Well, this is a very underrated film! I am so glad I stumbled across it. I just watched it and loved it! From beginning to end it did a great job at conveying a vintage authenticity. This is a rare bona fide homage. A great example is the kids that bring in the ghetto blaster to the shop. I felt like I watching a genuine 70s movie for a minute. My mind was telling me, wait, the quality is very modern and yet, it feels and looks so vintage (I rarely know anything about a movie I watch, apart from the genre - I prefer it that way). anyway, from then on, I was hooked! The attention to detail was excellent. They definitely knew what they were doing. The cast was very well chosen with a great main ensemble. On top of all that, great cinematography, effects (yikes!), editing, direction and score makes this really stand out for me. Definitely as good as It Follows. Believe me, if you consider yourself a true horror fan, you will love this film. I was a teenager in the 80s (I turned 12yo in 1984) and I know a thing or two about movies from that era. I hope there's a sequel! And please give us more homages!!

you never know what to expect from a film with a smaller budget these days but this a rare exception. i really enjoyed it. not really sure why it has a low rating. maybe people are just used to that slick look these days. sad considering you don't need bells and whistles to create a great film, just a good story, cast and direction. this has all that. perhaps it could've done with some more interesting camera work and lighting but it felt plausible and i thought the cast did a great job. i usually can predict what happens next in a film but i didn't here. the web just gets more tangled and you're in for the ride. i think cellini wrote a very solid story with some interesting twists and turns. it's quite a good representation of human selfishness, greed and lust and didn't seem clichéd. great film and performances. suspenseful and realistic. totally underrated!
