When I saw the trailer about a month ago i was pleasantly surprised with its promise shown, and even more surprised and bewildered it wasn't getting a major theatrical release. Having Eli Roth produce, and Beck and Woods directing/writing hot off their momentum from writing A Quiet Place, you would think the studios would have been confident enough and should've have because this was higher quality than most big budget horror's released this year. The film starts out in usual fashion and introduces us to what appear to be standard teenage horror characters that were definitely more tolerable than most other characters in other films yet still fit the cliches. As we get a bit more introduced, you can tell that one of them has more emotional depth to her which is an important factor for audience relateability that's overlooked these days in most horror films. When things progress in the plot we are introduced to the main setting in which the mayhem unfolds and for the low budget they were working with, they executed the set designs flawlessly and creatively. The haunted house/maze aesthetic is elevated to new heights of fright through wide arrays of different set pieces, colorizations, and overall foreboding environments. They absolutely knocked it out of the park with the colorizations and camerawork as well, and it added so much to the already supreme tension. When the antagonists start showing up with their intentions, the creepiness and chaos takes hold and never lets up building into a brutal conclusion that honestly will stick with a lot of people with its ultimately disturbing reveals and shocking plot turns. This film really deserved to be released in a major theatrical format and i honestly believe it would have been a hit at the box office. I expected it to be solid but did not expect it to be my favorite horror film of the year. It has so much tension, atmosphere, and an incredibly visceral visual style. It has potential to become an underrated cult classic once word spreads and a definitive go to haunted house/halloween film. I really hope Beck and Woods stay in the horror genre because they have some clear cut talent in creating tense atmosphere that oozes through the screen.… Expand

Finally a good slasher movie from the 2010s!! I'm enjoying the rise of this genre that's like, escape room slasher? Now I'm reminded of Saw, so maybe it's more a comeback of sorts...

Now I'm reminded of Saw, so maybe it's more a comeback of sorts... Either way, it's been a bit hit (Escape Room) or miss (Blood Fest, Hell Fest) for me personally, but I was very pleasantly surprised by this one! There's still shallow characters and terrible dialogue, but at least in this movie the final girl has a good backstory, the scares are built up very well, the sets are incredible and the gore is great! Definitely worth a watch if you like horror and/or slasher movies!… Expand

For a simple and well-known proposal in the genre, is well above average in it's execution, which leads to the feeling that they could believe more in the development of the script.

If, on the one hand, they agreed to work with the generic and the cliché, they took care of the part that matters most to horror fans. It's one thing to have the courage to go through the houses of the amusement parks, it's another thing to look at the rooms in the residence of this movie.… Expand

It's a shame this film didn't get a wide theatrical release. This film was directed by the writers of A Quiet Place, but I found it far more entertaining than that overrated film. This film is chillingly effective and wholly satisfying, and makes the most of its simple premise. Even though most people would consider it a horror film, I would consider it a thriller since it doesn't have any supernatural or mythical elements. If you love horror films and thrillers, you won't want to miss this one. Since it takes place on Halloween, it's a perfect choice to watch in October.… Expand

For an american teen horror movie pretty good. Most scenes are plausible. Good for a Halloween horror movie night.

I cut "A quiet place" off after about 20 minutes and decided to watch this movie instead. It's really good! It's your typical slasher film with a group of teenagers getting picked off one at a time but there were some interesting features. ItI cut "A quiet place" off after about 20 minutes and decided to watch this movie instead. It's really good! It's your typical slasher film with a group of teenagers getting picked off one at a time but there were some interesting features. It kind of reminded me of the escape room movie, like how it keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. It had similar themes to every other slasher movie but it was highly entertaining. I wasn't looking for a deep, dramatic movie- I wanted cheap fun and I got it to the max. Loved this movie.… Expand
