You know that feeling when you were a kid, sitting at the dinner table and your family & relatives are laughing and cryptically making eye contact with each other?

I watched this in the theatre and it genuinely scared me.Β Iβm specifically talking about that naked middle-aged man standing creepily in the dark closet with the whitest Colgate commercial smile. Plus, that now signature A24 jump scare tactic which is a cluster of naked old people. It never fails to give me the ick!Β
