Summary - Really Great 4.5

HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP.

THIS MOVIE WAS SCARY.

I’m not good at scary movies — I get scared too easily, and should avoid them. I didn’t avoid this when I was alone in my hotel room one night and it was on HBO. I wish I hadn’t watched it, because it did exactly what it was supposed to — scared the shit out of me. I had to do the whole “change the channel because the suspense is too much” trick a few times, but then I turned it right back because I couldn’t bear to not watch and see what happened next.

Definitely not a good movie to watch if you’re home alone, or if there are a lot of windows in your house, or if you get scared easily because it will scare you. If it doesn’t, you have nerves of steel.
