    Heart in throat
    Heart in throat. Not only that but I actually had to look away a couple of times. I did have to remind myself that these are tween boys making these decisions. That way I could keep on watching it even though the little scared sweetheart kept opting to run away rather than deliver a second blow. Plus he was scared, real scared. When you add that to the de rigueur horror movie tripe, I mean, trope that victims make poor decisions you are left with a horror movie that throws a fright into you. What's not to love.
