    When Evil Lurks

    I'm not sure all genres belong on the 5 star scale, horror included. Was it good? I don't know; maybe. Was it entertaining? Absolutely.

    There's a surprising amount of pacing variation (not always for the better but certainly interesting) and variation between action vs suspense horror. There's at least something for everyone. The acting was also quite good throughout. I enjoyed the subtle depart from our universes rules, it was fun.

    Would I recommend it? If you've seen enough horror and want another one then yes. If you're looking for a general movie recommendation then no. It's a fun horror.

    Who are you, truly? Are you happy? Do you have the courage to take your own happiness, even when it means ruining other's happiness and being hated by society?

    ★½

    It's like a good horror movie,
    But for people who don't like to be scared
    And there's nothing actually scary
    And the plot doesn't really make any sense
    And the characters are all detestable
    And the narrator is just trying to troll you
    And the cinematography is mid
    And the acting is terrible
    And the pacing sucks

    You know actually it's not anything like a good movie. The only horror is what black mail material Yorgos must have over Hollywood.
