Refreshing and impressively written entry in the urban myth genre.
The dialogue has a naturalistic feel that really helps sell the narrative, proving that when you are immersed into an environment of believable characters, you can suspend disbelief and be effectively unnerved by what are essentially highly unlikely scenarios.
There are definite tropes here, but it doesn't feel like it's going through the checklist.
This film and its script never tries to be trendy, clever, pompous or pretentious.
It doesn't go for gimmicky jump scares or try to hit quotas other films go for to appease attention deficient audiences. It's not the most terrifying movie in existence, but fans of older, slow burning fare should definitely check it out.
