Conclusion: 3/5
The film is based on a novella from Stephen King’s “If it Bleeds” collection of short stories. Well directed by Mike Flanagan. Lovely to see the likes of Tom Hiddleston, Jacob Tremblay and Chiwetel Ejiofor. There is one particular scene in this that I really enjoyed and that is where Tom Hiddleston is dancing. The main theme that this raises is existential questions such as life and death, prompting viewers to reflect on their own existence.
