For the life of me, I always had my imagination as a strong armor against anything that came at me. I may be the most gullible person on the planet, but I think the movie was intelligent in the fact that it wasn’t like most where you have all the special effects, buckets of blood, and some indelible monster chasing after everyone. It had this eerily calm tone as if to say I am going to take away the part of the movie that usually lets you feel safe, when everyone is there and reserved and talking to one another. The whole movie made me feel as if I was in a separate room and all the info was being heard almost out of earshot. (I don’t know if I am making sense, sorry if I just get too involved in movies)
