This was pretty fun! I didn't play a ton of the game so I didn't really catch any references (presuming there are a lot of references) but I thought it felt like a video game experience in a good way. Different locales are kind of like different levels. I don't know if RE had huge jumbles of limbs but Inside sure as hell did and this reminded me a lot of that game in that regard. Austin Abrams is well-cast and pretty funny with his realistic reactions. I think that's most of what this movie is: realistic reactions to crazy stuff happening.

And that's opening night. I don't know if I have more thoughts or not because I'm dead tired. I remember liking this feeling a lot... fighting to stay awake, drifting into that heavy-lidded haze where the movie takes on even more ethereal qualities where time extends or slows down as I'm halfway asleep. Thank goodness this was a tight 90, because it also feels great to go to bed.
