    Pure filmmaking. Has the atmosphere that is by and large missing from the horror genre, opting for character development, tension, engagement and grounding rather than jump scares and gross-out gore effects. Still a horror movie, to be sure (and therefore not for everybody) but one that stands on its own. _ Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time._

    I watched this film without knowing it was actually directed by Mike Flanagan. When I saw his name in the beginning of the film, I immediately knew I was in for a treat! I was not wrong! There is something special about the way he tries to scare people who watch his films. I can't tell you exactly what that is. All I know is that he is bloody good at it! You could see the film had a limited budget but actually the fact that its budget was limited made the film even better. Its atmosphere was unique. The "jump scares" were not really a traditional jump scare but rather an amazing collection of moments where you wished you were so glued to the screen. Would I watch it again? Definitely! Would I make my friends watch it? ASAP!

    Fantastic watch, would watch again, and do recommend, especially for horror fans. This is a movie that took from "Alien" and "Jaws" significantly in regards to seeing the danger. Admittedly, this movie does have some ramp up time where it spends a lot of time establishing the setting in the 1st act, but it (mostly) comes into play as somewhat important as the 2nd and 3rd as the story progresses. Once it starts getting creepy it increases exponentially throughout the movie, and with such a great concept and even execution. This is probably my favorite low budget horror movie, and while the movie looks a little grainy in parts, and it's a cast of (mostly) unknowns, you can tell exactly where the majority of their budge went, and it was worth it. If you have ever liked a creepy horror movie, then give this a go.
