspense thriller I've seen, but definitely one of the most well done in a long time.
