Hyams directs the action here with the relentless, visceral intensity of something like Day of Reckoning as Williamson's original story weaponizes trademark metatext as not-so-overblown, grizzly extremity at the height of lockdown paranoia.

Threatening spatial awareness and that dreadful aura it creates - no matter where anyone is - remains familiar but will likely never lose face.
