    Edit
    • Trivia
      Technically this was the #1 theatrical film in North America for five weeks in May 2020, though this was by virtue of being one of the only films playing, as most theaters were closed and most films were out of circulation due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    • Goofs
      During the dinner at the start of the film the Connect 4 grid changes between Ben lines. This is actually because Nathan was playing the game, which isn't revealed until later.

    Lots of horror movies popping out but this one stands out
    I really like this movie its very well made the gore everything the witch is very mean and spares no one.

    The effects where also very good. There is a lot of horror movies being made theses days and to be honest 99% are really bad but this one was a great surprise and stands out from the pack.
