Viewing Notes

I’ve been wanting to revisit this since I saw it in the theater and I’m glad I finally took the opportunity to do so. I liked it the first time I saw it, but perhaps didn’t feel it was nearly as creepy/scary and I thought it was going to be. On second viewing I can say that it definitely felt scarier than the first time.

The comedic elements still play well and serve to really get the viewer to let their guard down. I still enjoyed the ambiguity of the last third of the film.
