4 out of 5 stars.
Adult Stuff-
After 10- Say it all the time!! Love movies that start with action.
After 40- The use of words, signs, reflective surfaces and some camera angles are so refreshing.
By The End- A well done movie, but...
After Checking IMDB- Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (screenplay), and Earl E Smith (original).
This is a pretty good movie. Starts off with action right out of the gate, the actors and the acting are good and note worthy. The use of some unique camera angles, reflective surfaces, signs and lighting add a unique feel to the movie which makes it enjoyable to watch. It is not your run of the mill slasher flick following the same recipe. Not long into the movie it becomes clear we are watching a grisly mystery. Who is the killer? Why are they doing it? How will we catch them? All great questions, but very hard to answer because we only know what we have been shown. Of course, our minds can not help but try to jump ahead and "guess" who the killer is and why. Standard issues always apply; fear, rage, greed, jealously, whatever. Which quickly and sadly brings us to the end of the movie, where I felt this flick lost a little. The end felt a little rushed and incomplete. Of course it leaves the door wide open for a sequel or prequel, but after such an enjoyable movie, I just don't feel the ending was as good as the build up to it.
Spoilers**
**with an ending like I feel a sequel is almost assured.
**if for no other reason than to explain how they got introduced, which I have my theories on.
**HAHAHA- "live bait"
