Viewing Notes

Anchored by great character actors Ford Rainey and Patrick Kilpatrick (who’s maybe not so great here) and a fun creature and backstory. I watched the Director’s Cut but I’ll probably watch the Producer’s Cut (with commentary) too to see just how bad it is compared to the DC.

Loved the setting and the story but you definitely have to suspend all pretense of plausibility (NO ONE can hear any of the sounds coming from the cellar under the house?!). Easy enough to do though, because no one’s here for a plausible story!
