Go in knowing it can't meet the hype

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2019)

Perfectly watchable little tale on the Horror-thriller spectrum.
Could have easily been a fair bit better than it is with a script that is somehow very subtle in some areas and painfully on the nose in others. Missed some potentially excellent fridge horror moments.
But I like the story, it's fresh, well paced and has well developed characters. The racial aspect seems more cosmetic than substantial to me, not that that really takes away much.
I feel the script deserved a more experienced director. It's not badly directed but there are several scenes and instances that just feel naively realized, especially regarding the generic score that gives the audience a heads up about what they're supposed to be wary of which kills a lot of the horror potential.
But despite the many wrong notes, the film is essentially made of superior stuff and if only we could maybe get a differently edited version ,this could be a masterpiece.
