its practical kills and music are great. i think its at its scariest at moments like when someone hung herself and it holds onto that moment for a bit longer then other horror movies would've.
the story is interesting but the writing leaves allot to be desires, i like to think this a repacution of lying to his wife and he has to witness it all but i also don't think the film goes to far with that.
its ALMOST a 7/10 but the longer i think about it, its pacing is really slow.
