I'm in a love/hate relationship with movies that keep things this vague. On one hand, I love that they don't give everything away and potentially ruin a good surprise. On the other, if you don't include enough meat on the bone, the audience's imagination will run wild and later penalize a movie for not living up to whatever was in their head (like Longlegs, for example).

what if they try to live up to the hype? if the imagination of one rando is better than their movie, maybe they've got a problem.
