- Aimed squarely at people who like the journey more than the destination and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. Shelve it next to Barbarian or It Follows.

- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: expect drug use.
- Not ideal if you just want to unwind.
