I enjoyed this more than most. It definitely has flaws, mostly coming from the script. But there's plenty to enjoy here, with the fun use of mirrors and shadows being a standout for me. It doesn't do anything exceptionally well or terribly poor. Just a breezy, yet honest look at guilt and grief in an hour and 28 minutes. Very comparable to Jennifer Kent's The Babadook. And I don't know about anyone else, but it's refreshing to see a major horror release with black Americans playing all the major roles (or every role in this case) and the film not being about racism.
