If you are film fan, you already know that one of the rarest kinds of films to stumble upon is a low-budget indie that actually delivers the goods. Especially when, as in this case, the film attempts to compete existentially with a known Hollywood blockbuster (Jumanji, on my list of 165+ best alltime films, check it out!) Especially when the credits show that the writer and the star are one and the same, usually a major red flag. Well, in this case it all comes together in a very pleasing way. The characters are relatable, the dialog is natural, and the horror creeps in slowly. A keeper.
