Andy’s Verdict: New underpants!
Cinema release: Friday, March 25.
I love a good ‘Ancient Evil’ so I do.
Review here, but it also includes the original short, which I vividly remember seeing in the cinema even though I’ve long forgotten whatever the main feature was.

Looks like a watchable but not overly surprising horror flick. The Irish angle tips it into ”I’ll give it a watch”.
horror movies are supposed to be formulaic.
True but some really take the genre and go nuts with it, Hereditary and Midsommar being some recent standouts.
But as said, I’d give it a watch, very hard to tell how good a horror might be based on a trailer but it could really surprise.
yeah it looks good all the same – hope it does well.
Poor Kim Bauer just can’t catch a break!
