"I’m not sure what it is with Ty West being so close to having something but in the end totally missing the mark, I have the same problem I have with X it’s like a costume of a 70s horror but not actually giving me anything other then looks, I guess you can say it was like Black Christmas..but I don’t like that movie either so I got nothing out of this. When it came to the scares I wanted more, when it came to Devil Worship stuff it could of been more over the top and creeper..but it’s mostly a girl walking around a house for an hour, and the end just wasn’t Satisfying…just blah."
"Ti West does a period type horror set in the 80's and really nails the time frame. There is this grainy texture to it and even has the fade to black parts as if going to commercial. A college student takes a baby sitting job but there is no baby. As the night progresses we know where it's going but not how it will play out. It is a bit of a slow burn with some parts being a little boring early but once the job starts they lock in. It ends in a way you expect with it going over the top and not expect at the same time. I would have scored it higher with a tighter script and a bit more editing. Definitely one you should check out.
