Starting with the opening shots, you can tell right away that the cinematography is such an important element to the movie, and it is. I've followed Witching Season Films for a while now and their ability to capture the moody Autumn and Halloween nostalgia is really like no other. The soundtrack is wonderful, which is another thing I appreciate in their storytelling.
Acting was everything I'd been hearing about and more. After seeing so many good things about the acting, I had high expectations. The scale of emotions that the two leads exhibit feels natural and real, not too dramatic unless the scene really calls for it. Casting was very well done and the actors really make this an easy watch.
As I've learned from past works, expect the unexpected. Though I guessed part of it correctly, I was caught off guard for some of it, in a good way. Without revealing any spoilers, I feel it was done well and even if some of it was very surprising, I feel that the surprises didn't "take" anything from the story, but rather added to it and I found the ending quite enjoyable.
Gore, mystery, a legendary killer, an old motel, and even a few minor supernatural elements; this is a fresh take on a niche of horror that I fully enjoyed.
