Via Netflix

So this was way better than I thought it’d be.  It’s shot really well, the effects are mostly convincing, and there’s this sense of something nasty throughout the film.  It lost me a little bit at the end if only because the lead starts making some dumb moves.  The other thing that bugged the crap out of me was the quick cuts they kept doing to try to force this otherworldly feeling to the main slasher which we were already getting by the way they lit the scenes and his movement and ability.  Overall though, a fun and thought out slasher.
