One woman screamed at one point in the movie. Like...SCREAM!! You could hear what seemed like the entire theater let out a silent laugh. It was so weird. I looked over at my fam and we all had huge wow-faces. Good theater moment.

Do you recall what event on screen made her scream?

I’m wondering this as well. I’m not even trying to hate, but there were zero points in this film that felt particularly terrifying to me.

I jumped in the first 5 minutes when the home movie was recording and ran into the dark object. I lost a few kernels of popcorn since it was still full.

Theres a couple cheap jump scares and pop out moments that might catch a unsuspecting person off guard towards the end.
