Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and horror fans. Best watched with the lights down and someone to grab. Liked Halloween or The Black Phone? This is a good next one.
The mood: Scary.
The pace: Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off: Rated R: meant for adults.
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

When she takes a job babysitting a young boy for a night at his family's remote farmhouse, sweet college co-ed Angie Albright becomes the target of a scar-covered creep making mysterious phone calls and prowling outside the windows. Angie gets the drop on the would-be killer, but quickly discovers that her nightmare has just begun.
