Remember this name: Jocelin Donahue. She gives a
fantastic performance in this subtle and masterfully
executed retro horror film. I really wound up liking
this movie. It's definitely not for everyone and it's
certainly not a feel good movie by any stretch. But the
way the parts leading up the mayhem happened could
almost be described as beautiful. It wasn't just 80s
redux, it was that improved.
As an example, the scene where Jocelin’s Samantha is bobbing around to the Fix's "One Thing Leads To Another" but then the music abruptly stops (for the audience) when she opens the door to that dark basement - just really nicely done.
