The best horror movies these days seem to follow a formula you expect, than drop some scenes that make you feel like you accidentally took some hallucinogens.
Loved Perkin's previous movie Longlegs, but I'm glad I watched the monkey free with streaming subscription. It was miss for me, maybe just not in the mood. Hoping Perkin's next one, Keeper, will be darker.

I wanted to like it so badly but it's not much more than a poorly paced Final Destination film that also decided to bait and switch me into watching half the thing with goddamned kid actors. Two thumbs as far down as possible.
