Rewatch and Rewatch

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2019)

This movie jumped straight into my top 5 horror films. Two things first: set design, and color! These are two really critical elements of the film, and I would encourage you to pay attention to where and how the color blue appears in this film.
For the first maybe 15 minutes or so, it felt pretty ordinary, but there's a moment that comes early in the film that lets you know it's not what you thought. Toni Collette is amazing as a woman questioning her sanity. It was really great to see Gabriel Byrne on screen, and he was just perfect as a loving and understanding husband who isn't quite sure his if wife is ok mentally. Ann Dowd is flawless.
The plot devices and foreshadowing are all right in the pocket-just enough to get you to notice something, but not in a way where you might think to take note specifically.
I really didn't know what I was in for and I was blown away. A must see for horror fans.
