Viewing Notes

My first feature from the JFF Online 2022 selection. Needed something that was a “thriller” bc I was so exhausted after a Monday of work. This definitely kept me engaged. Really like the first two thirds when the story could’ve gone several different directions. When it picks a lane in the third is when it softens up and becomes less compelling. Could totally see this story getting remade in the US. I love the clown mask and how that character moves.
