Coming from A24, the same studio behind great indie horror like Hereditary, The Witch and Midsommar have people claiming it's just as good and just as "scary" as those movies. It's not.

While I didn't find the jump scares to be effective, I did think the gorier bits worked well and the whole movie, predictable as it was, did have an unnerving tone especially leading up to the game going off the supernatural rails.

I can see why younger horror fans would think this is a fantastic movie, as horror movies go it will definitely strike a chord with teenage audiences but like Veronica I don't think this movie is as "brilliant" as it's being made out to be, especially when films like It Follows carries a similar tone but a much more effective execution.
