I enjoy it. It’s a real short read. It’s only like 29 and I can get it done it within an hour and a couple of minutes. I like how when entering it it gave me flashbacks to final destination. Also kind of remind me of like other horror movies those being either smile or it follows. It’s too short to really say if it’s a five star or a four star so overall OK story. I’d recommend it if you just need something to start off your year. As well as if you liked Joe hill work.
