Viewing Notes

The second half of a double feature at the Sie Film Center with friends, the first of which was A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Gavin and I had seen this at Stanley Film Fest (it was our top movie of the fest) and were eager to both see it again and introduce it to others, so it was great that we got to take some additional friends.

I think I liked this even more the second time around. The psychological impact was even greater this time and I felt like the film really gelled for me. I was still blown away by how amazing the child actor was who played her son. He’s such a screaming banshee of terror and adds so much believability to the film.

All-in-all a pretty cool double feature night at the movies!
