Reviews
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Blistering performances.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
