I expected more out of this movie I think it could've been much more scarier for a horror, I think that without the profanity and the one death it seemed like a kids spooky movie. I do think that the scares could've been more impactful and yes this movie didn't focus on jump-scares much rather the creepy side of the "Grabber". I do think Ethan Hawke could've been more sinister than creepy it did feel like he wasn't try that hard and felt lacklustre at times. I did however like the idea of contacting the past children who had been killed to help him get out, also I found the death of the "Grabber" satisfying.
