We’re once again dipping into the overstuffed bucket of
Blumhouse Productions releases, and considering Jason has already shown a wide
variance from decent (Black Christmas), excellent (The Invisible Man) to just
plain terrible (Fantasy Island), all in just a few months’ time, I really don’t
know what to expect from this one. Add onto that how this is written and
directed by Jacob Aaron Estes, who we last checked in on with his writing
contributions to the terminally pointless Rings, and how lead actors David
Oyelowo and Storm Reid haven’t had the best of luck in their last handful of
theatrical outings, and this could really go pear-shaped quickly. Well, much to
my eternal surprise and gratitude, this turns out to be a saving throw for all
three of them.
