- Zokkiie4. August 2026This honestly starts off feeling like a trashy B-horror flick, and I wasn't sure it was going to win me over. But once it gets going, it becomes an absolute blast. The cinematography is great, the kills are creative, and James Wan fully commits to the insanity instead of playing it safe. It's definitely not going to work for everyone. The first half can feel a little generic, and if you don't buy into the crazy third act, the whole movie will probably fall apart for you. I did, though, and that's exactly what made it so much fun. One of the wildest mainstream horror movies in years.
- ricomckee3. Oktober 2025This forgotten gem is just that and mini gem. The movie has some weaknesses from logic to some stereotypes that really are not good. However, the action, special effects, and over all story are unique and well done. The unique way the big bad takes out its prey is pretty much worth 3 stars. However- if the first 2/3 of the movie would have been more like the last- it would be even better.
- Ark (ArkiTekd)15. Juli 2025If youre watching Slashers and taking them all too seriously, i really dont get you. A thoroughly entertaining movie throughout. I especially loved when the pace change hits and the genre seems to shift in to an action movie. Is it the greatest and thought provoking movie ever...No Did i have a fun time watching it...Hell yeah! Its a passion project from a man who had to Direct Aquaman. poor guy deserved to have some fun
- jackmeat7. August 2025My quick rating - 7.1/10. Anyone who rates this low is very much missing the point. I think this liberty can only be taken by the few who have taken modern horror flicks to a new level. James Wan happens to be one of them. Without being in that elite group, you would not first get the budget, but more importantly, would not be able to make such a campy and tongue-in-cheek flick such as this. It all starts off on the course of your standard slasher fare. The camera work is creative and pulls you in, taking a typical boring scene and adding enough flair to it, making it interesting. Annabelle Wallis plays Madison, who, after a run-in with her abusive partner and, consequently, a killer, begins to have visions of the killer continuing his work. Visually, these scenes put her in the place where it is happening, and look very cool in how they meld the worlds together. So, for a couple of the acts of this one, we get to follow along with a "Scream" type slasher flick with the dark coat-wearing long-haired killer being a mixture of all the typical horror films you can think of. Could be supernatural, could be a demon, or maybe a parkour-loving serial killer with a flair for rendering its victims into unrecognizable states. I was just fine with following along and figuring out who the killer was and how Madison was connected, and then Wan does what his status allows and throws a completely ridiculous curveball at you. Not only that, but the final act of this flick pays homage to what has to be another favorite of his: Hong Kong action flicks, John Woo style. Not only does the story get wrapped up in a completely campy way in reference to some old-school horror flicks, well, massively exaggerated, BUT it also gets some John Wick action to boot. Definitely one of the more enjoyable flicks so far this year. And back to how I started, if you go in expecting some serious horror flick, that was not the intention. This movie succeeds in spite of having no intentions of it and does so on more levels than a straightforward horror movie would. It does so by being both which is very hard to pull off.

Madison wurde einst als traumatisiertes Mädchen von einer liebevollen Pflegefamilie adoptiert. Als erwachsene Frau wird sie nun von ihrer tragischen Vergangenheit eingeholt, denn Gabriel, ihr vermeintlich imaginärer bester Freund aus Kindheitstagen, scheint sehr wohl zu existieren. Allerdings verfolgt ihr einstiger Wegbegleiter keineswegs gute Absichten, sondern reißt Madison vielmehr mit in einen dunklen Strudel hinab: Gabriel begeht nämlich eine Reihe brutaler Morde, die Madison aufgrund ihrer besonderen Verbindung zu ihm mit ansieht, als wäre sie live selbst mit dabei. Aber geschehen die Taten wirklich oder existieren die blutigen Vorfälle nur in ihren Gedanken? Die Grenze zwischen Wahrheit und Einbildung sind längst verschwommen.
