In today's day and age, it is hard as a viewer to come across something that feels original and fresh, let alone imagining coming up with it or writing it down. So once it is established that something may not be particularly original or potentially derivative, the next step is to ask, was it done well?..

I believe this was relatively well done despite its lacking in originality. It had aspects that felt fresh, however the overall vibe was... familiar. Despite its run of the mill spooky plot, it was still interesting and engaging. I thought this had all the makings of a dope horror but felt it leaned more into the tension building aspects pushing it more towards thriller, rather than going full blown horror with it... I would have preferred the latter.

One thing of note is I thought the movie looked quite nice. There were shots here and there where I specifically thought oh wow that was nice. It also, though few and far between, did have some genuinely spooky moments and decent effects.

Overall I thought this was a decent, slightly above average thriller/horror with a plot that definitely had potential. 5.5 rounding up to 6, would recommend.
