  The ending scene fully convinces me that Mikey Madison is a star.

  This was a childhood favorite because even if my parents weren’t billionaires I resonated to Richie’s loneliness growing up.

  And the Breadwinner Is... 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 29 Dec 2024

  While the found footage material is nothing sort of original, the formulaic and repetitive jump scares were quite effective.

I am not a big horror fan but I surprisingly enjoyed this.
