Saw it last night with the wife. VERY fun, nice, twisty plot with little clues dropping in everywhere.

One thing - someone asked if it’s worth being in the cinema. I’d argue Yes, on a few points:

It’s a dark film but there’s lots of little details to take in,
Also it’s a film where you need to keep your eyes on it, and a distractions like a minute of messaging could derail you
lastly, compared to Haunted Mansion, it’s good to have a logical, adult movie to see in the cinema. Even though I saw both (Haunten Mansion, under duress) I’d head out to see this just hoping it bring more smart mystery horror to the big screen
