    The Humans Delivered!
    I truly enjoyed this movie, it was well worth the wait since I watched it during a free watchathon.

    I've never been an Amy Schumer fan but I see why people are. All of the actors in this movie even the elderly Momo who only said gibberish was excellent!!

    Totally believable family dynamics, with snide remarks in between. You know how we throw little jabs at family members with love but still kind of mean-spirited.

    The visuals and the sound effects were the most important theatrical elements of the film. Without them it would be an ok film but with them it's almost perfect.

    I'm going to address the low ratings. Just because a movie says horror or thriller, doesn't always mean it's going to have a lot of blood, guts and gore.

    The jumpscares and visuals in this movie were enough to make me believe it fits in the horror category or at least the psychological thriller category. It put me in the mind of The Others.

    So if you're expecting blood, guts and gore you might want to pass on this one. But if you're expecting great acting with jump scares and great visuals for a limited set and a sense of eeriness overall definitely watch this one!

    I used subtitles due to the actors talking over each other or talking in the background.
