Kinda, but I was getting an irony/satirical vibe because of how it was very M. Night Shamalan-esque type trailer (From the mind of...) It's Guess Who's Coming To Dinner + Misery + Stepford Wives (maybe, haven't seen it). I'm not saying it won't be good, but I don't think it's really gonna be scary per se.

Caught it tonight. Definitely a new spin on the genre, and lots of influence from old school horror classics with a bit of Hammer horror brand sprinkled near the end . I won't go into too many specifics, but I do think it may be wise to lower expectations a bit. It's not a jump scare kind of horror, but more about creepy atmosphere, kind of like last year's "The Witch," but this is a LOT more entertaining. This movie reminded of one of my favorite horror movies, "An American Werewolf in London" , in terms of style. The ability to be a horror movie but still maintain some humor.
That said, Universal (who distributed this movie) really does have a good catalog when it comes to the horror genre. Universal Monsters, The Thing, Psycho, etc. If I see a horror movie advertised with their logo, I tend to get a bit more confident given their track record.

I just got back from the show and thought it was phenomenal. It's a horror masterpiece and scathing satire. It's definitely one wacky game show.
At the end I blurted out to a friend of mine:

Saw this night. Absolutely loved it.
As a minority and as a Genre nut, I think this is one of the most important Genre films released in a long time.
Everyone should check it out. I'm hoping to see it again over the weekend.

FWIW, they had this in a small theater last night at my 9:40 showing and there were only about 12 people in the theater. I hope this movie does well but last night was not a good sign, or maybe it was just the fact that it was a preview screening. I truly hope the R rating isn't going to sink this one, as unlike lesser efforts like Cure For Wellness, this one is actually pretty good .
My only gripe:

A lil' too much overpraise for this on RT, but I still had a good time with it.
I loved that great touch involving the running theme of deer.

I loved this movie. It was humorous without losing tension. It was odd in an appealing way, and I never really knew where it was going. And it had the quality I like best in moves, after it was over, it let me go back and see earlier scenes in a new light. And without going too deep into the plot, I loved the spin it gave on black / white relations.

The film only cost 4.5 million to make and it made 11 million on Friday alone. The word of mouth on this is ridiculous from I'm hearing. I bet Saturday's take will be huge and this could have staying power until Logan is released Thursday.

Maybe I was just more perceptive to the hints in this case, but I called exactly where it was going even before the
Still, I enjoyed it very much.
