This is an odd one. It has that late-2010s indie feel, where it's shot on video and lacks meticulous art direction. It also features a lot of brand new actors, along with some anchor actors like Jeffrey Combs and Joel Murray. Odd shots and blocking as well. I guess it just looks like someone went out and shot this in the neighborhood. For example, early on there is a scene where a car full of youngsters pulls up in front of a house. The soundtrack music is foreboding, giving the impression that there is something spooky about the place. But what we see when the camera pans is a 1960s split-foyer in what appears to be a suburb of Seattle or Portland. Not only that, but it's extremely close to the houses on either side of it. So I'm thinking, "That place can't be pure evil, because one of the neighbors, or the HOA, would have complained by now."

Aside from all that, it's a fun watch if you run across it on Tubi or Amazon Prime.
