Man, some of you people are so negative.

Am I missing something? I only see two other comments and while one is definitely negative the other is passively negative. Your negative comment about negative comments is the second most negative comment so far! 😜

I entered the thread and saw people just being immediately pessimistic. I don't terribly care for that.

Indeed. It looks promising but I'l wait and see before making any judgement.

Who cares about what film critics say...? Would not be the first movie that gets a high rotten tomato score just to then be utter shit.

Hm.. non-American horror movie.. with a high rating from Rotten Tomatoes.

Meh, I'll find time to watch it. Not going to get my hopes up, however.

Plenty of good horror movies are not American.

non-American horror movie

I'd personally take that as a reason to be intrigued - other cultures bring different elements to the genre.

It does pique my interest.

However, I cannot for the life of me watch British television shows except for Mr. Bean.
