Overview
- Neon will open Chris Stuckmann’s horror feature in U.S. theaters on Oct. 24, with the latest reviews published Oct. 21–22 skewing negative overall.
- Critics widely single out the mockumentary/found-footage prologue as the film’s strongest stretch, noting a notable stylistic shift roughly 20 minutes in.
- Later sections are frequently described as derivative of recent and classic horror touchstones, with several reviews calling the conclusion muddled.
- Stuckmann, a longtime YouTube reviewer, developed the project with Kickstarter backing reported at about $1.4 million, with Mike Flanagan joining as executive producer.
- Neon acquired the film ahead of its 2024 Fantasia premiere and funded reshoots to add gore and tighten the cut; the cast includes Camille Sullivan, Sarah Durn, Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, Robin Bartlett and Michael Beach.
