From the creator of Barbarian? This is SO MUCH BETTER!!!
There's an incident in the night: kids so missing. Is it the teacher's fault? The parents certainly think so. Certain people can't let it go, and so end up finding out, which is always a good thing.
I went into this not having even seen the trailer, so I'll say no more.
Although we get the inciting incident straight away, it takes a while to get going, and the movie slowly amps up the "weirdness" moments. The big revelation is some what let down by "oh, is that all it is?" but this is still very well done and keeps up the interest all the way through.
Good performances all around, and the kids are... they are fine. There's a lot of Naruto Running, so we know something weird is going on, but Amy Madigan gets the bulk of carrying the back of the movie. Josh Brolin isn't bad, but mainly is in "upset dad" mode, not showing a large range of performances here. There is some gore moments, but mainly it's tension and build up.
So much better than Barbarian, I might even be interested in his next movie!
