Horror in its prime is always a delight to watch. I'm saddened by the fact that I didn't watch this film on the big screen, since the thrill and tension would've been even more enhanced than it already was watching from a laptop.
The plot was absolutely haunting due to the - sometimes very unexpected - disturbing sequences. Performances and a petrifying story kept me immersed from the beginning 'till the end. This film didn't feel like a cliché "jumpscare" horror film but instead one that keeps you on the edge of the seat with merely the thought of such scares possibly happening, or worse.
I'm glad I didn't watch any trailers for this film nor watched any reviews and plot summaries, since the film is full of juicy surprises to keep you interested throughout this crazy ride. My mind put my expectations on a different path which made the actual plot of the story feel like a welcome surprise.
What also added to my immersion and high-stress level as I watched this one is the clever cinematography. I adored the point of view shots with the seemingly natural lightning from cellphones & flashlights. The ominious set design and exploration of it while remaining - scarily enough - realistic makes the experience all the better.
I definetely recommend this one for fans of disturbing horror that don't mind a few surprises along the way.
