Another reason this movie is great is it has so many spots that make you think and where you connect dots about whatβs happening. This movie has to be my absolute favorite horror movie I have ever seen, and Iβve seen a lot. Itβs the perfect amount of jump scares and moments where you are rooting for Finny to get out. There are also moment where youβre thinking, βWhy would he do that?β I love this movie and give itΒ 9/10 pomegranate seedsΒ due to the realism it has throughout the movie and how everyone acts as if they were really in the 1980s with a kidnapper on the loose.
