Slow-burn horror at its best

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2019)

This movie is pure suspence from its first scene ("what is she even doing?!?") to the very last shot ("it's behind them, isn't it!"). Honestly, I don't remember being involved so much in a horror movie since... well, since a very long time. Like, you actually CARE about the characters' whereabouts, and you genuinely want them to survive their fate. Girls are very pretty too and that certainly helps... A special credit goes to the casting director: each and every actor and actress is spot-on perfect in their role. Only complaint: I found the "last" battle against the curse (the pool scene, just to be clear) a little bit contrived and not as effective as it could have been, but that's easily forgiven. Will look for similar movies, ready to be disappointed: it's very unlikely I'll be able to find something better within the same genre.
