1. My initial reaction was "Who runs out of their house dressed like and with heels on? Also, THIS MUSIC IS AMAZING! I loved the movie but I think it would be super easy (especially as a woman) to evade the monster. I'd just sleep with a new person each day. Or sleep with a prostitute.

2. My favorite character was Jay. She was a fairly well rounded character. Then again, most of the other character didn't get the screen time to become less 1-dimensional. Paul was my least favorite. I hated how jealous he was of every other male character in the show. He is sort of the stereotypical 80s movie nerd.

3. My favorite scene is when the BF is showing Jay the monster for the first time. I love how they have the camera on the front of the wheelchair so it is facing Jay the whole time. Also, the first reveal of the monster is fantastic. There wasn't much I didn't like. But if I picked the least favorite would be when they were playing the trade game and he saw the girl in the yellow dress. Why would you go to a theater if you were being chased by a monster that is always moving?

4. I love the OST for this movie. It is probably in my top 20 OSTs of all time. I am glad this whole 80s style of scores is coming back.

5. I love how they use the camera to make you constantly unsure of who the monster is at several points during the movie. As I mentioned above, I also love the scene with Jay in the wheelchair.

The clam shell computer reader thing was so weird. Everything else in this movie says "80s" but that clam shell says THE FUTURE! Also, it is totally impractical as something to read on.

Your comments make the movie sound great but I’m a big fraidy-cat and get scared from the tiniest things. :( How frightening is the film?

I'd say medium scary? There isn't any gore. There are 2-3 jumpscares. Most of it is atmosphere.

I watched it on a bright sunny morning, so didn't have major problems with it. There were a couple of "argh!" moments. It's very atmospheric, though.

I'm with you on the camera angle thing. A lot of movies would have been less restrained and zoomed/framed the shot to make it obvious, but it was so subtle and every time I saw anyone walking even vaguely in the direction of the camera in the background I freaked.

Definitely agree about people walking in the background. Every person was a suspected STD monster.

I can't sleep with a new person every day, and I'm a woman. Hell, I haven't had sex with anyone in a few years.
