Like riding a rollercoaster but it never drops to give that thrill
It's based on Stephen King's short story, which I never read so I am unsure if it's faithful.. but the film itself actually feels like a short story. By the end of the film I was like "huh, that's it?". It's like reading those 2 sentence horror stories but this was with a lot of words that dragged it out because you needed to meet a minimum character limit so it's all fluff with little action.
I am a bit disappointed by the lack of thrill ngl but I did like the bond of Craig and Mr Harrigan. I applaud Jaeden and Donald's acting. I felt their character's connection to be genuine. Which I think is one of the reasons why this story fails at horror as horror because it focused so much on the build up of the characters it didn't get to deliver what's supposed to be horror about it.
This is the type of film that definitely has a specific audience in mind else you're going to find this to be dull and boring. If you watch this thinking of a thrilling horror then you'd be disappointed. Go into it more like a short slice of life coming of age drama with some horror elements.
