    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The brand of cigarettes that Mrs. Martinez smokes, Morley, is not a real brand, but it has been a popular fake cigarette brand in TV shows and movies since 1960, when it appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho (1960). Perhaps its best-known use was as the brand preferred by the "Cigarette Smoking Man" on The X-Files (1993).
    • Goofs
      Gasoline cannot be siphoned directly from one car to another. It simply does not work that way.
    • Crazy credits
      Season 2 episode "The Battle for Red Hook" has an extended animated opening credit sequence.
    • Connections
      Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Jeffrey Tambor/Corey Stoll/Hailee Steinfeld/Nate Morton (2016)

    7/10
    Great watch if you don't nit-pick too hard
    Yes, it has its flaws. It's full of plot holes and annoying over-used tropes. Yes, the kid character is incredibly annoying but I guess he drives the plot forward. Yes, the actor playing the kid is terrible and only has two emotions: Squinting with his mouth closed and squinting with his mouth open. Yes, in classic horror movie fashion everybody takes horrible decisions, they don't make sure their mortal enemy is actually dead, they go on silly speeches before going for the kill, allowing the antagonist to escape.

    But overall, it was pretty enjoyable and different.

    Great acting, apart from the kid.

    7/10.
