4.0

the first like 20% ish, i wasn’t too hooked on it and then we get to the tapes and i was so intrigued, didn’t want to put it down.  the twist i had a hunch about after a certain part ( no spoilers here ) but i wasn’t entirely sure and i didn’t totally get it right but god damn this ended up being good.  

i do think the ending was a tiny bit rushed but i didn’t mind it, movies do the same thing.  overall it was great, reminded me a lot of ready or not, which is one of my favorite movies.

Kept me hooked to the end. I thought I'd guessed the ending but it wasn't what I thought.

Bit of a slog tbh, but the ending had me on the edge of my seat! The whole plot however was quite far flung.
