With this around, who needs to talk about Kevin? Powerful, unsubtle scares. Peculiar, frazzled energy. Essie!

Given visibly low budget, scope of vision and relative polish of execution are remarkable. Adept balance of characterization and scares. Nice to hear a female voice in horror. Quickly making a mark.
