Atmospheric Horror / Thriller That Isn't Campy!

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2017)

It's a difficult task to find a horror or thriller horror that's not campy or just plain silliness. For example, I loved Silence of The Lambs. I couldn't stand the Jason or Freddy series (after age 14, st least!) This film is atmospheric, spooky, and just plain good. My boyfriend can't stand horror movies of any sort and he loved this. This is right up there with films like The Ring as far as the feeling you get while you're watching. This can only stem from excellent production and directing. The characters are well defined and well-acted; a few years older than typical high school grads and are living in a sort of alternate reality, waiting for their real lives to begin. They're in college and living at home, all friends who have grown up together in their Michigan neighborhood. There are also some messages in this film: be careful who you are intimate with!
