Strong promise, good writing minute-to-minute (if a little over reliant on obvious tropes) but too much going on to build effective tension and horror. It felt like it was breathlessly running through the big book of phobias (“is this scary? what about this? how about this!”) and ran out of ideas. By the time the bees came up I was totally checked out of any horror. What I really wanted was for it to pick one thing and dig its claws in. The ending / resolution is the goofiest bit of all.
