This is the problem with horror movies:
Everyone knows what’s coming next but actions have momentum, every decision an equal and justified reaction. Just because you know you should, doesn’t mean that you can, stop.
A fantastic novella taking and accepting the horror genre for all it’s clichés and tropes with (some) extremely self aware characters that still manages to be spine-chillingly creepy. I was very glad to find a horror with multiple female-presenting characters and no reference to SA.
While I expected a good spook, I was pleasantly surprised by the cultural knowledge packed into this. Definitely one I would recommend to fans of supernatural horror.
