    It’s really hard to have a bad opinion about a movie that has Mason Gooding as the lead. He and Olivia Holt make enjoyable, what *could* have been a garbage concept. They have great chemistry and play off each other well. HEK is also a fun addition to the roster of masked slashers. I look forward to the birth of a new franchise hopefully. 

    Also the lug wrench scene? IYKYK.

    I really like when straight to streaming horror surprises me. This movie was so fun. While it may rely on some cheesy horror cliches- they feel niche and almost nostalgic. It was back to the future meets Scream. It’s a concept that almost shouldn't work but it does.

    This movie is not for me. 

    Not because it is a bad movie. 

    It’s just not “my genre” 

    However Kieran Culkin is amazing as a free spirit who has been through more than it seems. There’s a turning point in the film that you realize- fuck, this is sad. 

    He’s witty, funny, brash and unexpectedly broken. 

    Truly one of the best roles he’s taken on. 

    Jesse Eisenberg plays Jesse Eisenberg. It’s not bad- just not new. 

    Pleasantly surprised by this film, though not likely one I’ll need to see again.
