In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
