Giving this one a very high rating for a number of reasons.

First of all - it is new and fresh and different! Such a clever take on so many horror movie tropes for something completely diverse.

Also, the acting wasn't too bad. These actors are all new to me and unlike so many of these types of movies, for the most part they were all quite good.

The main characters especially were very believable without being over the top or too contrived and they were relatable/likeable.

It wasn't until after I watched the movie that I saw that the lead actress is also one of the writers and I must say she's impressive. It's always a treat to find clever women making horror movies so that is a nice surprise.

Definitely a fun watch!

I don't usually write reviews but giving in on this one. I LOVE horror movies and while this isn't grade A, big budget, fare, it was completely entertaining.

The lead actor, young and definitely not a pro - was great to watch, fit the role and I think, really helped this movie along as he was so likeable.

Again, definitely not big budget, but they made fine work with what they had and didn't have to rely on useless gore or cheesy affects. The doll 'Heidi' was sufficient to give the necessary chills.

This wasn't a total slow burn, but also didn't rely on jump scares - it was just genuinely creepy and a fun watch.
