Guess I'll be the one

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2018)

I was not impressed by this movie. I see theres only 6 other reviews and they all seem to think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Now I'm not saying it's bad, it isn't, I just didn't think it was anything special. I will give it credit for not relying on jump scares like most horror nowadays does. I saw what they were going for, that dark, high tension, more of a psychological scare, it just didn't get there for me. And then towards the end it seemed to turn into an 80s satanic panic movie which made for great comedy but not horror.
The actors were fine but no standouts for me. The only one I knew was Ann Dowd who I loved from The Leftovers. Her character was a bit of a cliche and she played it that way. I think that was on purpose, if so she did it well. If not, well.... sorry Ann, I still love ya. One casting that really bugged me was the guy who played Peter, he's supposed to be in high school but the kid looks 30! In one scene he tells his mom "we're not even old enough to drink" and I'm thinking - kid you would have no trouble buying alcohol.
Am I glad I saw it? Sure, especially an advanced screening, always fun to see movies before other people. Would I bother to see it again? Nope. I think my suggestion would be to not spend the money to go to the theater. I'm sure it will be on dvd/blu/ondemand soon enough, just rent it. It's worth a rental
