if you like james wan's body of work (i do) then you'll like this (i did). the score is fantastic if you've got good speakers or headphones so make sure you're set with your audio if streaming at home on hbo max like i was. the acting was always 10% terrible 90% great - like you can tell that this was designed to feel like a campy cult horror favorite, so having all these solid actors pulling things into just a little ridiculous territory was a fun experience. camp is only truly entertaining when the acting is good, after all (see rocky horror for an obvious example).
the cinematography is also great. another one for my body horror list for sure!
