Remember this name: Jocelin Donahue. She gives a
fantastic performance in this subtle and
masterfully executed retro horror film. I wound
up really 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 unfold could almost be
described as beautiful. It wasn't just 80s
redux, it was a significant improvement on that
formula.
As an example, the scene where Jocelin’s Samantha is bopping 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 is really nicely done.
