They take a very Hitchcock meets telanovela approach with their direct cinematographic homages, tight pacing, and suspenseful twists and turns. With the form it's also a surprisingly good in theatres, I almost wonder which direction of effect watching it on my computer would bring. It's brought down quite a bit by the teenagery plot (which I guess makes sense for a film with a teenage protagonist), garbage stock music, and general Hallmark/Lifetime film vibes, but overall I thought it was a super fun watch. It also put Storma Reid on my radar, I think she'll wind up in some amazing roles.

When I saw that trailer I feel like I know the ending already. I'm still willing to give it a watch though to see if it plays out like I think it does.
