VERY 80s. I was really excited about this one and I ended up being slightly disappointed. Let’s start with things I liked. I love the concept of getting lost in some crazy water park and I love the concept of it being super 80s and I love the slasher theme. I love the descriptions the author used in some of the more gory situations and I like that they didn’t shy away from making the killer impossible to beat. What I didn’t like was that the believability simply didn’t seem there. The plot didn’t fully make sense and there were questions that weren’t ever answered. Also I kind of wish the killer had more personality and motive
