Viewing Notes

Did dinner and a movie with a bunch of friends, had a good time! I liked the movie, well paced and certainly didn’t feel as long as it actually was. Thankful that the previews didn’t really give much of anything away too. Darker and creepier than I thought it was going to be.

Very surprised the studio gave Goddard the money to make this and wide release it. But I’m very glad they did!

And not whittle down the running time! Kind of amazing in this day and age.

Great point! And that runtime didn’t bother me bc it was so well constructed. Normally I’d exit for a bathroom break when it’s that long but I didn’t want to miss anything!
