7/10

A cult film if there ever was one

This movie is textbook, to a T, the very definition of a cult film. This is the most "culty" film I've seen since rocky horror.

I don't really want to say much (or compare this to other films) because anything written will give expectations and this film is absolutely best if you go in blind and with zero expectations. I would really, really recommend avoiding all reviews and any discussion of this film prior to seeing it. If you're a horror fan this movie should be at the top of your list.

I will say that the person who made the trailer deserves a major award because the trailer gives away *nothing* at all, which is exactly how a trailer should be and trailers like this are so rare.

7/10.

Trivia
Richard Brake shared a story on Instagram about attending a late night screening of the movie, noting that a particular group of teenagers sitting a few rows behind him were really into the film and were terrified. When it was over, they were leaving the theater, using the flashlights on their phones, when the light accidentally caught Brake's face, the teens recognized him from the movie, then screamed and ran from the room in genuine fear.

Goofs
One of the characters drives an electric Nissan Leaf, bizarrely it has engine and ignition sounds dubbed over its movement.

Quotes
Tess: Nope.

Crazy credits
SPOILER: There are three mini-scenes after the initial smash cut to "Written & Directed by Zach Cregger" credit, showing Tess sitting up in the street, walking away from the bodies, and limping away from the water tower as dawn breaks.
