Pretty fun prequel that was easy to watch
I was glad to hear a lot of people enjoyed this movie. I saw several reviewers rank it as their favorite horror this year. It was very well done, so it deserves the recommendations. I thought it was very fun and easy to watch, although I would also say that I felt like I digested it pretty thoroughly on one viewing. It's got some wild stuff going on, but not to the degree that I feel compelled to tell friends they have to see it. Of course, Mia Goth's performance is what carries the film, but I also think the script did it's job in giving her lots of chances to go crazy. I guess I would have like to see them take it even further, as weird as that sounds. But you definitely have to make time to see it. Lots of fun.
