Viewing Notes

Revisited since the newest DGG film BELIEVER is out this week and Ellen Burstyn returns for the first time in the franchise to reprise her role from the original.

Haven’t seen this since the DC theatrical release and went with my HS ex. It was a p awesome experience then. Ofc this movie still holds up and has some genuinely horrifying moments. Love how it takes its time to build up intensity.
