When he's first introduced, the amount of icing on Tucker's cupcake changes between shots. Additionally, he finishes eating it before it briefly re-appears in another shot, and he eats it again. See more »
I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through this movie. It brought me back to when I first watched The Exorcist as a young boy.
I'm actually quite surprised at the low rating here though. Perhaps I thought it was brilliant because I really had no idea what the movie was about before watching it. I tend to avoid all previews and articles prior to watching movies so I go in fresh without any clues on what's coming. That behavior may have served me well with this one.
Honestly speaking, I jumped out of my chair a few times and even more satisfying, I experienced a few prolonged bouts of sustained horror. I sat there in total fear at what was transpiring right in front of me which I absolutely loved.
What an incredible surprise of a film and I'm still buzzing as I write this review. Job very well done. I can't remember the last time a horror film had such an effect on me. Bravo!
