Viewing Notes
I love the first 15 minutes or so of this movie, which is entirely centered around the stalking and killing of the first victim. It takes its time and does a great job of ratcheting up the tension. The rest of the movie never quite lives up to that potential but it’s still a fun watch. I wish they’d done more with the old theater since they seemed to heavily hint at it being integral to the story early on.
