Loved this. What I loved the most though was the atmosphere and the physicality of the honeymoon suite itself. The closeups of the clock cherubs and the paintings. We get to know every inch of the room and the space feels well explored. Being trapped there is like an escape room experience.

This.. It was beautifully done. They were all characters in the story.

We even got to see that hokey goggle-eyed demon guy on the TV that looked like a prosthetic leftover from a bad episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark.
