Solid run time here. The trend of “elevated horror” which basically just means horror movies with themes so obvious that people who stare at their phone for half the movie can still walk away with what the theme was… at least this isn’t that.

I was always curious what the dynamic of the bar was really like in the movie. I never saw this when it came out because I was 14 and saw no reason to…
