I thought it was so good, genuinely disturbing! I watch a lot of new horror and sometimes I can sense a promotion agenda with some of the occult themes.

Maybe it is more like in the film Society (1989) and some don't go through it until later. Maybe it is like Hereditary and they never know what is going on. I'm not sure what would be worse
