Viewing Notes

Glad I finally got to see this after missing it last year when it screened at the Music Box Theater. This was the third movie for our Christmas Movie Night, and anticipated by all.

Not sure what others will classify this as, but it felt solidly in the horror camp so that’s what I put it down as.

I kept away from really knowing anything about this movie at all, amazingly, so went into this cold. It was different than I expected, but I still enjoyed it a lot. I’ll definitely have to let my kids watch it at some point.
