About
You may enjoy this if you like stalker-heavy late-'80s slashers with a suburban twist and the straightforward thrills of Blood Rage; Not for you if you want big surprises, deep characters, or nonstop intensity like Halloween.
Pros: strong lead performance; creepy family premise; easy, watchable pacing | Cons: very predictable; less suspenseful sequel; formulaic story beats
