I was thinking of the Slumber Party Alien Abduction episode of V/H/S 2 the whole time watching this. Always found it unfair to compare one film to another even if this arguably is the same film, but couldn't help myself, sorry. Not going to pick favorites, though. This is its own thing and has It's own perks, not least the silent treatment, quite refreshing to watch an American horror film where none of the characters seem inclined to have a say and quite refreshing, too, to watch an American horror film that indulges the subgenre's hard-on for expository infodump but feels less grating because it's all visual but more than that, emotionally and dramatically justifies it, too. There's a first.
