9/10
Perfect blend of horror and fun.
3 January 2023
Another film by this director that has a beautifully judged tempo, and mix of very funny dialogue, beautiful natural performances and a genuine feeling of dread slowly creeping into things.

Don't be fooled by the title, which could lead you to believe this is just another teen horror film, because it has more substance than you may expect.

It has a similar naturalistic feel to the director's earlier film There Are Monsters, and if you've seen that you will appreciate that this is no bad thing.

It's so good to see a picture trust it's audience to be ok with slower progressions rather than the slam bang never ending sequence of set-pieces we usually get.

There's character here.

In some ways similar to Ty West's films, which I also love.

The director says his next film is going to be pretty dark, and I promise you I will be looking out for that one!

I really highly recommend this movie to everyone, but particularly to discerning fans of the genre.
