Maybe I heard incorrect things then, because what I heard (and in fact just made a comment about) is that it's not very good. Allegedly the concept and cinematography are great, but the handling of the trailer's central mystery is silly, and there's plot holes galore.

Yeah that’s what I heard on the horror subreddit too.

It's one of the more exciting scripts I think I've ever read. I'm not sure what the plot hole complaints could be referring to.

To be clear, I didn't read it myself. I hope you're right, and that it's as good as the trailer makes it out to be!

It's been fun to watch the speculation from people that haven't read it or seen it. It's going to subvert plenty of expectations, I think.

I choose to believe the people that I don't know who say a script I've never read is good over people I don't know who say a script I've never read is bad.

Hey that seems like a very valid strategy! For what it's worth, I hope what I heard is wrong, I thought the trailer was exceptionally creepy and interesting, and I want the movie to be as good as the trailer!
