This was… an experience. It’s like getting on a roller coaster: it’s fun once, maybe twice, but then you’re done with it until probably next summer when you’re in the mood again.

But credit where credit is due. This is definitely unique filmmaking. Well-worn elements of horror that we know from The Exorcist, Talk To Me, Red Lights, and even Halloween III: Season of the Witch are impressively revived anew. I’m surprised that this movie wasn’t developed at Jordan Peele’s shingle. (That’s an old industry term. Is it still used?) The social commentary as horror plot motif is very much in the Jordan Peele school of scary.

The most famous name in the cast, at least to me, is Michael Ironside, and the movie makes very good use of him.

Word to the wise: look before you leap, lest you overlook your landing upon which is written in blood the tried and true lamentation, “It wasn’t supposed to be this way.”
