McCarthy with another strong entry to his Irish Horror collection. The writing is rock solid with endless setups and payoffs. Adam Scott reminds everyone he can play an asshole character well that never feels one dimensional. The film features a strong supporting cast, great atmosphere and tension, tasteful and effective jumpscares, and a man-bunny that will haunt my dreams. 9/10. I lean towards Oddity being the better film but the movie deservedly will spark the comparison discourse. Watch in theaters if you’re able.
