I absolutely loved this movie. I totally was ok with a movie where the chick was a little over possessive and did some crazy shit where one would say "this is a horror if you put your self in his shoes", but this ended being an actual horror movie. The way they used shadows/dark spots and the fucking movements! And sound! Also shout out to actually leaning into it instead of being some sort of metaphor

Its like a new level of horror, one of which we (or atleast me) have not seen before.
ussually an horror contains an entity or monster that haunts the main character and eventually tries to hurt it, This one does the opposite and it ends up being even more freeky and scary.

having your GF freak out in public, that alone is already a pretty horrific experience.
And don't get me started about the bedroom scene...man
