As a horror fan, this is not the film I would normally watch, but I did find myself watching it and found it very different than I would have expected.
While it may have taken a little longer than expected to get started, I found that this was done on purpose as it had an arc that brought the audience along at a specific pace, and that pace worked. You had to understand these characters and you did.
Why did this film work? It's very simple.
I believe there are two things that you need in any film, whatever the budget, and if you have this then you have a film that the viewers will enjoy:
1. A Good Script 2. Good acting
This film had both of these and not just good, but great. The script worked well and both principal actors did a fantastic job.
It's a great film if you like a feel-good story, but don't want all the mush.
