Finally!

Is this a perfect movie? No. But I will say, as an avid horror fan, that this one has been the first in years that genuinely made me feel unsettled watching it. Some of the jump scares were predictable, but most were very sneaky and totally got me. The acting by the lead especially was well done; it was easy to feel her despair as days passed and she tried to figure things out.

It reminds me a bit of It Follows in the sense that there's this "thing" going from person to person, sometimes taking on the appearance of someone you know, and sometimes not.

It's not that often you see the protagonist lose (they always seem to figure it out just in time 🙄), and it was actually refreshing.
