    Yes and no
    Pros: Cool idea, amazing monster design, great jump scares. Has a lot of nightmare fuel indeed. I jumped several times.

    Cons: Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb story line, terrible characters (other than the two sisters), and idiotic choices.

    Watched this with my husband for the first time, fell asleep (not any fault of the movie actually... I just don't stay awake unless I'm sitting up and/or eating.... 😂)

    Watched it again the second time..... daylight too because I remember it being somewhat scary. Thank goodness I did cause it really is actually scary. (Darkness, great jump scares, the monster is absolutely fantastic! Everything about it!) it's definitely a cliche movie, worth the watch. Although it may be forgettable, it's a fun ride.

    A frustrating watch
    The characters in this film are DUMB. So dumb and uncaring that it's a wonder they survived.

    For one the youngest daughter Sawyer is left alone during the most insane situations. Your mother died, a serial killer broke in and hung himself in front of your sister and now your having visions of monsters? Well to bad, I'll be down the hall until the next scene where I play the most neglectful parent of the year.

    The sister is somehow even worse since she knows there's a monster and still she leaves her sister alone to fend for herself.

    That said Sawyer has no right being as calm about the whole thing as she is. WTF! And pretty much every situation would have been so easily mitigated by a simple flashlight.

    The rules for the monster keeps shifting and I hate when horror films do that, if you want to have a believable monster it has to have rules otherwise anything can happen and that kills any immersion.
