Leah W Cast: Neirin Winter and Courtney Fulk First of all, I want to say that they did a good job selecting the main cast. Neirin Winter (character Marshall Blythe) and Courtney Fulk (character Jenny Blythe) are going places! Around fifteen minutes into the movie, you really see them starting to shine. They're just young people dealing with a family situation while at the same time navigating their own lives and relationships. I really like that the writers didn't make them dumb teenagers, and rather wrote characters that Winter and Fulk were able to easily slide into! This also highlights their acting skills; I'm excited to see where they go next! Film: I was expecting a jump-scare-driven movie and was very much surprised (in a good way!). I really appreciated that there were no jump scares! As someone who can't watch much horror, I would definitely watch this one again and will be recommending it to people I know who want something fun without too much scary. If you want a taste of horror without feeling like you'll be kept up all right, I'd say this is the movie to watch! It's a jolly fun watch, and the actors, costumes, set, and script all go together nicely. On top of this, with only 6 days of primary filming (IMDB Trivia), the cast and crew did a great job of bringing the movie to life. There is some really nice foreshadowing that's subtle for the genre, and some elements towards the end, specifically involving Fulk's character, that I wasn't expecting but open up the option for a continuation of the story that would be interesting. Overall: I had been excepting some goofy lines, and there were a few here and there, though they were mostly towards the beginning. What I wasn't expecting was for the movie to exceed my expectations. The two rising stars, Neirin Winter and Courtney Fulk, pulled me in and were highlights of the movie. There was a scene at the end that seemed to go on for a little bit too long, but the conclusion more than made up for it. As someone who cannot watch much horror, this was a great way for me to enjoy the genre without having a heart attack. Overall, I'd definitely watch it again, and have some foreshadowing to look out for that I missed the first time around. Overall, I'd give the movie a rating of 4/5 or 8/10. Most importantly, I enjoyed it!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Jessie S if plagiarism was a movie.
