I've never been a big horror fan, so I kind of glazed over this one and hadn't watched any of the trailers, which have been out for weeks now. But the movie itself premiered at SXSW a couple days ago to absolutely rave reviews, to the point where reactions have been so unanimously consistent that I finally gave the trailers a spin... and holy crap this looks amazing. That, and I mistakenly assumed it was strictly horror when it looks to be something so much more. Not only does John Krasinski star, he directs as well, and based solely on the concept/visuals alone, I kind of can't believe this is only his second time directing a feature film. There's so much buzz that people are saying Krasinski could be the next big breakout director, ala Jordan Peele and Get Out. Between this and his Jack Ryan series on Amazon this summer, Krasinski looks poised to have a hell of a year.
