this was actually a pretty good read. it’s definitely not as creepy as people say it is, and i wish Sager stopped repeating the same information over and over again. like, we get it lol, we’re all on the same page. i also really want Sager to develop ambiance in his writing. the setting for a weird, creepy old hotel with weird, creepy old people would make the ending SO MUCH WORSE.

however, DAT ENDING DOE. that is the kind of “wow this is really fucked up” that i LOVE. Sager certainly could have gone the extra mile with it 100% but the message it ends with is pretty scary and closer to reality than a lot of people think it is.


(MILD SPOILERS if you’ve read “final girls”)
there is also a twist that is uh very similar to Sager’s first book which is like???
