I went in just to support one of the crew members, and wasn't really expecting much.
But it was unexpectedly good quality basically from the beginning. Both the script and the acting were really good.
It gave me the same feeling as "half-baked" the first time I saw it. Like "really? Are we going THERE???"
The scene with the mushroom tea was EPIC, definitely took me by surprise. It was a fantastic diversion from the usual scary movie plots.
The local paranormal experts also made the film very believable and gave me the final buy in.
I know the other people in the theatre liked it too cause we were all laughing at the same punchlines.
The final scene, which I won't give away, was a real surprise, and extremely unexpected. I'm going to watch it again on Thursday because I did get the 10 minutes late and I wana make sure I see the whole thing.
If you watch it, make sure to stay for the credits. TONS of laughs in the added scenes there.
This has all the hallmarks of a potential cult classic!!!
Well done 5'7 films. 👏👏
