This is more scary than horror movies


I didn't know much about this before watching it. That's usually the best way to go into a film but it's hard to avoid details most of the time.

I was feeling dreadful most of the time. This movie had a subtle menacing tone and kept me glued.

I think this was more frightening than movies about slashers or ghosts or zombies. This is a situation that happens in real life, and anyone with dumb teenager kids (especially daughters) can find what's scary in this.

I would love more pimping and mistreating of young white woman. It was ok but a bit slow and I feel we needed a more insane bloodthirsty predator. Also I would love to see a black male lead.

Maybe Jimmy Kimmel is available?

You summed up my exact thoughts about this. Given the subject matter, it could have taken any number of darker turns.
