The suspense, cinematography, subtle music, acting - it's all really good, far beyond most "scary doll" movies or any movies with such a low budget.

Of course, it does have a few horror movie cliche tropes that aren't great. Like cheap jumpscares, characters that witness ridiculously creepy supernatural events together, yet brush it off the next day like nothing happened... And super loud things happening in a house with like 10 people yet nobody hears it... A generic super unrealistically creepy dude that tries way too hard to be creepy (and it works, but isn't believable)... There's kids that are clearly written by adults to talk and think like adults, not like kids... Ultra dark rooms and areas that are lit up in the next scene, when it's no longer needed for them to be creepy or hide things...

Ghosts that conveniently leave footprints one time, but then do something different another time, whatever's good for the scene... There's no rules as to what can happen, no rules to the lore, which is actually pretty lazy and unengaging. Because yeah, anything can happen. And the ending is straight up cringe.

I guess I'm just frustrated with all that because it's a great movie in so many ways, yet lackluster in some big ones too.

But hey. It's a horror movie. You kinda know what to expect. And as a horror movie, most of it is good.

I just wish the writing was more professional, as in - there were some rules and logic to what was happening. But nah, it's just random scary for the sake of scary, whatever works for the scene, however long the writers wanted it to last, then it ends just as nonseniscally, and we're off to the next scene. And again, the ending is pure, distilled cringe that makes little sense.
