I tend to rate movies based on my enjoyment of them, more than the more technical values. That being said, we really liked this for the lack of clichéd jump scares and gratuitous gore. The "Pyewacket" bits, though few and far between and a mere matter of seconds, were so well done, that in places it reminded me a bit of the first Insidious, and perhaps some J-horror, like The Ring/The Grudge. The modulating voice was a nice touch. Also, the pacing was a bit like Hereditary.
Don't get me wrong; this isn't going to win any major awards (like I expect Hereditary to), but I did enjoy it and Ontario was a worthy backdrop. Plus, I'm a firm believer in "the real threat comes from the things you can't see" .
Love Steve Peck (ha), hope he does more creepiness.
