Why

See this movie immediately.

Why

Because it's really good. And it's not about vampires (when I saw the newspapers taped over the windows of the spooky house in the trailer, I thought, "Vampires...yawn." It's not.)

Any further information will only hurt your experience.

Which is not to imply the movie is built around some gimmicky Big Twist. It isn't. But the best part for me was being given a little, and then a little more, then a little more then, almost all the information, and still not being able to guess where it was going--thanks to some very nuts-and-bolts, Stephen King-style genre storytelling.

That kind of page-turner storytelling is a lost art, especially in modern horror movies.

Wife and I can’t wait to see it. Great cast too. Appreciate the spoiler free recommendation.

I saw this on Saturday. I think I liked it. I'm not nearly the movie buff that you are so my problem is I'm still trying to process what I watched. I have a bunch of questions but I won't ask them yet as they will spoil things. I agree with your take about the nuggets slowly being dropped.

I thought it was really well cast and acted. Had to go to the credits at the end before I figured out Gladys was played by Amy Madigan. It was really well shot in a way that captivated my interest, lighting, sets, takes, all that fine stuff that I know nothing about.

Still spending time reading about it post seeing it to really try to get a better handle on it.

Appears to be a financial success doing $42 million in the US this past weekend.

Not much of a horror fan myself but I endorse this one for sure. Love the fact that the trailers don't give out much. Kept you interested and guessing. Enjoyed the odd humor it had at times as well. Well placed and just enough to give it the weird creepy vibe I love in the horror I do like.

This is the perfect description! I can’t stop thinking about this movie! I absolutely loved it! It’s one of the better “horror” movies in years.

I saw the movie today, and I really liked it. I have already told friends to go see it. I loved the story, and the way it was told from different points of view/perspectives. It is well worth the price of admission and the acting was really good. I really enjoyed it and it is one of the better movies I have seen in months.

The movie time today was 2:17. I thought that was really odd, but then I guess I missed that the kids disappeared at 2:17am. Pretty cool.
