YESSS!! Such a great movie! I can't even remember the last horror movie I loved as much as this. A genuinely interesting story and not just jump scares and gore, and SO well acted by everyone 👏👏👏. Amy Madigan as Gladys was incredible; so creepy when she's putting on a front for the people around her, and genuinely scary when she's threatening Alex. I liked the direction they chose for her hair and make-up, as if she's so old that she's trying to fit in with modern day, but totally missing the mark. Her use of the term "consumption" used to describe the condition of Alex's parents to the principal is a great hint for how old she might actually be -- a terminology used for as far back as the 17th century. (Plus, ya know, she's "consuming" them too.) If you were as intrigued by this story as I was you might have looked up some lore afterwards, well worth it. I do think if Alex had understood to throw the branches in the water, it should have lifted the spell for all the kids and his parents, but he just didn't know. Which is just... so sad and frustrating. And shout out to Austin Abrams who just nailed his role as the junkie, I feel like he stole the show, he was just so fun to watch on screen. 😂

Yeah he did a great job “I’m phobic” made me laugh 😂

James is easily my fave character of this movie. The actor did such a great job portraying an addict deep in the midst of his addiction. Totally single-minded and focused on getting money to fuel his addiction. I use the "I'm phobic" line regularly these days 😂
