Oh I was definitely cringing, that lawn mower one was the worst/best. It’s plenty scary on the surface, especially with how the director shoots Hawke in a ton of negative space. I just felt like sum of the parts didn’t add up.

While I did find the film to be more than a bit uneven, I also found it rather effective and entertaining. Additionally, I thought the “snuff” footage was a neat little homage to the August Underground trilogy and quite disturbing to boot. Tell me you didn’t cringe during the “Yard Work” or “Sleepy Time” videos and I’ll politely have to call you a liar. They are more than capable of causing at least one sleepless night.

I have to say that although I guessed very early on that the missing kids must be the ones perpetrating the murders, the lead up to the twist ending was not slap dash, it was quite well explained. The demon mythology and the mystery around it was brought up fairly early on and then explained in greater detail at two different points in the film, leading up to the final conclusion, so it wasn’t an ending that came out of nowhere by any stretch.
