Very unique and original. I loved it!
Extremely well acted
I’ve been so eager to watch this ever since hearing Stephen King’s praised it aaaaand I loved it! David Dastmalchian FINALLY gets to be front-n-center as a lead and his performance is so haunting. The dread I felt, knowing something is gonna happen but not sure what or how, is exactly what I hoped for. And when things do start to happen, you want to see more!
It starts out strong, but the ending falls so flat that it ends up kind of ruining the rest of it. Plus every time they have AI, it’s so distracting that you end up getting completely taken out of the story. I guess this is a good lesson in why you should just pay an artist.
Good fun, I liked the ending - it was a bit exposition-ish like, yes I got what the point was without having it explained to me, but still done in an interesting way.
