Pretty fun watch and I liked the jump scares. Reminded me of High Noon in many ways. A lot of the static scenes were.. pregnant and maybe unnecessary. As a watcher I don’t know anything about Michael. Maybe the unknown is more scary but I couldn’t get invested in it bc I didnt know what he was trying to accomplish. For someone who’s supposed to embody evil he makes a lot of mistakes lol. What I can decipher is that mans doesn’t like that other people get play 😛
