Other people seem to like this more than me. It's sort of Five Nights at Freddy's by way of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

For me, it feels like the stuff that comes off the Blumhouse assembly line, but with a better initial idea and a lower budget. I wasn't turned off by it, but I did get bored.

I can't help but feel everyone would have been better off if she'd just left that shitty kid in the void.
