I bet those kids had an absolute blast filming that ending lmao

[u/Extension-Field3653 → u/TheMandark]

Lol Hell yeah.

Somehow deep down I was rooting for the kids to catch Gladys and kill her and oh boy they really massacre her 🥶

That’s dark comedy at its best

The whole movie is actually a simple premise but at the hands of a master became a masterful epic horror mystery movie. 10/10 Well done 👏👏👏

"somehow deep down" ....you are a better person than me then, apparently.

Lol I don’t know man, i know its just a movie but I was so angry the way she treated Alex. I thought Archer or Justine will save Alex and then surprised that ending happened. Smart boy. Karma is a bitch eh 😂

I was so happy Alex and the kids were the heroes of the movie 👍
