Listen, I am not trying to say this movie should be nominated for any awards or anything. The plot is not particularly original, nor is it realistic, and it is at time exploitative. However, it does remain captivating throughout the entirety of its runtime, from start to finish. The acting and directing by the main cast is pretty great, and there is a consistently eerie feel and sense of dread. I have seen many argue that there is not enough suspense, and I would disagree. I think that despite the mysteries being solved minutes after they are proposed, the way the film plays out is consistently suspenseful. I would rewatch this movie again in an instant on a rainy day where I need a mindless thriller. 8/10 might be very generous, but I feel it needs it because the other reviews did not review this movie for what it was, and instead what they thought it should be.
