I haven't seen it but was thinking about going. It's not playing at my normal theater so I would have to go further out if I want to see it. Any thoughts? Is it worth extra effort to see it in theaters?

I am very interested in seeing something that breaks out of the tired old techniques. Thanks for the insight!
It's not that it doesn't use old techniques, it is more that it bucks the trend you see in modern movies for cheap, unearned jump scares: it's a monster! Nope it's a cat. Monster!! No it's the little brother playing a prank.
I don't think it breaks new ground but it does the job very effectively and all the scares are earned. At least in my opinion.
