The best supernatural chiller since Hereditary, this serial-killer procedural arrives with more buzz than a fly-blown John Doe. It’s an unenviable burden to carry, and plenty of gorehounds will grumble that it’s not scary enough, especially with US distributors Neon playing the ‘it’s utterly terrifying’ card pretty hard in its breakout viral campaign. But see it unencumbered from heavy expectations and immerse yourself in a lingering, hauntingly blank-hearted horror film from Oz ‘son of Anthony’ Perkins and producer-star Nicolas Cage. Fans of It Follows and The Guest have been saying it for yonks, but her Clarice Starling-like FBI agent is yet more proof that Maika Monroe is a star.
