Lower your expectations

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2019)

This was one of my must-see movies going into 2019, and all the reviews I heard prior to seeing it said it was the best horror movie in years. People... lower your expectations. First off, the movie is fun and the performances are awesome (wasn't expecting Elizabeth Moss to be such a fun addition, and Lupita knocked it out of the park). Unfortunately, any "student of horror" can predict the ending in the first five minutes. It doesn't detract from the story, but the "big reveal" is more like a "no duh" sorta deal. The overall assessment here is that this movie is FAR from great, and will likely not even crack the top five for horror movies of 2019... a far cry from what initial reviews were saying.
