 Creepy? Yes. Plot bugaboos? Also yes. 

I've been taking my time with the review because I'm conflicted. On the one hand, there were some very scary moments. I've become a bit wary of my own closet after one particular horrifying scene that will probably stay with me until the day I die. 

But on the other hand, parts of the plot bugged the crap out of me...including the ending. 😫 Without giving anything away, I'll just say that some interactions were completely unbelievable. The characters made some choices that didn't quite line up with what I thought would have happened in those situations. Maybe that's why I didn't feel connected to any of the characters either. 🤔 Either way, something was off.
