Marcela Notes: I literally can't believe this has such a low RT score?! Its so fucking good and unique?! That something could be made with such a low budget by a brand new name to horror directing who bagged some incredible actors to be in his first film?! I wish I could have watched this as an adult for the first time and properly appreciated it- I remember being underwhelmed as a 14 year old but now it all just kind of blows my mind a little. Love it or hate it, but you can't deny its the start to a huge shift in horror for Hollywood and the beginning of one of the biggest horror franchises of our time, soooo xoxo
